Chapter 3 - Defining the Face of Truth

      "I would even go as far as to say that his life remains to this day the most profound manifest of the Principle of Universal Love that we can imagine. It solves for me the paradox of the Rig-Veda in which this universal divine principle was already beginning to be recognized eons ago. But later it was trampled into the ground in the same Veda. I think the Principle of Universal Love is something that's absolutely profound, but it makes huge demand. 'Small' people that are not willing to meet those demands tend to trample this principles into the ground so that they do not have to meet the challenge of demonstrating it. This was the great tragedy in India's history, wasn't it, when the Vedic Dark Age began? But the Principle of Universal Love cannot really be defeated. We can only defeat ourselves by turning our back to it. The principle itself is forgiving. Historically it popped up everywhere wherever there was development going on towards a brighter civilization. The Principle of Universal Love is also foundational of the Principle of the Universal Marriage of Humanity, which is far reaching all by itself. It further comes to light with a link to your own cultural roots in the early Veda."

       Indira simply nodded. "I felt something like that when Fred told me about your discovery," she said. "That is why I became so overjoyed, especially when Fred told me about your discovery of the Principle of Universal Marriage, which is evidently built on this larger principle. I was overjoyed to hear about your commitment to it. And then Fred told me that you are coming to India to explore this dimension more fully together with me. Can you imagine this? Little me! Wow! And really, this is why you are here, right?"

      "I wouldn't be here otherwise," I replied and embraced her once more in the brightness of the morning sun. "I think the divine Principle of Universal Love, that you have recognized behind all of this, is the most profound principle in the universe," I added. "I love the way the Apostle John has put it, though in different words."

      Without really knowing why, I kissed her once more before I could finish what I wanted to say. The kiss appeared to say more.

      "The Apostle John said that God is love," I said to her later. "John said that he who dwells in love dwells in God, and God in him. Was he suggesting that the two are inseparable and are the foundation for civilization? It appears that he was. Isn't it natural then that a greeting should include a kiss?"

      She answered with a kiss.

      I told her that I felt a kiss manifests more fully the substance of John's words. "I think a kiss is something enormously profound, because love is profound," I said to her.

     "Love is our most precious light," she said. "If we loose it, the darkness is unimaginable."

     "India's long tragic history is proof of that," I said to her. "India's history is prove that if we loose just a little of our universal love our world falls into chaos. Mankind's very existence is lodged in the light of love. If that light goes out, as it often does, the human society or nation of world regress into an kind of inhuman backwardness that only an immense struggle can get it back out of. India's history is a striking example of that tragedy, isn't it?"
