Love Generates Love

The above quote comes from Peter Deunov (Петър Дънов), a Bulgarian philosopher and spiritual leader, who’s better known by his spiritual name, Beinsa Douno (Беинса Дуно). He was born July 11, 1864, and died December 27, 1944. His words and teachings are still quoted today, and he is so beloved by many people that they call him “The Master” and speak his name with reverence.

He founded a new-Age religious movement which practices prayer, meditation, breathing exercises, yoga of nutrition and paneurhythmy. The latter has been called “the divine cosmic rhythm” and is a form of meditative dance movement performed to sacred music. As people dance to concepts of giving, receiving, and renewal, they allow the Earth and Cosmos to do the same.

Love is all around us, and his vision was that Love gives birth to more love. Love between two people, as well as love you spread around you and give to other people, animals, and plants.

Since February is the month for celebrating love, we’d like to share some of Peter Deunov’s quotes and reflections on love and good karma.

If you love people, they will love you. There is no human who does not react positively to Love.

There is no creature in the world that, as you love, does not know you love it. Try experiments with animals and plants and check out this law. I’ve tried with some bad dogs. Choose a dog, love it. I pass by him a second time. When I pass, it will come out; it will come — it knows me; it does not bark at me. It says, “I know you.” Having loved other dogs, they are silent.

Tell someone a good word and do not think anymore. What he will do, whether he deserves the good word — you don’t need to worry about this. This person was not born to understand you. It is important that you understand God and can help others. This is the meaning and beauty of life.

Do not visit your friend’s house when you are ill or sick. Do not go to your friend when you are unhappy and mad. Stay in the forest, walk among the trees or around the lake and complain to them. When your mind is calm and your heart free, visit your friends, pay tribute and affection to them.

People are rough because they lost their inner light. In the evenings, the stones are cold. When there is inner light, people are soft, warm, gentle and loving. When we lose that light, we get cold and rough.

Never tell everything you know. Do not sell, do not give everything you have. Leave something for yourself. Don’t forget to love yourself.

A real friend is the one who, with his presence, can dry your tears; sorrows, sufferings and disturbances disappear.

One has to value both his time and others people’s time. The polite person is not only careful and patient; he not only listens to others but also does not waste anyone’s time.

Let’s finish the array of wonderful inspiring quotes with one about love.

This Valentine’s Day let’s Celebrate Love in all Forms! Expand your definition of love to include all of those special people in your lives and don’t forget YOURSELF!
