In love itself, there is no need,

no absence of anything, no void.

we discover we have enough for ourselves and for everyone else,

and we need go no further.

We become like a well;

we quench our own thirst

and have water enough for anyone who passes by.

-Chetanananda

If you take what the Buddha and Christ said,
and all the great yogis, saints, sages,
mystics, and lovers of God,
it can be reduced to two words:
Choose Love.
There is nothing higher than Love,
nothing purer,
nothing more selfless,
nothing more powerful,
and it is present in every moment.
Choose Love.
In all times, in all places -
Choose Love,
for Love has already chosen you.
-Lawrence Edwards, "Kalidas"
