Love Beautifies Everything: Selections from “The Light of Kirpal” by Sant Kirpal Singh Ji (vegetarian), Part 1 of 2

Chapter 20 Love Beautifies Everything

“When you get sweet perfume in the company of the Saints, it is like a man who sells perfumes; when you go into his shop, you enjoy perfume, even by radiation; and if he will give you a phial of perfume, then – what more do you want? This is the way the Saints develop that Love within you. Your angle of vision will be altogether changed.”

“The more you come in contact with the Light and Sound Principle within you, you’ll have all That. These are elementary steps; to live what the Master says – obey His Commandments. The more you come in contact with the Word Power within you, you will naturally overflow with all virtues. All virtues will come to you. Faults will leave you.”

“Love knows service and sacrifice. Love does not want any taking. It is always giving; sacrificing for others. Serve and sacrifice for others; only if we love, you see.”

“God is Love and Love is God. That is why all Saints laid a great stress on the Truth. The tenth Guru proclaimed, ‘Hear ye all! I tell you the Truth. Those who Love, they can know God.’” “If we love God, and God resides in every heart, and you hate, then? Well, He says you are a liar. You see? So, all Masters have stressed Love – laid stress on the term Love. They say, ‘Without Love you are nowhere – whether in this world or the other world.’”

“Love starts from the body but is absorbed in the soul. And that love which arises from within the body and is absorbed in the body – that is lust. That’s the difference between the two. The first is called charity and the other is called lust. So Love is there. You are Love and when you are attached anywhere, you forget all duality. When you have Love for the Master then you will feel some day, ‘It is not I, but it is Christ living in me.’ That means to become a Gurumukh: the mouthpiece of the Master.”

“Put in one ounce of Love in all your affairs, even the mundane affairs; you’ll have your happiness.” “He who is overflowing with Love – only He is a man. He will have no attachments. All strifes, all conflicts, all troubles go when you live for others. This is the main subject – the main teaching the Masters give.”
