All You Need is Love
by Jutta Ariane Mele-Maurer
“I love this. I love that. I love you.” Love underlies all life circumstances. Consciously or not, we search for it in every thought, word, and action. It appears in many forms: love between partners, relatives, and friends; love for animals, nature, art, work, and causes. It can lead to joy or suffering, peace or war; it can be temporary or everlasting. Yet all these forms have their root in one love: divine love. It is unconditional, beautiful, kind, changeless, and eternal. It is our essence, our home, our shelter; it is who we really are. The mahāvākyas (“great sayings”) of the Upanishads state exactly that: tat tvam asi (thou art That, that is you, you are that), ahaṁ brahmāsmi (I am Brahman, I am the absolute), prajñānam brahma (consciousness, intelligence, wisdom is Brahman), ayam ātmā brahma (this self is Brahman). Not only the ancient acharyas (scholars), but also poets and scientists pointed to this truth: Albert Einstein said, “Love is holding the universe together,” and Hafiz, in “With That Sweet Moon Language,” wrote of “this great pull in us to connect”.
