11- WIN GOD'S GIFT OF LOVE

You cannot bargain for love. No amount of penance, meditation, puja, etc. can give that gift of Love. Once the gift comes from God it burns up all the veils of sanskaras (impressions).

To love one soul is like adding its life to your own. Your life, as it were, is multiplied and you vicariously live in two centers. If you love the whole world, you vicariously live in the whole world.

Love others as you would love yourself and all that is yours. Fortunate are they whose love is tested by misfortunes. Love demands that the lover sacrifices himself for the Beloved.

If you have that love for Me that St. Francis had for Jesus, then not only will you realize Me, but you will please Me.
