I haven’t achieved this, but i have read that the flaws we see in others are actually inside ourselves.
Although I can’t completely embrace that concept either, I feel that it is true, so it helps nudge me in the right direction.
We are “children” (or subsets) of the All that is of Allah/God. Praying and “listening” in silence to Allah is always a good thing. With true and full body listening, the “wisdom” of Allah flows.
Such wisdom is a blessing to all.
Dearest Ananda / Love-Bliss,
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful enquiry with us, and thank you to everyone that shared their own personal insights and pointers. They’re all music to the ears and food for the heart.
I find prayer the simplest and most effective way to anchor myself in that space of Universal (Unconditioned) Love. The prayer (life mantra) I constantly recite is simply: “Thank You. I Love You.”

Beautiful 
Thank you, I love you
And so it is!
Dear Ananda - I think you misunderstood me. I thought you were asking for a practical way to love others as you love God - not just lofty ideas. Practically, we have to act. We act in kindness, with love. Then we are loving everyone like we love God. We have to act towards a person as if the person is God. And I’m saying, sometimes we succeed in doing that and sometimes we don’t.

I think Ether said it so succinctly, find how everything seen in others is a reflection of what is within ourselves (at least to some degree). With true understanding comes compassion, which is an openness of the heart that allows a natural flow of love without intensity or condition.
but your notions , your opinions about people, everything you have in mind to the side. that is an internal way of bowing down. soon you will be bowing down to the trees, to the scenary; putting what you think about it to the side. thats devotion-being devoid of yourself
I had a vision of my satguru a few days back… In it he asked me what is true bathing (Religious washing in islam…)
I answered; The letting go of my thoughts and understandings. To which he said; well done well done
Thank you for everyone who contributed to this subject Salam
Beloved Ananda,
May the grace of your Satguru continue to shower your consciousness with Love-Bliss!
Eckhart Tolle (and probably many others) writes “words are signposts”. I’ve also often seen them referred to as ‘pointers’.
It’s NEVER about the word/thought/idea/concept! It’s only ever about That (which can’t be thought/spoken)!
But what words can do is ‘serve’ as a constant reminder. The Bhakti reabsorbs the ego with Love, whereas the Gnani destroys it with Wisdom. But both simply lead to That.
For the Gnani “I” points to ego. For the Bhakti you/me/we/us/I points to the Supreme (there is no differentiation between the labels).
Thank You. I Love You.
The love is the riped fruit of surrender of individual identity… that means when a person gets totally devoted to either God or Guru is then the love emerges. It is said that culmination of Bhava Bhakti and culmination of Bhakti is Love or PREM. When this state is achieved you will love every one. Till them you have to just practice to love others.
To make this practice effective and progressive - you need to have some rationale to make your mind accept. If you believe that entire creation is due to God and everything is made of God them each of us are some form of God. So, if you prejudice with someone, you actually are prejudiced with God. But you don’t want to be prejudiced with God. Thus, love everyone.
There is yet another technique to develop love towards everyone is to believe that every living entity in the universe behaves according to their destiny or PRARABDHA. It is the nature that makes everyone do karma, not the individual himself or herself. So, if they are not the doer why should have prejudice or hatred with them? They simply the means. If someone abuses you or beats you - it is the nature who is doing it not that person. You should not have any negative thoughts about that person. You should be angry on nature. Since Nature is God, you should be angry on God. With practice of this technique you can develop love towards others.
sorry for the late reply dear and many thks for your post. Your loving at the end is what makes this life most worth it… namaste
Thanks dear… A change or shift in perception has happened since I last wrote this post. I understand more what you said. Love is my religion. Allah is love. There is none but God in existence. He is existence. Salam
