People pray to me to solve their difficulties, saying that they love me. But there is a vast difference between love and prayer. In Persian to pray means to beg, to want, to desire something, even the blessings of God. But when a person really loves, he gives himself over to his beloved completely. This is true love. In that there is no begging, no wanting, and no room for desires. Only the longing to unite with the beloved remains. Love means the renunciation of the self. Prayer means selfishness, no matter how high the prayer may be. So there is a vast difference between when one prays and when one loves. |
Dedicated to sharing expressions of conscious or higher love, through sacred poetry and inner reflections. In honoring and serving Love, we are serving Divinity and entering the realms of Eternal Truth. The Temple of Love is a place of serving Love through writings from the soul.
