🧠Introduction to the ‘Spiritual Detox and Cognitive Cleansing’ course. ‘Care is the universal expression of love. 💞
[For example] Mother Theresa, she cared for humanity. She was Italian but she lived all her live in Kolkata and she was a nurse. She was devoted to Jesus and she dedicated her life to care homes. This was an utter depiction of her love for God, through loving God's creation.

Then we have a similar figure in Pakistan, Abdul Sattar Eidhi, a saint of god. He used to say, 'My heart is not happy in the mosque, my heart tells me not to waste my time in Namaz. Go and pick up those newborn babies who were given birth and then thrown in the bins.’ and he would shelter them and give them a home. Is this not a very strong expression of God's love?

A lot of people are unable to recognise love through expressions. Love is an abstract art, isn't it? You don't understand abstract art, similarly, you don't understand love. 🎨 A lot of people are naive to love and every single soul here in this world has crafted an image of love. ‘If you do this then I will understand this as love.’ they have concocted a very personal expression of love.

Can you always recognise hatred? You only recognise hatred when somebody is shouting, showing anger. 🔊 What if someone is holding grudge and animosity in their hearts and on contrary to what they have in their heart their lips are talking sweet words - how will you recognise hatred? This is where you go wrong. You can only see the sweet words, not the poison behind the words.

But let me tell you, you can always recognise love! Even if love is very discrete. Impression-less, you can still recognise love. Love is so noticeable. There is a proverb in Urdu, ‘Love and fragrance cannot be concealed'. If you are wearing perfume, I cannot see it but I can smell it. Similarly, love is like fragrance. Hatred can be very discrete. You cannot tell if somebody hates you. They can put a fake mask on their behaviour, they can act like they are very close to you. But love is very powerful. You cannot conceal it forever. A time comes when you are like, ‘Hands up' and love is everywhere!❤️
