Love cannot be divided into divine and physical; it is only love - not that you love many or the one. That again is an absurd question to ask: “Do you love all?” You know, a flower that has perfume is not concerned who comes to smell it, or who turns [their] back upon it. So is love.
The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti.
Look! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice calling and opens the door, I will enter, and we two will enjoy a meal together.
-Jesus, Christian Scriptures

Love at the Door
When you wish to love someone love is reaching out through you
That very thought of love arises from Love - it is love
Your heart, your hands... your whole body is that reaching
Love being love seeks love - nothing else will satisfy it
Even as the sky is not yours such welcome is not yours
When you are received love is received
When you are denied love is denied
Not everyone is prepared to be warmed by the Fire - one is warmed then burned
Not everyone feels worthy to sit at the Table of Grace - everyone there sits at the head of the Table
Not everyone can tolerate the hug that has no body or arms
Keep knocking on doors - one will open
There are many ways to knock but only One doing the knocking
There are many who can open but only one door
Whether received or not the gift is not diminished - neither are you
A single drop from the Ocean returns, in time, to the Ocean
Hence, how can any love not always be the same love
To become united with that One you must know the pain of unrequited love
The pain of unrequited love leads you to seek and yield yourself to that you offer
Your thirst for the Living Waters draws you to the Living Waters
For the love you offer another is the love you yourself need - the Wind blowing in any direction is the Wind
Then, after a time as a lover, you realize what you have offered is no other than yourself
For the One cannot offer itself without your offering of self
And you cannot offer yourself without the One offering itself
There is one Lover and one loving
You are both the offering and the altar
You are the priest and you are the blessing
You are both the Sunlight and the Sun
And to say, "God is love" is to say you are love
How can you not be aflame with the Fire when joined with the Fire
How can you not offer that you offer when you burn so with it
How can you not live with open arms when the Light has flowered inside your heart
