“Love is our true essence. Love has no limitations of caste, religion, race, or nationality. We are all beads strung together on the same thread of love. To awaken this unity–and to spread to others the love that is our inherent nature–is the true goal of human life.”

Here, i will look at Amma’s quote and see her starting point.

My perspective:
Let’s look at the word love. It has been defined within liking or not liking – a polarity manifestation that is of the mind – something with no real existence therefore not real. Love is the polarity opposite of hate.
Essence is defined within an idea or experience – an idea based on an ideal – which is of the mind – with no real existence – therefore not real.
Nature is defined within the words essential (basic) qualities – which the personality gives meaning to within ones own understanding of that word (perceived separate from Life).
Goal is defined from a point of no achievement to a point of achievement – which is of the mind - as it is defined within time.
Commonsense:
Working for WHAT IS BEST for ALL in giving ALL equal chance to live in dignity where we can have heaven on earth is what life is about. The establishment of equal money for all, equal rights, equal power etc.– is real self -expression in the physical. Without this, self-realization cannot exist as self = all Life.
Self-honesty:
We are not separate from words. We are the LIVING WORDS – one and equal as SELF – AS LIFE.
I will put my shoes in Amma’s shoes and I will do self-forgiveness for perceived separation from the words he used in the quote – where instead of me being directed by the definition i gave the words as per the relationship i formed with them -i am directing the words here as self.
Self-forgiveness Statements:
Amma as Me:
I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to perceive myself separate from the word love as i identify as the personality – perceiving Life separate from me.
I forgive myself that i have defined the word love within the words liking and not liking as i identify as the personality - perceiving Life separate from me.
I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to perceive myself separate from the word nature as i identify as the personality - perceiving Life separate from me.
I forgive myself that i have defined the word nature within the words essential qualities as i identify as the personality - perceiving Life separate from me.
I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to perceive myself separate from the word essence as i identify as the personality - perceiving Life separate from me.
I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to define the word essence within the words idea/experience as i identify as the personality - perceiving Life separate from me.
I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to perceive myself separate from the word goal as i identify as the personality - perceiving Life separate from me.

The New Quote:
“Love as a feeling, has limitations as love cannot exist without hate. It exists in caste-ism, religious isms, racism etc. We are all beads strung together on the same thread of polarity design. To awaken and work for establishing equality for/as all Life – is our inherent nature and the true essence of life.” June Roca
