Love is an active force. Every act
of the loving one is done with the
stainless mind to help, to succor,
to cheer, to make the paths of
others easier, smoother and more
adapted to the conquest of sorrow,
the winning of the highest bliss.
The way to develop love is
through thinking out the evils of
hate, and the advantages of non-
hate; through thinking out
according to actuality, according
to karma, that really there is none
to hate, that hate is a foolish way
of feeling which breeds more and
more darkness, that obstructs
right understanding. Hate
restricts; love release. Hatred
strangles; love enfranchises.
Hatred brings remorse; love
brings peace. Hatred agitates; love
quietens, stills, calms. Hatred
divides; love unites. Hatred
hardens; love softens. Hatred
hinders; love helps. And thus
through a correct study and
appreciation of the effects of
hatred and the benefits of love,
should one develop love.
