My old teacher, Gurunath, once said: Anything not rooted in the soil of love flowers not. I have carried that truth for decades. I have come to see that the universe itself is the flowering of love — not metaphorically, but literally — that love is the creative impulse behind every atom, every breath, every birth and death. It is the field through which all form arises and to which all returns. When we think, speak, or act without love at the root, the universe withholds its blessing. The thing may sprout — it may even grow for a time — but it will not flower. For what is not born of love cannot endure, because it is out of alignment with the very fabric of existence. To live wisely is not to cease acting or speaking, but to root every thought, every word, every deed in love from its inception. To pause before creation — whether that creation is a sentence, a decision, or a gesture — and ask quietly: “Is this arising from love?” If it is not, let it rest. Let it compost in silence until love reclaims it. For only what is planted in the soil of love will flower in eternity.

Do you know who you are, truly, beyond the walls and barriers you have built across this lifetime? Beneath the scars, the defenses, and the masks, there is something vast and immeasurable waiting. Let me tell you. Within you lives a love beyond your wildest imagining. To call it “ecstasy” is to point only faintly in its direction, for this love cannot be contained by a single word or sensation. It is not fleeting, not conditional, not fragile. It is a radiance so steady and unshakable that even the darkest grief, even the deepest loneliness, cannot erase it. That is who you are. That is who we all are. We come not from separate places, not from fractured beginnings, but from a single point of reference — a source of light that is Love itself. All our lives, all our struggles, all our searching are threads woven back toward that one origin. And when at last the noise subsides, when the restless voices of fear and doubt fall silent, there it waits: on the other side of silence. Nigel Lott teaandzen.org P.S. When I speak of Love, I don’t mean sentiment or preference. I’m pointing to the quiet, radiant presence at the heart of all things — the living intelligence that holds and moves through us, beyond grasping or control. It isn’t an emotion to chase, but a reality to remember. In the quiet between heartbeats a whisper calls you home, you are not broken you are becoming. These threads of silence and sound are letters from the threshold, offerings from the edge of stillness.

In this writing we explore the quiet power of surrender — not as defeat, but as a doorway to divine grace. True wisdom is not born of the intellect, but of the heart. When we yield to the present moment with humility, we come before love itself, before God, where the deepest questions of the soul are answered. In embracing the true wisdom of the heart, we offer no resistance to circumstance, surrendering fully with the utmost humility. In this surrender, we come before the ONE living truth, of a love beyond measure, where all questions are answered with the utmost grace, and without reservation. Nigel Lott teaandzen.org These words point to a profound spiritual truth: true wisdom is not born of the intellect, but of the heart. When we surrender to life’s circumstances without resistance, we allow the flow of absolute grace to enter our being. This act of surrender is not one of weakness, but of strength and trust. It is through humility….yielding to the present moment….that we encounter love in its purest form, the presence of our original nature, ONE with all that is. In the quiet of surrender, we find answers to the deepest questions of the soul. No longer bound by the need for control or certainty, we open ourselves to a wisdom far beyond the mind’s capacity. Here, in the embrace of grace, we discover that love itself holds the answers, guiding us with a gentle, unwavering certainty. To surrender is not to give up, but to give over…..to give over to the universal flow, to the intelligence of the heart. In this sacred act, all is revealed, and peace follows. In the stillness of the heart, we are never lost; we are always found. Nigel Lott. Meditation Sans Frontieres 501 (C) 3 Non Profit, Registered Charity Tax Ein 81-3411835.

We never truly fall in love. What we call falling in love is, in truth, a moment of remembrance — a return to the silence within where all love eternally abides. Love does not arrive; it is revealed. It has never left us, for it is the creative force of the universe — the living foundation of existence itself. Where in heaven or on earth could Love possibly go? The experience of “falling in love” arises when the heart’s defenses soften, when the barriers built through life’s trials momentarily dissolve, and the remembrance of our true nature returns. What we feel as passion or awakening is not new; it is the unveiling of what has always been. When we believe we have fallen out of love, what has truly occurred is not a loss of love, but a reassertion of forgetting — the return of fear, separation, and self-protection. Yet Love remains untouched beneath it all, steady as the silence that holds the stars. Sit quietly and remember someone or something you have loved deeply. Feel the warmth of that connection without reaching outward. Let it turn inward. Notice that what you feel arises from within you. Rest there. Allow the sensation of love to expand until it fills the space between you and the world. In that softening, see how love was never an object but the field in which all things are held. Each time you remember, the illusion of distance fades. Each time you forget, the silence patiently waits. To live from this remembrance is to see that there is no falling and no rising, only Love — constant, unchanging, beyond beginning and end. The path is simply one of remembering, again and again, until even forgetting dissolves into the great silence from which all Love flows.

It is the stillness within meeting the stillness without. In that space beyond time, all truth can be found, beyond even a whisper. It is only from within the realms of silence that the heart can speak. For in silence, all that is false falls away, and love becomes the only voice that remains. We spend our lives trying to name what cannot be named. The deeper the truth of the heart, the more impossible it becomes to shape into words. Love—pure, undivided, beyond the edges of self—cannot be spoken of without being diminished. Each word is a veil; each description a soft distortion. When we attempt to speak the language of love, we translate silence into sound, and something essential is always lost. Words, by nature, divide and define; love dissolves boundaries. In trying to give it voice, we pull it down from its natural element—silence—and into form, where it no longer belongs. This is why, even with the best intentions, expressing the heart’s truth often leaves a trace of conflict. We sense the distance between what we mean and what is heard, between what the heart knows and what the tongue can say. To bridge that distance, we must learn to rest again in silence. Not the silence of withholding, but the living silence from which love itself arises. In that quiet, there is no need to explain, no need to reach. There, connection is already complete. For the heart speaks not in words, but in presence. And in that presence, love is perfectly understood.

When you wish upon a star tonight… do so as a soul remembering its origin. These quiet moments beneath the night sky are not acts of reaching outward, but of turning inward, to the luminous source from which your being arose. The stars are not distant; they are mirrors, reminding you of the brilliance you carry within. Let your wish be less about asking and more about remembering — less a plea, more a gentle homecoming. As your gaze softens into the night, feel the vastness that has always held you. The same light that burns in those faraway constellations lives quietly in your heart.  Nigel Lott teaandzen.org Donate If anything you’ve read, heard, or felt here has opened your heart, brought comfort, or reminded you of what is sacred, please consider supporting this work by leaving tip.
