The Divine Art of Making Friends

Friendship is the noblest human expression of God's desire to show his love to man.God showers affection on the baby through the father and mother; but friendship comes to us a free,impartial expression of his Love.

Two strangers meet,and by an instantaneous choice of their hearts they wish to help each other.Have you ever analysed how this happens?The spontaneous mutual desire to be friends comes directly from God's divine Law of attraction;cumulative mutual acts of friendship between two souls in past lives gradually creat a karmic bond that irresistably attracts them to each other in this life.

So long as it is uncontaminated by selfishness or attraction to the opposite sex, this impulse is pure.But often it is tainted.Friendship grows on the tree of our
innermost feelings.

"He finds peace who knows Me....as the Infinite Lord of Creation,and as the Good Friend of all creatures"
( Bhagavad Gita V:29)
