What The Bible Says

I must admit, like most Yogis, I am not a religious person.

Yoga itself is not a religion, but rather, it's a way of life. It's a way of life that has been with us longer than any known religion.

Religions take many of their teachings from Yoga, even though, most may not be aware of this. There are many Yogis who study the Bible and other religious books, not because they are religious, but rather to help their students understand how the symbolism in such religious books were created. The Yogis help their students discover the Yogic way of life in such scriptures.

As I am not a student of the Bible or any other religious books, I cannot share with you in great detail much about what these religious books say about love, but there is one passage in the Bible that I would like to share with you.

The passage comes from 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 and is as follows:

Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous. Love is not proud and does not boast.

Love does not do things that are not nice. Love does not just think of itself. Love does not get angry. Love holds no wrong feelings in the heart.

Love is not glad when people do wrong things. But it is always glad when they do right.

Love forgives everything. Love is always trusting, and always hoping, and never gives up.

Love never ends.

It's interesting... when you read what the Bible says about love, you will see that the Bible mentions what love is, but puts most of the emphasis on what love isn't!

Understanding what love isn't is the Yogic way of life because when you eliminate all that isn't love from your life, then all that remains is love.

When you actually stop creating ideas of what love is, then you will obtain peace just like all of the great sages of yesterday and today.
