BENJAHMIN MANCHESTER, UK Behold... Love is!! Feel the world & The Heart Mind lives The Eyes 'see' the World... The Mind 'thinks' its World... The Heart 'feels' the World... The Heart ultimately IS the Self, the intuitive guide and when experiencing Naada Brahma (the World of Sound) through the Heart, our True Being is revealed naturally. Compassion IS our natural state and does not need to be cultivated. When we choose to 'feel' the World around us and 'BE' within our 'True Nature' of Sat Nam, then we are a living expression of compassion without effort. This unfolding of natural love can only come when the loyalty to the mind is abandoned and a courageous surrendering to the Heart is made. Love is Free... Free... Love must BE.
