Love Without Conditions
by Paul Ferrini
I lift the grasshopper from my kitchen sink to the yellow place mat on the kitchen table—a bent-legged companion to my breakfast books of which there are two categories: spiritual and worldly. Meal times are my only reading allowance for if otherwise free, I am writing.
My discovery has been that of the main books of Meher Baba there are three* that are my favorites for they are small, have applicable quotes for my day, and are in easily-read language. Alternating them, I study from cover-to-cover. While it’s easy to quote a spiritual truth, living it is the work. By this repetitive reading, I feel myself going deeper in understanding, which is required for changing my thought that creates my behavior. My three favorites have a newly-acquired Kindle companion* that, inspired by its first pages, I read straight through and am about to begin again. I briefly knew its author twenty years ago but had no idea he was a channel of a clear and beautiful flow of truth.
Of my worldly reading,* what I’ve discovered in the hundreds of books read is that there is minimally one seed of spiritual truth in each. Intuitively I see that no matter what the topic is, each author is empowered to cause a reader, when ready, to change his or her mind from a worldly view to a spiritual one.
My realization is, “I suspect a movement of origin in the universe to use every published writer as an instrument, playing a role in bringing peace among all to our planet.”
