Total Love...by Swami Venkatesananda
Love is the essence of yoga. If love is there, then whatever you do is yoga. If it is not there then whatever you do, it is not yoga. You can stand on your head for 6 hours a day and you will probably not have grey hairs, but that is not yoga; you are not a yogi. You can be a very religious person but still diabolical.The man who worship the deity in the temple may still  have no faith at all. You may do all these things but none of these things is yoga - until you have discovered the key to life. The key to life is love. This is the essence of  yoga.

This love is not what you and I have made it out to be - 'I love you'. In 'I love you' the 'I' is still there, and there fore I can stop loving you, I can hate you! Only when this 'I' is completely abolished and love alone prevails is it possible for that love to be natural, effortless, choiceless. You have no choice but to love because you
are love.
