  How to Love God

 

To love God in the most practical way is to love our fellow beings.  If we feel for others in the same way as we feel for our own dear ones, we love God.

 

     If, instead of seeing faults in others, we look within ourselves, we are loving God.

 

     If, instead of robbing others to help ourselves, we rob ourselves to help others, we are loving God.

 

     If we suffer in the sufferings of others and feel happy in the happiness of others, we are loving God.

 

     If, instead of worrying over our own misfortunes, we think ourselves more fortunate than many, many others, we are loving God.

   

If we endure our lot with patience and contentment,

accepting it as His Will, we are loving God.

 

     If we understand and feel that the greatest act of devotion and worship to God is not to hurt or harm any of His beings, we are loving God.
