To love what is below the human is degradation; to love what is human for the sake of the human is mediocrity; to love the human for the sake of the Divine is enriching; to love the Divine for its own sake is sanctity.
They sin who tell us love can die; With life all other passions fly, All others are but vanity. Love is indestructible, Its holy flame forever burneth; From heaven it came, to heaven returneth. It soweth here with toil and care, But the harvest-time of love is there.
True love is that which ennobles the personality, fortifies the heart, and sanctifies the existence.
Love that has been given to you is too sacred a thing to be talked of to anyone ... except just to the person who is like part of you and who will feel it as you do.
Woman is sacred; the woman one loves is holy.
No love that a man has will only give him pleasure in return- he shall also suffer pain because of it, except for love of Allah.
Divine is Love and scorneth worldly pelf, And can be bought with nothing but with self.
Love is divine only and difficult always. If you think it is easy you are a fool. If you think it is natural you are blind. It is a learned application without reason or motive except that it is God.
Who falls for love of God, shall rise a star.
Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, And men below, and saints above: For love is heaven, and heaven is love.
Love, like truth, is the unassailable defense.
Love is life, love is god, love is sannyas!
We may not be able to give much but we can always give the joy that springs in a heart that is in LOVE WITH GOD.
Lovers have known sometimes what saints have not known.
From all the offspring of the earth and heaven love is the most precious.
When you love, love as if the person is a god, not less than that. Never love a woman as a woman and never love a man as a man.
Religion has done love a great service by making it a sin.
Love Is the Treasure The temple of love is not love itself; True love is the treasure, Not the walls about it. Do not admire the decoration, But involve yourself in the essence, The perfume that invades and touches you- The beginning and the end. Discovered, this replaces all else, The apparent and the unknowable. Time and space are slaves to this presence.
Carnal lust rules where there is no love of God.
The love of Christ is not a pretend love. It is not a greeting-card love. It is not the kind of love that is praised in popular music and movies.
Love is qualified as an attribute of that force, power or influence known as God. Thus as man makes application of love in his daily experience, he finds God a personal God.
Consecrated life means going to the very root of the love of Jesus Christ with an undivided heart and putting nothing ahead of this love.
God loves you just as much as He loves Jesus!
Christianity has done a great deal for love by making a sin of it.
Jacques Anatole Francois Thibault
An old body when it is loved becomes a sacred treasure; and sex itself must always, it seems to me, come to us as a sacrament and be so used or it is meaningless. The flesh is suffused by the spirit, and it is forgetting this in the act of love-making that creates cynicism and despair.
