LOVE
TRANSFORMS
People
are not basically bad or evil. But what happens is most people as they grow
cannot resist or rebel against the irrational, senseless beliefs, thrust upon
them. They lack the strength to fight all the things – from childhood that put
them down. They become discouraged, part cynical and end up with flaws, doubts,
complexes and above all an overriding fear and insecurity about themselves.
They failed to develop the independence needed to question the belief systems
and think on their own.
They,
thus end up average and what do they do? They follow the rules set by the
society in which they live. They choose blindness under pressure and live out a
life in a mediocre way.
Is
this really necessary?
Do
people really have to live like that - blind, driven, busy always with
calculations, led by their inner fears to carry out and fill time to do things
which they don’t really want and not knowing anything else?
It
is possible to transform people. But what we need is love. What is love?
Love
in the sense I mean here is, basic respect and belief in man and probably for
the first time in his life – understanding him uniquely and deeply so that he
could feel free and express whatever he feels. It means to talk, talk at length
once, twice, and repeatedly.
Sticking
to him/her and repeating the truth and giving him perspective again and again
from several angles and in a variety of occasions brings about dramatic changes
in most of the people.
Of
course, some are more resistant, some seem to be impossible to be changed, some
come to your side and are struck by your words and love, easily. Some keep
shifting…
Expect
nothing. You are not a zealot but simply a man who speaks the truth. That is
enough. That transforms!
A
few would become your ardent fans because only with you they would feel the
peace and joy of a simple view of life as happiness and no baggage of fear.
It’s
a pleasure really. It keeps you going. Be calm and deal with people with a
spirit of love and detachment.
Your
road is then clear. That is how one lives in a blind world.
The
world can be won! It demands love for the good things and a deep, profound
feeling for life and its glory and beauty.
