Universal Love

As we discussed slokas 2.16-2.18, there was really a spirited exchange of thoughts and opinions. Some of them were, how can I see/experience my soul, and is soul, God, or by seeing my soul, an I see other's souls? Continuing on the same lines, I think, it would be possible to experience the soul when we practice the universal love among all creatures (both animate and inanimate). When we experience the this Love, we may be able to "see" the soul and experience it. The same is said in the Bible, "love thy enemy as you would love your neighbor". Once a human being is above the limitations of worldly love and hate, and tries to practice the fact that every thing is a reflection of the Almighty in various forms, and if (s)he can feel that inside, then (s)he is one step closer to achieving the visitation to the Soul.

On Saturday, Gopalji and I were saying that Swami is present and takes part in our discussion, which we feel by the very apt thought for the day message that he gives us, and here it is once more -

You have it in your power to make your days on earth a bed of roses instead of a bed of thorns. Recognise the Sai resident in every heart and everything will be smooth and easy. Sai will be the fountain of love in your heart and in the hearts of all you come in contact with. Know that Sai is Omnipresent and that He is present in every living being. Adore everyone as you adore Sai.
