The Psychology of Enlightenment
truly self-sufficient, no longer demanding anything from anyone. You are able to accept each person just as he is. When you discover in your own heart that which you admire in others, you will understand that our quest is not to see God as we might see something which is separate from us. We can find and experience in our own selves the perfection we call God; but, for this, we must expand the scope and refine the quality of our love.
Start by perceiving the whole world as your lover. Let any idea that people are against you fall away. The whole world is for you. Even those who criticize you do you a service; they are your teachers. Pain itself is your teacher; it breaks your attachments and the addictions which bind you. Each painful event brings new depth of understanding, so do not run away even from pain. Feel it, watch it, study its source and the meaning it has for you and you will come away from your pain with profound knowledge. You will touch upon the real and the permanent behind the unreal and the temporary. When you perceive your real Self, your love will be the bridge between you and your fellow beings.
Meditating on the fourth center will help you to begin loving yourself and experiencing the whole of life as love. You will be able to wake up each morning and say, “I am happy simply because I love myself and I am fully alive!" The whole spiritual journey starts from this point because love is the foundation of all spiritual teaching.
Love is the universal cycle of perfection. It is the zero point which leads to infinity. It is a single drop of water expanded into an infinite ocean.
