A Prerequisite to Charity
As a flower needs a seed, charity needs an urge, a place in the heart for love to be influential; where it directs all external actions that charity requires. Religion teaches about that place but can’t touch it. It aspires to be the urge but can only define it through its ideology. Its guidelines are drawn up by its consultants for its followers to follow in competition with other religions; each one with their own set of ideals. It cannot give the urge but can only talk about it in their own way.
Love is the urge that empowers one to be charitable and not religion, which can only teach one to be that way. Love has no intelligence, no guidelines, no divisions, and nothing to doubt its credibility. It is the source off all benevolent actions which religion preaches about but can’t be the feeling to act in that charitable way. Love is the consecration of all religion.
