Loving the Invisible...

But, man today has not really understood what spirituality means. He is under the mistaken notion that spirituality means merely offering worship and prayers to God and performing rituals. Man today worships inanimate idols and images, but makes no attempt to love his fellow human beings. If a man cannot love a fellow human being who is visible before his eyes, how can he love someone not visible to him? This is not possible.

Only a man who loves those around him can love the invisible Divine.

- BABA

At times mia surprises herself altogether..is this a part of growing up or is this somethingelse altogether? staid and steady when she should be shaking like a leaf, mia minus the exam blues...not worrying about the future when others are debating, obsessing and starting to feel the butterflies..I guess miracles do happen on earth!

for all that talk of not being bothered...maybe the time will come as the days go by and the due date approaches.
however, knowing you, you will be prepared for anything.
what is the point of wasting your energy loving people you don't know? seems good in theory, but practice requires another answer.

Loving those u know nothing about is truly teh easiest ....if only u fully knew every person u freely give ur love to now! u'd find it all the more difficlut to love 'em the way u do.....besides what have u to lose if u were to love everyone around you..why does everything in life have to be abt wats in it for u? ...these are just questions mia asks herself everytime she trips over her own resolutions
