LOVE, LABOURING TO LIVE
What love can there be where there is no sympathy, where the cruel fiat of self-assertion lives out its hour in degenerate dominance? What life is so profane that cares not to look beyond self and read others through the empathy of the soul? Such is the trend of the times as culture plummets worldwide and man degenerates into the beast whence he had evolved to human terms.
'The selfish gene' but affects the body, the field of the terrestrial play of the soul, but the selfish soul itself directs the play across a vaster field of the mind that intersperses the cells and transcends them unto a cyclical calling that careers the being from life to life in a seemingly unending roll of the wheel of karma. Love here halts the wheel, holds the ruinous course of the soul in its reins and redirects it along the inward spiral unto freedom.
But the heart that bleeds is blessed with this love, not the heartless one that causes it to bleed. So is the persecuted delivered from tyranny, so is the tyrant held in the snares of Maya to suffer the consequences of his oppressive actions. Thus is the balance of good and evil achieved through the working of the inexorable law of karma.
