Cupful of Nectar

The ants always swarm wherever there is sweetnesss...........The bees guard the honey that they collect in their hives..........Peace is the nectar of bhakti or devotion.............The bhakta or the spiritual aspirant after observing many years of spiritual discipline begins to slowly receive a glimpse of the nectar that flows from the pure love that he contains within and with which he adores His Sweet Lord..............O how blissful is that sudden taste of peace that fills him in just remembering his creator and in walking
the path in which His beloved Lord walks hand in hand with him........The bhakta is filled with the vision of His Lord.............The goodness of the Lord  fills his being and he himself strives day and night to be like His Beloved ..............


No one understands his love for God.............other than himself.................He realizes the impermanence of all other relationships............He wishes for them to turn toward the same friendship the he has found with God............But like the bee he guards the nectar of truth that he has collected in his heart and does not allow his peace to be touched by any other............Like the ant he swarms wherever the stories of truth are spoken............and he slowly devours the taste of the truth that has come into his hand. Carrying cupfuls of this nectar he carries it to his loved ones........begging them to taste what he has ingested and treasured................Those that refuse in their ignorance he weeps for them and asks the Divine Lord to pour the nectar of truth into their mouths................He rejoices for those that wish to taste and he prays to the beloved Lord for them to begin their journey.............that very instant!!

What is hardest for him is to be in love with God alone............How can he contain the joy of that? He is overflowing with love and he wishes for not a drop of that love for God to go wasted.............He prays from his heart
"O Sweet One
That fills my heart
With cupfuls of nectar Divine
To You O Blessed One I ask
Let the love that You have given to me
Always flow from my heart.........

And with each drop of love

That I taste for you

Let me be filled with the peace

That no matter what happens

You O Lord are there with me...........

And if your children

That seek You

Come to me

Let me be able

To fill their hearts

And give to them

A blessed life........

In which they rest

In God’s name

And God rests

As peace in them............
