LOVE AND DETACHMENT

God is teaching us the art of loving.  He is the Bestower, He is the

Ocean of Love and He is willing to give us so much.  But first I have

to learn the art of detachment, otherwise I won't have the right

to claim His love.

Detachment is a talent as well as an art.  It is developed through soul

consciousness which, together with a deep relationship with God,

will keep me from being deceived by the attraction of limited love.

It means to be so centered in the consciousness of my true spiritual

nature that there is a natural, automatic rejection of adverse

personality traits within me and illusionary attractions around me.

Detachment allows me to be unaffected by these and so able to

continue cultivating the values and virtues of my

spiritual personality.

God is willing to give us all His love, but if the first condition of

detachment is not met we will not be able to receive it.  Turning my

eye in any other direction will block the truth and finish my

progress. It's a very strong pre-requisite.
