Love in PoliticsLove has a
place in
politics, but it is the love for one's country, for one's
countrymen,
for the
glory, greatness and happiness of the race, the divine aananda of
self-immolation for one's fellows, the ecstacy of relieving their
sufferings,
the joy of seeing one's blood flow for country and freedom, the bliss
of union
in death with the fathers of the race.
The feeling of almost physical
delight
in the touch of the mother soil, of the winds that blow from Indian
seas, of
the rivers that stream from Indian hills, in the sight of Indian
surroundings,
Indian men, Indian women, Indian children, in the hearing of Indian
speech,
music, poetry, in the familiar sights, sounds, habits, dress, manners
of our
Indian life, this is the physical root of that love [of Mother India].
The pride in our
past, the
pain of our present, the passion for the future are its trunk and
branches.
Self-sacrifice, self-forgetfulness, great service and high endurance
for the
country are its fruit.
And the sap which keeps it alive is the
realisation of
the Motherhood of God in the country, the vision of the Mother, the
knowledge
of the Mother, the perpetual contemplation, adoration and service of
the
Mother.

Food for thought
When you said "Yes" to Me, you gave up the right to be like everyone else. That
is why you draw experiences to yourself that will cleanse yourself of that which
does not fit who you are. Over and over, again and again, until I make you see
that the past no longer works. I challenge you and tempt you every day with your
past, so that you may see that the past is the ultimate delusion. When you said
"yes" to Me you gave Me your body, your thoughts and your actions. When they
don't suit the new you, the uncomfortableness is unbearable. It will be so EVERY
time and when you realize this fully, then and only then will you completely
give up desire. For this is the only way man will learn. Very seldom does he
learn by quiet reminders. Man's desires and pitfalls are placed there so that I
may do My work. When you give up totally, then the temptations will fade. I will
never give up on you. Every slip will become harder and harder to bear and less
easy to remedy. You will tire of your foolishness because I love you and though
not completely aware of it, you did say "Yes".
