________________ Pure Love Pure Love The Non-discriminating Love Of The Gnani Love is when there is no falling apart, no separation. It is called love when there is no discrimination. Such love is said to be within normal limits. If there is any difference in one's love for another person, then it will fluctuate. It will increase when the other person does something good and decrease when he or she does something wrong. It deviates from normality. The real love does not take account of the other person's actions. It only looks at the Self within that person. Questioner : What is that we feel for you, Dada? weapons of anger, pride, attachment and greed. I aim to conquer the world through love. The love that people know and understand is the mundane worldly love. Real love is that which will not depress me if you insult me, or elevate me if you praise me. In real love no changes occur. If any changes do occur, they will be of this body and not of the pure love. I, the love incarnate, am separate from these thoughts, speech and acts. Even an attractive person appears ugly because of his ego. When he becomes the pure Self, he will be beautiful. Then even the ugly will look beautiful, but it is only when pure love arises within. People want unconditional love, love devoid of selfishness. This is nature's law, because love is the Self. Where There Is Love, There Is Liberation Dadashri : It is my love that grabs you. Real love touches the whole world. Where can you find love? Love is found wherever there is oneness. So when can one attain oneness with the world? It is when one becomes the embodiment of love that oneness with the whole world is attained. There you see only love. When is it called infatuation and attraction? It is when you want worldly things. When you desire material things. There is no problem with yearning for real happiness. There is no problem with the love you have for me. That love will help you. All other types of love will disappear. Questioner: So the feelings that we have for you, is it the result of love in your heart? Dadashri : Yes, it is the result of love. People become wise with this weapon of love. I do not have to scold them. I do not mean to scold anyone. The only weapon I have is this love. I mean to conquer this world with love'. I have laid down my arms. I have laid down my weapons of anger, pride, attachment and greed. The world wields these Where there is no love, there is no path to liberation. Even when one does not know the right things to say, one is offered only love. This is pure love. God exists where there is honesty in relative interactions and where there is pure love, which does not increase, or decrease. These are the two places where God resides. Where there is love, faith and purity, that is where God is. Love arises after one transcends the relative self and becomes absolutely independent. Where can one find Gnan, real knowledge? It is where work is achieved through love. There, there is no give or take. There is oneness there. Where there is an exchange of money, there is no love. Do people not charge a fee for their spiritual discourses? That is a business and you will not find love there. Where there is love there is no deceit. Where there is deceit there is no love.
