My sweet daughter Pili, this winter ski vactions we got together @ Bariloche, in solitude and tender, I was really tired, exhausted, stressed and desoriented. But been with you, my sweetest baby, I learnt -again- the greatest pursuit is not good health, unsurpassed wisdom, economic surplus, political freedom, or even faith that can move mountains. It is the daily practice of the greatest of the non-negotiable laws of wellness, the Law of Unconditional Loving. Unconditional, nonjudgmental loving. This is our aim, life’s single highest and most rewarding pursuit... The highest expression of Divine Design is applied love found in loving relationships between people. Not the erotic love we see on television and in the movies but love rooted in a decision to serve. It is a dynamic state of consciousness, a giving, creative flow, and a harmony. It’s an acceptance of the human condition as perfectly imperfect. And it is a choice to love without regard to any conditions; no “ifs” are allowed in this, the greatest of laws.
Love implies great freedom, but not to do what you like. Love comes only when the mind is very quiet, disinterested, not self-centered. These are not ideals. If you have no love -do what you will, go after all the gods on earth, do all the social activities, try to reform the poor, enter politics, write books, write poems- you are a dead human being. Without love your problems will increase, multiply endlessly. And with love, do what you will, there is no risk, there is no conflict. Then love is the essence of virtue. A mind that is not in a state of love is not a religious mind at all; and it is only the religious mind that is freed from problems, and that knows the beauty of love and truth.
