How can you ask yourself how to love? Either there is love or there is not. You cannot teach yourself to love. It is a spontaneous ongoing process. Love is being totally open, totally vulnerable. In true love, there are no securities that you can cling to. You have given up everything for the sake of love. A guru is one on whom the spiritual power has descended through the guru parampara tradition. He is born from time to time as a repository of spiritual force, which he transmits to future generations through successive links of guru and disciple. He has purity of heart and soul. He carries out his work without any selfish motive. His work is performed simply out of love, out of pure love for mankind at large. The only medium through which spiritual force can be transmitted is love.
