God’s love flows all the same, because it is unconditional. It makes no difference who you
are, His love pours on everyone all the time.
It is we who are unable to accept His love.
Similarly, an upright pot gets filled with rain water, but if it is kept upside down it will not fill. The rain pours all the same, because it is unconditional.
It does not say: If you do this, or be like this, then only shall I rain on you.
God’s love and benediction pour forever.
If it were not so, what is the difference between temporal love and divine love?
The very bane of human love is: If you do this I shall love you. If you become like this I shall love you. I shall love you only if you fulfill my conditions.
This is what the father says to the son, the wife to the husband, the friend to a friend.
Saints and mystics refer to an experience beyond worldly love. God’s love rains forever.
If you fulfill the conditions you will be filled like the upright pot. Filled to the brim, you will overflow with His love and everyone around will receive the overflow.
The Guru is one whose vessel is so filled with God’s love that he can contain no more. As he begins to overflow other vessels are filled through him. His vessel is so full that now he is capable of giving. And what can he do but give?
When the cloud is saturated it must rain. Then only can it become light. The flower saturated with fragrance must give it up to the winds.
In the same way, when your vessel is filled with His love, it will shower all around you.
There is no end to His grace.
Once you know that, you will be filled merely by keeping your vessel upright, the grace from above never ceases to pour. Then no matter how much you give out your vessel is always brimming.
