Sree Krishna, the Lord of Love
Premananda Bharati, Baba
Krishna (Hindu deity)
One there is who long into My Eyes has looked. My Love is potent with
him now. Some are vain who call to Him who sitteth in the heart of every
man. He who reaches for My Love I touch with thrill unfelt before.
* *
I am revealed in every living thing, whose heart is knit in love. No
light there is wherein I do not live; no darkness is wherein I do not
peer. My seed perfected in you lives unknown, it grows and freeth you
from crooked ways. Unheard it thunders louder than the mountain claps
when they in gladness meet.
* *
You who ask, Love is best, it is the richest of all riches, it is the
gainer of all gains. Unbought, secure, once found, it never itself can
lose. Who knows not love, is blind; who knows not love is dead. Oh, you
weep because of the springing flowers, yet you cannot die. Look to the
flower-seed, deep planted in the soil itself, but watering it takes,
watering much, for it is good for you to give. So it is with Love. It is
stirred to life by My breath, but watching too it takes for it to
blossom and bear fruit. Bear love in your mind, when action you perform;
bear love in your mind in duties or tasks. With eyes of pure love in all
things look, even in yourselves. All things love-existence are. Do you
respect them as such. Even the beginnings of worlds, the whirling mote
of dust, the heart that is fertile and the heart that is barren, on all
look with eyes of pure love. In this you accomplish. Mounted on love's
white wings you will rise and obstructions will disappear as over them
you pass.
* *
Oh, arise to your true Self and there is naught to fear! Be not a
destroyer of yourself, and that you are, unless My beckoning hand of
Love you see that sets you laughing, laughing in My Law. The greatest
wisdom and self-knowledge is the immortal through the mortal to find.
When this you have done, then laws you will make and barriers break;
with the stars you will play and you will create. A man once prayed for
wisdom great, for knowledge proud, for gifts of wondrous rarity. For
these he prayed and saw not the flowers springing at his feet. O my
children! look to the flowers at your feet, the pearls of love in your
midst.
* *
Oh, seek not for happiness, nor for misery, for happiness is the seeking
of that which joys the senses. When once you know Love is the source of
all, from Love all things evolve, then in Love's embrace forever you are
locked.
