Expand Your Love

"Become like the flute, a hollow reed, straight, light, with no substance to hinder His breath.  Then He will come and pick you up and breathe divine music through you, playing upon you with a delicate touch.  In His hand the infinitesimal will be transmuted into the Infinite.  Intensify the love that is present within you.  It is a sacred gift.  Expand your love so that all beings can share in it.  Your love must be such that if someone around you is sad, you feel sad and if they are happy, you feel happiness.  Have your love fixed and devoted on the Lord, whether your petty wishes get fulfilled or not.  Never let go, under any circumstances, this precious treasure - your Love for God."
