Real Love, Its Nature and Its Power

Love brings and enriches love. Love does
not rest content with merely loving,
but flows out in acts of service. Love is delightful only when it freely gives itself.

Love must be revealed in service;
otherwise, love has no value; such a love
is no love. Love cheerfully sacrificies.
Love willingly suffers. Such a love
illumines and blesses life. Love for God,
real devotion, is not mere emotionalism,
it is the tuning of the will, the heart
and the mind to the eternal and
indestructible Music of the Divine. It blossoms into Gnosis, Wisdom Divine. It leads to God-Experience and attainment
of Immortality.
