"If we look for reasons to do things other than for ourselves, we would also look for excuses not to, especially in situations where a certain amount of sacrifice is required of us. Thus we actually create within ourselves, obstacles, limitations, difficulties and delays in our efforts to achieve a better life."

The truth is, when we do things for others selflessly, without having any reasons to do it and only because we have to do it and it"s the right thing to do, and without expecting anything in return, we create a totally new dimension in our own lives, an elevation and extension of the previous one, filled with a sense of love, peace, harmony, happiness, contentment and everlasting joy.  These feelings will come from within us, and will remain in us, regardless of any shortcomings in life. They are not dependant on other people or materialistic gains, which grant only superficial and/or short-lived gratification."

I had written this in an earlier post "Selflessly Devoted To You"; I had experienced this new dimension since becoming an alternative medicine practitioner back in the year 2000 but was never able to, or rather never attempted to crystallise the thoughts in words until I joined the street feeding programme with Reach Out some time in 2010.

Many things materialised when I started serving people the only way I know how..through healing. But the path leading to this had been painful and difficult - I was tested spiritually, mentally, emotionally, financially and physically. Yes, I have only myself to blame for having made many mistakes and bad decisions in my life, and thus had to bear the consequences from my actions. 

I had also been tested to the limit with vicious accusations, unkind rumours and betrayals. But praises only to Allah, He had plans for me. He had put me on a treadmill to strengthen and toughen me up. I was put in a "universal classroom" to learn the many, many lessons about life, about people, about feelings and about..the power of love.

The heart, or more accurately, the Qalb is the  keeper of our deepest emotions -
passion, mercy, kindness, love.

Many will brush aside the word "love" and expressions of it, deeming it whimsical, immature and unimportant. But love can take on many forms, and it is up to us to seek knowledge on the truth to find and experience true and lasting love. Powerful love that can move, change and create things. I love to express, learn, read, write, listen and talk about love. And I would do it unabashedly, shamelessly and endlessly. 

Love should elevate us to higher levels in all facets of our lives. If it keeps bringing you down, it is not worth the time nor the sacrifices.

Love should be constructive, not destructive. If it is destructive it is lust, it is a weakness in ourselves, hoping and depending on a mortal.

Love should be giving not receiving. The more you give, the more you receive.

Love is a powerful elixir that heals.
