Love and It's Power.
Love and It's Power
A mighty King was marching home after being victorious in a gruesome battle.
He had captured the crown prince of the neighbouring kingdom and killed the King.
The King was crossing through a jungle. He wanted to rest.
The army halted there for the evening. Nearby was a hermitage. The king decided to pay his respects to the sage there.
He sent his Minister and some soldiers to seek an audience.
They told the disciples there, "Maharaj wants to meet the sage." The disciples said, "Guruji has retired for the day, you can come tomorrow."
The next morning the King came to the hermitage dressed in his royal finery, accompanied by his ministers and attendants.
The sage was sitting under a tree and scattering bajra seeds all around.
Hundreds of birds of different kinds were eating and the sound of their twittering filled the air.
The King walked up to the sage. The sage did not look up. The king said, "Pranam, Guruji!" No answer.
He spoke louder, "Pranam, Guruji!" Still, no answer."
Guruji, I said Pranam!" he said in an angry voice.The sage looked up and said, "Stop shouting, you are scaring the birds."
That made the king even more furious. "Do you know who I am?" he shouted.
The sage said calmly, "Yes, I do. You are the one who kills for the love of power.
You are the one who knows not that this power is temporary. One day another King shall kill you in the same way.
The love of power shall bring about your downfall."
The king was beside himself with rage. He said, "Your impertinence is intolerable. I shall behead you just now!
" He drew out his sword and raised it to strike the sage.
In an instant, hundreds of
birds flew up and attacked the king. They poked their beaks into his
face, his eyes and his arms and all over.
The king moved his arms up and around to ward off the birds. But the birds wouldn't leave him.
The
sage said, "Leave him! Leave him! Come to me my dears!" All at once,
the birds quietened down and sat meekly at the feet of the sage.
The sage said, "All I ever gave these birds is love. Oh King! Realize the power of love.
The love of power has blinded you and brought you to the level of a killer.
These birds would have killed you, but that's because they love me.
I rule over them like a king
too, but the only power I ever exercise over them is the power of love
and it is greatest power on this Earth."
It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived!

Awesome. Also, there's a principle in Thelema about will and love which changed my life. It was present in Book of The Law:
"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. Love is the law, love under will.
Also, love should not be given to people who do not deserve it or do not give it back. It should always be a two-way road, as love is a powerful feeling and source of spiritual power.
