It is our duty to love. It is required of us because it is the fulfillment of our nature, the blossoming of our being. Like an apple tree must bear apples to fulfill its dharma, so love is our obligation of becoming.

Love requires us to forgive; it insists on putting others first; it tells us we will be happier giving than receiving, says worry is a waste of time and that we must trust Life. Love requires that we do what we know we should do, regardless of what we want or what others will think or say about it.

When we experience the fullness of the soul's joy, it naturally spills over into selfless service and love for all. We are full; free from needing recognition. Free from ego's demand for accomplishment or appreciation, we want only to love, to serve.
