ALIGNING SURRENDER LEARNING WITH THE ATTRACTION TO ATMA NIVEDANAM FLOW
In the same way, the alignment of the above 2 flow of Love with Attraction to Atma Nivedanam is given below:-
Love for God, the changing of direction of one's love from world to God and Loving God in form, explained in the earlier posts, is when you start with attraction and proceed to adoration.
Whole souled love of God happens upon your single minded devotion for God and Devotion transforming to Love.
Love IS God, the stage where jiva, the nadhi, has merged in God, the ocean of love and only Love exists, neither Jiva nor God, is the state of Atma Nivedanam, Thoughtless state, Absolute Freedom, Supreme Bliss.
In the Loving God Without (in form, outside you),
Loving God Within and then the
Spontaneous existence as Love
is aligned with the 3 stages of
Attraction to single minded devotion,
Atma Nivedanam/Thoughtless state/Supreme bliss
and then,
Love all or world swimming in your state of LOVE is aligned with experiencing unity in creation.
It is only in this flow that you realize God first, as Love and then, like the cascade of moon beam explained, the world takes your love and gets blessed, without your even deliberating or knowing that you are showering LOVE or you are SERVING ALL.
Though, service to humanity has to be undertaken in all stages of your spiritual sadhana, the service that just happens, without your doing, is the supreme service.
When Ramana was asked by some one as to what possibly could the monks/ rishis meditating in the Tibetan mountains and the Himalaya serve the world, the sage replied " It is only due to the selfless love and compassion of those monks and rishis that the world is still surviving,inspite of so many wars, height of unrest and agitation in the minds of people!
Love.
