The essence of amorality is the systematic elimination of the dimension of love, the systematic elimination of its acceptance and its communication, the elimination of your own love in relationship, and the refusal to accept the love of another. Because of their self-doubt, people do not believe they are loved. They are possessed by fear, and (therefore) they will not love. Out of this failure to love comes the usual life. Egos have trouble with love. If I were to summarize the problem of egoity altogether, I would Say that it is the betrayal of love. The betrayal of love is egoity. As you well know, I do not speak of the ego as an entity. It is an action, or contraction, that is universally effective in every dimension of life, but it is most directly, most fundamentally effective at the level of feeling, or emotion, or love. The ego is a problem about love. The ego cannot love. It cannot accept love and it cannot do love, cannot confess love, cannot be known to be in the world of love or allow itself to be known to exist in the world of sensation, action, desire, and pleasure. The ego-transcending point of view actively acknowledges the principle of love. The individual who is functioning in an ego-transcending fashion presumes himself or herself to live in a world of love. In the world of relations, that one is alive in the Domain of Love. Love is the principle of functioning. It is the principle of relationship. Love is what is to be realized and expressed. You must overcome all limits upon it. Spiritual life is many things, but at the level of human relations, its essence is love. The Avatar, Adi Da Samraj, Spoken in 1983 © 2015 ASA
