True love...
is a universal, nondiscriminating sense of care and connectedness. In it we can include even those whom we may not at all like or approve of. We may not condone their behaviour, but we can cultivate understanding and forgiveness toward them. True love becomes a powerful tool for transforming any situation. Love is not passive acquiescence. Love is inclusive and powerful, and when we touch it in our practice this becomes a direct experience for us.
As the New Testament teaches, and Meher Baba put so well, "true love is unconquerable and irresistible." There is no hardship and no difficulty that enough love cannot conquer, no distance that enough love cannot span, no barrier that enough love cannot overcome. Whatever the question, love is the answer. This is a universal law and a lesson in spiritual practice that our hearts must learn. The Buddha said clearly: "Hatred never ceases through hatred. Hatred only ceases through love."
