Adyashanti - Working from Love

adyashanti.org - Adyashanti discusses the profound switch from working “towards love” to working “from love.” With love as the starting point, you have already arrived where you’ve been longing to go. Letting go of the struggle with life to be any particular way, you allow yourself to open up to the abundance of possibilities around you. With love as the foundation and the basis of all your actions, this love inevitably flows through you and spills out into all that you do in life.

Quotes from this video:
“What if love was the precondition? What if that was the condition? That’s where you started from.”
“We always think that we have to work towards love. Liberation is when you don’t have to work towards anything; you work from it, not towards it. It’s just there. It’s the ground you’re walking on.”
“Just holding things as possible can be quite profound. It’s possible that on any given day, at any moment, the whole battle with life can cease. It’s possible because it happens.”

And then don't be surprised when you approach something with love and the little shimmer of fear that might accompany it in your approach blows up in your face when it meets its daddy.
Love and fear neutralize each other, but choose your battles wisely, so to speak. Which is impossible with love, since it doesn't choose battles.
One of my teacher once said, it is always better to have one's heart open and hurting than to have it closed. True and maybe providing further encouragement for doing so, but one can also acknowledge the reasons why hearts close in the first place, and that defines whether a teaching is based on love or fear, in connecting to others and treating them as if they were you or expecting everybody else to be isolatedly strong like you.
Receiving help when you are weak, in acceptance of the weakness, is creating strength, since it is an experience of unconditional love. Those who withhold help because they believe it further encourages the weakness (regardless of the recipient's openness) feed the weakness with energy, through their own judging of it and through withholding love.
That, too, is of course understandable. The greater an effort you make to better yourself, the more difficult it can become to maintain it in a parasitic environment. Thus people close their heart in reaction to overwhelming tasks.
