The Spirit Of Love Poem by Dr. Madan Gandhi

The spirit of Love
is the crown of every evolved being
that manifests in a perfect and rounded life.
Love’s the supreme end upon this earth

Fie upon the man
whose life is not governed by Love.
A man's truth is love as a measure
and a heart that bleeds for others

Truth is beyond parochial dogmas
ineffable, beyond the intellect’s reach.
Only by practice it can be experienced
by an unselfish and a loving heart.

Truth resides not in learned treatises,
but in silent contemplation,
quiet tolerance and forgiveness,
all-embracing compassion.

Who is tranquil and calm under all trial,
sublimely patient and gentle
under the most severe circumstances,
he/she alone is the heroic seeker of Truth.
(Yayati)
