English, 24.jun.25

You draw a creeper with many flowers on a piece of paper. When the wind blows, the paper will flutter, but not the creeper drawn on the paper. Likewise, your mind may waver due to the influence of bad company, but your heart will remain steady when you are endowed with true love. Nobody can change the true love that is present in your heart. Love should find place not just in your mind, but in your heart. The mind is nothing but a bundle of thoughts. The love that is sustained in your mind by thoughts will be driven away by another current of thoughts. Therefore, you should preserve love and sacred feelings in your heart. True love has three qualities. First, it knows no fear. Second, it does not beg anything from anyone. Third, it is love for love’s sake and not for any material gain. These three qualities are the very core of love. This type of sacred love is actually true love. – Divine Discourse, Jun 20, 1996.
