LOVE MUST TRANSLATE INTO DEED ... 1

LOVE MUST TRANSLATE INTO DEED ... 1

Love must translate into deed. Otherwise, it is either pure emotion at its highest level or mere sentimentality amounting to nothing. On one side is the sublimity of love that knows but the faintest of expression in pulsating terms with hearts vibrating in rhythmic resonance. On the other side is base physicality that degrades the self, lowers culture and perpetuates ignorance of the higher spiritual aspect of life. Caught in between are a vast nass of people with hearts torn between earthly sustenance and heavenly aspiration. These middling souls are fraught with possibilities that are the sum and substance of social evolution. Here, ideals need expression in tangible terms, ideas need fulfilment in deeds born of them. It is here that work must be done to raise it to the next tier of organic evolution. Yes, indeed, deeds matter and love is the propelling fuel for such transformation of energy. Love must translate to action that conduces to welfare and in such welfare are hidden the seeds of future fruition of the human species even unto its higher end.
