troduced Deepak Chopra to these
parts a while back.

He has devoted the last few
pages of his extraordinary book,
Ageless Body, Timeless Mind to
words of love.

Be enjoyed by the following
excerpts. ;

“Dwell upon what is most lov-
able about the person who is most
loving in your life today.”’

“Talk about love. Express your
feelings directly to someone you

love. If you cannot doit verbally,

write a letter or poem,

‘You don’t have to send it; the
exercise is for you, to stimulate
the state of love in every cell..."’

“In teaching manners and
respect, we often create a gap that
love is too sensitive and shy to .
cross. We inflict this sense of
separation on our children because
it was inflicted on us. ;

‘The story of almost everyone
is a story of love waiting to be.
coaxed out, of affection that has
to wait in silence because it is
afraid to emerge.

“So take it as your duty to give
permission to love. Encourage af-
fection by showing it yourself,
without regard for what-you may
get in return.

‘Real love gains complete
satisfaction simply by flowing out
what is loved.”” ..

Deepak points out that love that —

“has no ulterior motive is rare.
‘All the psychological theories
based on selfish love are con-
firmed by what we observe all
around us. :

“*But even the most demanding
and selfish love is love of a sort.
It is a drop taken from the ocean,
and if you encourage it, it can
swell to become the ocean.”

‘*There are infinite ways to
discover your true Being, but love
holds the brightest torch. If you
follow it, you will be guided
beyond the limits of age and
death, ~
