Love is the merchandise, which all the world demands; if you store it in your heart, every soul will become your customer.

In reality the greatest miracle of Christ that any wise person can see is the miracle of Christ’s living heart; not wonder-working, but the living God presented to the world; it was the lighted faith which helped the darkness to vanish, not dogmas, or doctrines, or theories; all that came afterwards. He went to fishermen and said to them, ‘Come hither, I will make you fishers of humanity’. What does it mean? Does ‘fishers of humanity’ mean fishers of money? No, he meant by this: Let love be alive in your hearts, that the whole world may become your customers.

The first explanation of this is that there is no explanation, as Love is its own explanation. Also it is self-explanatory, and without this Love nothing conveyed to the mind will clarify it. At the same time the mind cannot be thoroughly efficient without it. Concentration cannot be accomplished without feeling, without power. When the concentration takes one into this Universal Ocean of Love, it is found to be the essence of the heart stream. Then everything and everybody will be attracted. This living evidence is the only clarification.
