Narada Bhakti Sutras - Day 12

Love knows no boundaries

• If there is anything that you can give equally to anybody and everybody, to everything, is divine love.
• Love goes beyond all barriers and boundaries.
• There is no distinction of cast, colors, race in love. Every where there is same love.
• Divine love can shine in any form, anywhere and in anybody.
• To be a devotee/ a realized person, you don't need any qualification.
• Like nature doesn't make any difference in anybody so is a saint. Because saint is of its own 'nature' - the nature of divine. The nature of divine is unconditional love.
• The ways of nature are mysterious, so are the ways of a saint - can't be comprehended.
• What can be predicted is logic; something that is beyond logic cannot be predicted.
• One that can be predicted is logic but love that that is greater and beyond logic cannot be predicted.
• Don’t depend on logic; logic is a small portion of our existence.
• Universe is so vast; don't think of love through logic.
• What kills love - an argument. Argument means disagreement (and how can disagreement stand love which knows no disagreement). Arguments turn into fight.
• Through argument you can never change anybody's feelings (if ever feelings are changed through argument, it would change for bad and become even worse and cannot be made better).
• Love cannot be proved. Certain things should be taken for granted; love is one of such things.
• Your very attitude that 'love is undying' will uplift the love for you in others.
• But if you demand love, it will burden on others which will even diminish whatever love the other person is having.
• Don’t ask for a proof of love. Don't be demanding.
• If you feel somebody's love has increased for you that what it used to be earlier, just be with them & say "I know you love me so much".
• People demand love for their own comfort but it’s your giving comfort to others that will bring love to you.
• Contentment & taking for granted that everybody loves you, will put you in comfort with yourself which (this comfort with oneself) is very important for divine love to dawn.
• Actions or words cannot be the proof of love because these things depend on logic and love is beyond logic.
• One, who is in divine love, doesn't depend on logic or argument.
• Listen to scripture (such as Bhakti Sutras) that talk of love. You should do any activity that kindles love in you.
• Simple acts of kindness can bring love to you.
• You don't demand love but at the same time don't stop yourself from sharing love with others. Express it.
• Listen to sutras again and again. Similarly do act of charity time and again.
• Don’t claim for seva that you do.
• If your nature is kindness, generosity and compassion, everybody will love your company.
• Feelings are what matter, not the words nor even the actions.
• Whatever you offer with feelings, gratitude, faith will reach HIM (remember tea bag story).
• Don't be bothered of small things in daily dealing with people or in relationship; this is the rule to blossom in divine love.
