A sacred truth imparted to me many years ago by my then principal teacher, my guru…Yogiraj Sat Gurunath Siddanath… among the many priceless gifts he bestowed upon me, this one remains etched in my heart:

"Anything not rooted in the soil of love, flowers not."

This simple yet profound message speaks to the very essence of life. Any thought, word, or action not anchored in love from its very inception cannot truly bloom. It cannot endure. It is destined to fail because it is not aligned with the most fundamental truth….the will of the universe, which is love.

Any intention, whether thought, word, or deed, that arises without love at its core, and without its companions….kindness and compassion….pulls us away from the truth. It steers us away from the heart of creation. And like all that is false, it will ultimately fade into nothingness.

For in the grand design of the universe, only love endures. It is the driving force of existence, and everything that is not rooted in love will ultimately perish, for it is not part of the eternal flow of creation. The universe is built to create love, and nothing else.
