A life without love is of no
account. Don’t ask yourself what kind of love you should seek, spiritual or
material, divine or mundane, Eastern or Western…. divisions only lead to more
divisions. Love has no labels, no definitions. It is what it is pure and
simple. Love is the water of life. And a lover is a soul of fire. The universe
turns differently when fire loves water.
A life without love means to take
living beings just as things, as object without self-value for unrestricted use – plants,
animals, humans. They all have one task, to serve my purposes and to be
consumed for that. Even more, all the other existent things, namely lifeless
nature get deprived of any self-worth.
Materialistic consciousness
has brought this view to perfection and created the maximum alienation possible
to mankind. Whatever we encounter as a thing is alien to us, because it has
been ripped off its aliveness. We only can develop an inner trust to living
beings. It is clear that we create a split in ourselves by turning ourselves to
an object without noticing. And this object has to function perfectly. The
animate sphere becomes an opposite which we meet with aggression in case it
does not fit our purposes. Eventually, we ally ourselves with death by
declaring life as an enemy. (Death, by the way, does not accept this offer, as
it cannot be treated as an instrument of human will – every materialist will be
addressed by death with great reliability in the given time.)
