a pledge for sacred love
My love for you will never change. I would have loved you, even if I had never met you. I know you in my heart, feel you in my soul, and I have never asked why. I can’t possess you, my love is more than that. You may go away but you can never leave, never die, my love bridges that void. I know your every breath, I smell your skin, feel your eyes on me. I expect nothing. My love is pure, only my expectations can be rejected. My dream is to make your happiness eternal.
In stillness the balance and beauty of all existence rises in your heart.
There is a perfect moment of truth, and it is called falling in love. Falling because it bypasses the ego, your mind and your emotions. In that moment, there is no time, space, worry or expectation. You are, for that one moment, in perfect stillness, stress-free, disarmed, in love.
Your ageing drops away, your posture changes, your whole mechanism operates differently. It is a totally beautiful moment, the stillness of love. This is the foundation on which a relationship can grow; this sacred moment of truth when all else disappears, stillness comes over you, and you fall in love.
be still
That is why we call falling in love a totally sacred moment. In this Life in the city has become strangely cut off from nature. So we must moment the ego just loses control and, without warning, we fall learn, or relearn, the practice and mastery of inner stillness, past our defenses, and become in love. Actually, we can fall in to become available for love. Stillness is an essential asset for any love anytime, because that love in our heart is always there. It is great relationship, because it leads to spontaneous acts of falling hidden behind our mind, our beliefs, our expectations and our fears. in love, again and again. The key is to learn how to do nothing. To sit All those things that construct the ego sit in front of our love. So, formost of us, falling in love happens when we least expect it, when we sit under a beautiful tree, to watch the movement of water, to listen to the are relaxed, when there is no tension, ambition or struggle.
In this sacred moment we are fully present. In love there is no time, no space, no desire, no fear, no judgement. We are spontaneous, suddenly thrown back into ourselves, and this is the sign. We are lost, disorientated, we can’t remember our own name, and we don’t know where we are. Time and space vanish. It is a most amazing experience in life. Friends laugh at us. They see us gone, logic abandons us, and there we are, enlightened, awakened, even for a few seconds, we know this is love.
When you fall in love, the whole mechanism of the ego stops. You have touched your being, your centre, and you feel you are at the source of truth and love, unexplainable love. As bliss fills you, a fragrance surrounds you. Suddenly you are not the same person you were, and it hits you deeply. That is why love transforms so much of life. If you are able to be in love you cannot hide, it is impossible. This is what people fear when they fear love. They fear being exposed.
be still, the first key to sacred love
When you fall in love, the mind cannot work. Its whole function has become useless, absurd. The person you were longing to become, and the person you were longing for, is there. Now what? Your heart was searching for love, and now it is there. The ego cannot think, it goes into shock, but this is it; spontaneous truth, the sacred moment.
You can be the bravest hero, the biggest business tycoon, greatest athlete, even a rock idol or movie star, but love doesn’t care who you are or what you do. It cuts through, reveals you, brings your whole being into the vulnerable space of uncertainty. You are lost, your feet leave the floor. Only your ego can save you or stop you.
In those sacred moments when you fall in love, you bypass all the other layers of the ego. You are not your body, although your body is involved; you are not your mind, although your mind sees and feels; you are not your heart, although your heart beats faster, opens and sheds tears and warmth; and you are not your spirit, although your spirit rises and you feel touched. When you fall in love, you are lost, naked, exposed. There is no “I ness”, there is nothing to compare with because you are not in your mind or body. You fall into love because the body, the mind, and the heart have no reason. The ego is asleep, and you are living in truth.
But life in the city has become strangely cut off from nature, truth and the universe; man-made buildings have taken the place of valleys and mountains, and the roar of traffic has been substituted for that of boisterous streams. Something definitely happens to the city dwellers; they are brittle and polished, they have churches and museums, drinks and theatres, beautiful clothes and endless shops. There are people everywhere – on the streets, in the buildings, in the rooms. While all this transpires, a beautiful cloud passes across the sky, and so few look up. There is rush and turmoil, so little time for stillness.
Recently a friend asked me to go for morning exercise through his favourite park. It was an awesome park. We left home and he started talking about his corporate strategy, his new ideas for renovations of his home, and then some personal matters. We walked for an hour and I listened to his inspirational stories. When we arrived back home, I asked him if he’d like to do the walk my way – just half.
This time I asked him to follow my guide in silence. We got to a tree, I put my hand on it and invited him to do the same – to touch the bark, get dirty, feel the texture, imagine the journey the bark had been through to get there. Then, I pointed to a bird that was shuffling in the leaves nearby, a beautiful bright coloured bird, and we both smiled at each other. I saw a glint in his eye that wasn’t there before.
We walked on and came to a grassy hilltop. It was damp from the rain last night. I lay on it, soaking myself in the warmth and smell, then rolled down the hill like a child, I began to laugh. He followed, reluctant to get wet, but by the end he was sobbing into his hands. After a while we walked on, and there was the bridge we had stormed past on our first round. I stepped off the bridge, put my feet in the small river, and searched below the crystal-clear surface for rocks and stones to hold. He followed suit and we both threw those stones out into the lake to watch the ripples connect everything.
I found a magnificent flower dropped from a branch. I placed it between my palms and handed it to him, with a smile, and gave him the hug of his life. His eyes filled with tears again, and we walked slowly home. We must re-learn the art of stillness to choose love.
This spontaneous act of falling in love is an essential asset for any sacred relationship. The keys to this path to love are in learning to be totally present. It may be confrontational at first, but, eventually, this experience of falling in love will become a permanent experience, always behind the reality of everyday life.
When you commit to be open, you can truly fall back in love any time you choose. We go straight past the ego, past the intellect, and we fall back in love because there is no expectation, no resistance, no question, nothing to defend or protect, no “I” or “me”; there is just love. There is no reason, so there is no resistance. If you can master this art, then you can choose to make it last one second, or a lifetime.
No matter what the circumstances, whether you are single or in your relationship, you can fall in love again and again. It is the most beautiful art, the most profound education.
This stillness does not depend on circumstances, but draws us straight to the moment of love. Then there is no memory needed, there is no hoping for a special circumstance or event. Whether you are laying in each other’s arms, or separated forever, love can be celebrated in all its beauty. You can become available to fall in love any moment you choose.
