Love

Love is a small word but it contains

The whole of religion and the whole of art.

It contains all that is precious in life

All that is valuable.

That which is not contained in love

Is not of any worth.

Let love be your religion, your god.

Worship love -- and the only way to worship love

Is to be loving.

Be loving to everyone for no reason at all

Just for the joy of loving.

Love the trees and the animals and the people

The stars, the birds, the rocks.

This whole existence is our home

And we are an intrinsic part of it.

It gives us so much and we don't respond.

The moment you start loving it

You will be surprised:

Your love is returned in a thousandfold way.

It starts pouring from all directions

And in all dimensions.

You are simply bathed every moment.

It goes on and on showering.

Then life is a celebration.

And unless life becomes a celebration, remember

You have not known life yet.

It has to be discovered.

In fact there is no other god except love.

Love more and more, become love.

Love whatsoever surrounds you.

Love yourself, love others.

Make it a point that every breath, slowly slowly

Becomes full of the fragrance of love.

That is going to be your path to god.
