Don't Pray for Love

After yoga, EM read, "Don't pray for love for then you remain loveless. Don't pray for wealth for then you remain poor. Don't pray for security for then you remain on shaky ground."

What is true for me is that if I can't find peace and spaciousness in the present moment, I won't find it in the next. If I long for my beloved, I remain alone. If I look for contentment in the spring during winter, on the mountain top while in the valley, in the light when it is dark, I cannot find contentment.

If I can't find God in myself (or kindness, joy, love, completeness) then there is no God.
