Keep Your Eyes On The Horizon Of Kindness

Love is a spiritual diet. Kindness is also a spiritual food. Both are essential ingredients of living a fulfilling life. How to create, enrich and sustain our kindness for our own happiness and happiness of others whom we love is a great challenge. Genuine love and kindness continue to thrive. We need to continue such light shining in our heart. Self-centeredness diminishes the light of our love and kindness and it may extinguish if we continue living that selfish way. Body and mind grow old. Light of unconditional love and kindness continues glowing. According to my understanding, keeping an eye open on the horizon of kindness means true kindness will never extinguish. It is always shining and will continue shining. We need to remain awake and aware and not go back to sleep. Light of love and kindness does not extinguish. Light of unconditional love and kindness always shines. When I was growing up in India, I deeply fell in love with my dear friend Vanleela. We were different from each other class wise and caste wise. I was born and raised in a relatively poor family while she was born and raised in a very wealthy family. What brought us closer to each other and deepened our relationship? Unconditional love, compassion and kindness. Light of love and kindness was never extinguished. Her father did not approve of our loving realtionship. We were separated from each other for four years. During those difficult years, light of unconditional love and kindness continues shining in our heart. It was never extinguished. That light still keeps on shining in my heart though she passed away fifteen years ago. Practicing mindfulness and mindfulness meditation have helped me to keep the light of love and kindness shining in my heart. May we all continue shining such light of love and kindness in our heart! Amen. Namaste! Jagdish P Dave
