Sunday Reflections — The essence of love
This week, Sunday Reflections brings you the various dimensions of love:
“Magic exists. Who can doubt it, when there are rainbows and wildflowers, the music of the wind and the silence of the stars? Anyone who has loved has been touched by magic. It is such a simple and such an extraordinary part of the lives we live.” ~ Nora Roberts
“I turned my head to the sky, to the sun, to the stars, and put a little piece of my love in every star, in the moon, in the sun, and they loved me back. And I became one with the moon and the sun and the stars, and my love kept growing and growing. And I put a little piece of my love in every human, and I became one with the whole of humanity. Wherever I go, whomever I meet, I see myself in their eyes, because I am a part of everything, because I love.” ~ Miguel Angel Ruiz
“This is a subtle truth: whatever you love, you are.” ~ Rumi
“There are only two states of consciousness that exist — the state of the ego and the state of love. The ego is the narrow state, the seed-form, the atomic stage; love is all encompassing, love is God. The center of the ego is I; the ego exists for itself. The nectar of love is the universe. Love exists for all.” ~ Rajneesh
Piglet: “How do you spell ‘love’?” Winnie the Pooh: “You don’t spell it…you feel it.” ~ A.A. Milne
“When you align with love, fear dissolves, and things naturally come into balance. In this way, love liberates you. It sets you free from the confines of your fear and expands you toward harmonic resonance with your true nature. You always have the choice to embrace love, even when it’s easier to sink into fear. There are opportunities to exercise love in every moment. Seek them out today, and with practice you’ll find harmony. Are you ready to begin?” ~ Panache Desai
“Love is the ability to live your life with an empowered heart without attachment to the outcome, the ability within yourself to distinguish within yourself between love and fear and choose love regardless of what is going on inside yourself or outside. This is self-mastery or authentic power…” ~ Gary Zukov
“Something amazing happens when we surrender and just love. We melt into another world, a realm of power already within us. The world changes when we change. the world softens when we soften. The world loves us when we choose to love the world.” ~ Marianne Williamson
“I understood that at the core, our essence is made of pure love. We are pure love-every single one of us. How can we not be, if we come from the Whole and return to it? I knew that realizing this meant never being afraid of who we are. Therefore, being love and being our true self is one and the same thing!” ~ Anita Moorjani
“The love that you search for everywhere is already present within you. It may be evoked by any number of people or events. But finally, you must realize you are this love. The source of all love is within you.” ~ Gangaji
