Sree Krishna, the Lord of Love
Premananda Bharati, Baba
Krishna (Hindu deity)
Ye, O my children, that jewel shall wear on your brow. I who am All Love
ye may wear and I who am love-filled ye may hold. For love must ever fly
to love and love must ever draw from love, and love must ever live in
love, for life doth spring from love. And I do live in love.

Oh, list! Plant not thy seed in fertile ground and wait for it to root
and blossom and fruit for thy own self alone. Rather do thou plant thy
seed for the heart of every heart that lives within My Great Heart. He
who waters, tends and sprouts his plant not for his own sweet taste
alone but for the taste of every man, he of that sweetness and freshness
shall taste even before the fruit is ripe. Know you, O my children, the
life which I have given you sprang from My Love. Oh, make thy life a
song sublime and not a groan.
* *
Evil availeth not when you my laws do know. List I fill your heart with
love, with sunshine which freely I scatter to you; and I will bring
there soft rains and the seed of love to life I will stir; and that
which to your senses of infants doth reek of the charnel-house, a
fertilizer shall become, for your love to grow and sprout, even as the
creeping vine that drops and takes root wherever it falls.

I am the swiftness in the sailing cloud, the flame struck from the
flint. I am the fire housed in every star, the breath I am of every
living thing. All things that are, do love, for I am all that lives—I,
who am life and love— I, who am love and life, and naught is there
besides. The hearing ear I am, the seeing eye, the throbbing heart, I
waken in every man the love that reaches out.
* *
O Daughter! Rise in thy dignity and survey that which thou art master of
and look to the marble halls which beckon thee even now. Know this, that
love and wisdom is the mystery of all things and that Love when
understood is twin to Dominion. Do thou the work that lies at thy hand!
Remember each day is thy fulfilled world. It is thy Zion, it is thy life
complete. Such jewels as have crowned few are daily being laid at thy
feet! Spurn them not for the material seeming blessings which invite
thee.

A HOLY MAN'S PRAYER.
There was a holy man who thought never of himself, but ever of those
among whom he lived and passed his days. So wondrous virtuous and holy
he was, that ofttimes the host of unseen ones who loved to remain near
him recognized the greatness of his goodness and spoke among themselves
thus: "Holy is this man in truth and strange to say he knows it not.
Surely few are like him. Let us who love him ask him how he would be
served by us, how we may bestow upon him gifts which to the blind
earthwalkers are called the supernatural or miraculous."
