Since our work is about the heart chakra, I thought I would do a little remedial reading on the meaning of love and give myself a refresher course on what it is and why we're here. Anyone interested, please join me. Here's my first inspirational nugget.
The Wonders of Love - Swami Omkarananda
Love is Greater than Wisdom, Logic, Virtue and Prayer
More than intelligence, Love quickens talent and genius. Without Love, intelligence can
do much harm. More than logic, Love assigns to reason the dignity of an unerring
thought. Without Love, logic can be dangerous.
More than Law, Love dispenses a justice that elicits ultroneously the enthusiastic
approval of Man, God and all Nature. Without Love, law can be blind and cruel.
More than wisdom, Love is an all-comprehending Virtue, and spans in the extent of its
phenomenon, meaning and power, both the ethical and the spiritual thought, action and
achievement. There can be no real wisdom without Love. Love is a Power for
accomplishment, a Force for culture, a Sentiment that renders all life, one. Love is an
exalted emotion that uplifts the soul of man into a divine Awareness.
