I don't know what you know. You don't feel what I feel. To "know" without the accurate feeling is like a boat without a sail or compass less than an empty vessel a broken, useless vessel. A path can not be walked or talked without the desire to go forth. All of life is born from the seed of desire -- feeling. Maybe you are "full" in nirvana without desire, your desire all that man aches and groans for and from, to and fro. Yet, you can not fulfill your destiny while sentient beings are suffering. Take that potential desire and make it positive: the greatest virtue and honor is to join in the wave of suffering, join that feeling so that you may know the disease and in this life or countless lifetimes, finally, Know the cure. To participate in the process of Freedom is our True Destiny on Earth. What is Love? Just a feeling? Perhaps, I propose, it is the unity of feeling and knowledge (knowledge manifested as "to know"). This unity of feeling and knowledge creates the possible circumstances for compassion to arise and multiply. Compassion promotes the relief of suffering. In error, to create more suffering with love means that the "knowing" aspect is missing or not balanced with the right intention of feeling... because to truly know, taste, feel, hear, see, grasp "love" is truly paradise on earth -- freedom. To love with the unity of "to know" is pure compassion as the one unity of one intention extinguishes the flame of suffering. One must know the correct way to love. That is the "knowing". The feeling truly becomes the knowing when they unite. The manifestation of love produces spontaneous and endless compassion to fill each heart as one force used to release the bondages of suffering. This is how you know love, you release each other of pain. This is how the feeling and knowledge unite: KNOW LOVE. A question and answer I later pondered on: Is Love a release towards ultimate freedom for our souls? Think of the feeling of love making, not sex making, and think of the wholeness vibrating in every cell and realized in every faculty of your "knowing" brain. |
