Universal Love

Beloved, let me not live longer without You; my eyes do yearn for Sight. My soul is thirsty for Your Word. O Master, do unite me at last with You.

Long a time I didn’t know where to find You, behind the clouds, in the silence of a forest did I seek You, and graciously was received then Your sign. Now I do know that You are in the all-embracing (Universal) Love.

But I am more unhappy than ever before since I do not find the key to love. O Love Personified, I surrender myself to You. Beloved Master, do teach me how to love.

You are Love and do I want to find you, I myself have to become Love. Thus, I take pains to get ready to be received by You. Let come down a ladder of Love to me, o Master and pull up my soul to You.

You say through Universal Love we might things realise. In the perfection everything is One with You. So do teach me to love You perfectly, oh Lord and to guide me back into the one mother’s lap.
