There is no living being without the spark of love; even a mad man loves something or somebody intensely. You must recognize this love as but a reflection of the Lord. That is your reality, recognize Him as the Lord residing in your heart. Without that spring of Love that bubbles in your heart, you will not be prompted to love at all. Recognize that spring, rely on it more and more, develop its possibilities, try to irrigate the whole word with it. Discard all touch of self from it. Do not seek anything in return for it, from those to whom you extend it.
