1986 0308 Mother, let the love flow from my heart

“Write a loving letter to the ones whom you hate” Excerpt from a talk by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi Original talk: Excerpt with the help of Mamta Sedani. Thanks Mamta! _____________________________________ Now I get many letters saying, ‘Mataji, let the love flow from our hearts.’ Now how am I supposed to do that? First open your hearts. I will tell you how to open your hearts. Start with a small thing. Make a list of the people whom you love and whom you hate. Then write a loving letter to the ones whom you hate… (Yogis start laughing) very difficult thing! Extremely difficult! Write to them saying, ‘ I remember you a lot as you are great.’ It is ok even if they are not, nothing wrong in saying so! Then say,’ I will feel very nice if you send an answer to this letter.’ Try it out. It will work out because the Spirit has made you capable of that love. There should be no superficiality. He should not feel that ,’ Oh, today he has sent a good letter so tomorrow’s is going to be horrible. This first letter is an introduction to what will follow!’ So, you should send a heartfelt letter full of love. Send to those people whom you hate or feel bad about. But start with Sahaja yogis. Firstly, they should be Sahaja yogis. But you will be surprised that when you write for the first time, there will be at least one line expressing that anger of the past. So write one more, then a third and after a hundred letters, there will be at least one letter where this anger is not at all expressed. We should open our hearts to the person with whom we are angry. We should see, what he did, am I also doing? If you have done, then what is the need to be angry? If he has behaved like that then I won’t behave in the same way. In reality, you must love him.
