The knowledge of love
We all have spent time pursuing either “knowledge” or “love”, with variable results. And almost always, when we look back, is not difficult to see that those were relative terms. Knowledge in the superficial sense is always tied to time, place, source, etc. and gets periodically discarded and modified. Usual constructs of love are most times a single step away from its opposite…Given how much time and energy we spend in those pursuits it quickly becomes frustrating that an absolute, lasting goal is not within reach. And when we feel that frustration, we then start searching for the higher and subtler Reality.
At that point we have to accept that only someone who is one with the Reality can lead us there. As Einstein said, we need a higher awareness to overcome problems created in a certain state of awareness. And when we search for absolute meanings, only the highest awareness will do. We cannot reach them on our own as the destination is “invisible” in our current state, someone who is there has to show us the way. And that person has to blend the absolute love with absolute knowledge, as in reality they are but different expressions of the same all - pervading spiritual energy. And obviously we have all been exceptionally lucky to have Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi come forward and lead us into that beautiful Reality.
She has forever embodied that Knowledge of Love, where love knows everything and all knowledge is used for and by pure love. Countless personal stories of meditators across the world illustrate Her unmatched power of Love and Knowledge. But the greatest story is the silent transformation that Shri Mataji has directly triggered in so many and through them in so many others, a most amazing and unprecedented waterfall of manifestation of the pure all-pervading energy, which is Reality itself. And that transformation is always manifested in the centre, in an ever more balanced state. We can sometimes move from one extreme to another - for example we can become very lethargic and subdued from a hyperactive state - but that is not at all attaining balance. True evolutionary transformation is when all extremes are behind us and a joyful state of equilibrium becomes our nature and we start ourselves blending the absolute forms of love and knowledge. And by that we come closer to knowing the nature and greatness of our Teacher, which further grows and and strengthens our connection with Reality. A beautiful upwards spiral that everyone should experience!
