Perfect Love
Perfect love
is being in the moment at every moment.
Perfect love is being in meditation.
Animals are naturally in meditation, animals are naturally in the
moment. Notice the love of a happy
puppy. The puppy stays at home waiting
for her master, all day she is waiting to see her master. She is waiting to be pet; she is waiting to
share her love and affections with her master when he comes home. She is waiting to bark in joy, she is waiting
to wag her tail in happiness, she is waiting to sit on her masters lap, she is
waiting to sleep next to her master, she is waiting to be taken for a walk, she
is waiting to be taken for a run, she is waiting to be taken outside to enjoy
the beautiful sun, she is waiting to be fed, she is waiting to be loved, she is
waiting to give love.
She is
always happy, no matter how long she waits, she is still full of happiness
waiting for her master, no matter how long she has waited when her master comes
home she is full of happiness, she is not thinking of the past or the future of
what the master has or has not done, she is incapable of doing so, she is
absolutely in the moment. When the
master arrives home after a long days work, she does not think to herself, “Who
did the master pet other than me?” “Who did the master allow to sit on his lap
other than me?” “Who has the master laughed and giggled with other than me?” “Who
has the master slept with other than me?”
“Who has the master taken out to dinner other than me?” “Who has the
master taken out for a walk other than me?”
She is
absolutely unconcerned with this trivia, she is presently aware in the moment,
as soon as the master walks through the door she is ready to share all her
affections with the master as the master is ready to share his affections with
her. She is smiling in absolute
happiness and the master is smiling in absolute happiness, they are both
absorbed in the moment. The puppy has no
mind, the puppy has no ego, the puppy cannot feel emotions of jealousy and
possessiveness.
Yes the
puppy may wish to protect her master when she actually sees that her master may
be in harms way but out of the sight of the puppy, the puppy cannot feel
jealousy or possessiveness. While the
master is at work, while the master is spending time with friends and family,
while the master is out and about, the puppy cannot feel jealousy and
possessiveness, she is completely accepting of the master for whomever he
is. She completely respects the freedom
of the master. Her love and affection
for her master is completely unconditional, it is completely pure. Because her love for her master is free from
jealousy and possessiveness, because her love for her master allows for total
freedom, her love is completely pure and real.
This is the
real expression of love that nearly all humans are unable to express as
adults. This love comes natural as an
infant, as a baby, and as a child, but as the child grows to become an adult,
this love gets contaminated, it gets corrupted, it becomes ugly. It is becomes filled with jealousy,
possessiveness, anger, hatred, and death.
This “love” gets so polluted that it becomes the most ugly thing in the
world. What we call “love” is no longer
love, it is the opposite of love, it is obsession, it is control, it is
possessiveness, it is slavery. If we
learn to love like this puppy, our love will be forever enduring, it will be
stronger than any law, it will be stronger than any marriage.
Marriage is
unneeded for the love between humans and animals; marriage also is unneeded
between man and woman. Love is the ultimate,
love is God, love is Tao, nothing is above love, nothing is above God, nothing
is above Tao, God and Tao cannot be expressed in words, love represents
something that cannot be put into words.
Therefore, marriage will never be able to represent love, marriage is a
disgrace towards love, love is beyond marriage.
