Gurmukh said that.
"I know beacause I KNOW. " She also added, "And nobody can touch that!"
I love her.
I KNOW that I was born to love. I have dived through the koshas (the dimensions of personality) and KNOW what dwells in the center of my being. Deep, deep inside, I am MAGNIFICENT! I am exquisitely loved. I KNOW that my undistorted self is the pure essence of love. Love is the pervading awareness of all beings.
But to know this you have to remember, you did not create yourself. You have to let go of everything you think you know about yourself. You have to let go of all the stories you've ever been told about yourself. When you do, what remains is the untarnished you! The luminous presence of who you have always been - who you REALLY are!
Love is your inherent constitution.
There is nothing else.
This is yet another step on the yogic path that is not easy. It is difficult to let go of those myths you've been replaying in your mind. It is not easy to stop this controlling pattern. It is not easy to stop pretending to be one way rather than being your authentic loving self. It requires tremendous courage to release firmly held beliefs. But when once you catch a glimspe of yourself, you will relaize that you have been blinding yourself.
Do you have any idea how loved you are? HOW much love you are?
There is no reason to be self-critical, to be full of self-doubt, to be full of guilt. Plunge inside and look at yourself. Trust me, underneath it all - embracing it all - is beautiful creative energy, grounded in pure love. THIS is the natural state of being.
Are you suspicious of all this talk of love?
Is this sounding like I'm living in a field of daisies with unicorns frolicking under a sky of rainbows?
I encourage you to desire.
Desire to know the truth about YOURSELF instead of following the lives of others. Their spiritual growth is none of your business. Desire to WANT to know YOUR truth. Open up your mind to what is actually so - to living the truth of you. It is the most life-affirming thing you can do. What you will find is true love. YOU are love. You are joy.
But you'll never be convinced of this until you go in - again and again. You will know that love is what you are because you will experience it! You will know that you didn't put it there, another person didn't put it there. Love is not some mental ideal that you adopt, it is not something you "conjure up". It is not something you place responsibility on from another being. You will know happiness. It is something you discover within yourself.
It is not ego-centric or arrogant or conceited to know and express this love of yourself. It is no more narcissistic to experience spontaneous happiness and self-love than it is to appreciate the magnificence of the ocean or the moon.
The wonder and beauty of you is not "your doing".
You do not have be be any other way other than the way you are!
PHEW!
Let LOVE out!
Live your TRUTH!
KNOW!
