All love is expansion, all selfishness is contraction. Love is therefore the only law of life. He who loves lives, he who is selfish is dying. Therefore love for love’s sake, because it is the only law of life, just as you breathe to live. ~ Swami Vivekananda (Letters of Swami Vivekananda)

Thank you, Rupali, for the wonderful quote; anything Swamiji wrote is of great importance to me as I think of him as my guru. I wrote 4 parts biography of Swamiji in my blog.

Jesus put this in the two greatest commandments: Matthew 22:37-40 tells Jesus answer to a question posed to Him: “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?”
He replied: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”
❤️&🙏, c.a.
