LOVE AS THE BASIS OF NATIONHOOD
Love is the fulfilment of all the laws and the
laws promote upbuilding and development. Therefore, to build a nation, love
which is tantamount to the laws of creation must be made the basis and the
foundation for everything that is to be done! Now, how do we apply these laws?
We must first know them. Before we examine these laws, let us give some thought
to love. Love is to give of our self to another by voluntarily giving them
respect, consideration and understanding. If we do this the other person will
draw immense strength from it such that they can change for the better! This
type of love at the individual and national level will result in peace and
progressive upbuilding. Now to the laws which themselves bear love and justice:
-
The Law of Sowing and Reaping:
This Law stipulates that we will reap what we have sown unconditionally and in
multiples. As this Law manifests in nature it also applies to our words
thoughts and deeds. These are seeds which in the workings of Creation bring
back to us fruits of a similar kind.
I have experienced it many times
when I put on a smile and use kind words on reaching police check points that
the policemen simply were nice in return. Even the harshest of civil servants
have cooperated with me when I speak to them in love. I then get responses such
as: “because of the way you spoke, I will assist you”. In the same vein a
leader who expects the loyal following of his team needs to treat them with
love and he will obtain their loyalty. Rigidity or the regular use of threats
will result in forced obedience that can break down at any moment. Such a
leader seats on a keg of gunpowder!
A nation will therefore be able
to build itself by always acting with this law as basis so that peace and joy
can reign.
The Law of like Attracts like:
This Law maintains order in Creation. For the human spirit, there is an
inherent ability to attract things just as a magnet will attract metals. This
Law of Nature ensures that man will not attract all sorts of things to itself
in a wild confusion. To maintain strict order, this Law ensures that only what
is like the nature of the human spirit is attracted to it.
So, if as a nation we desire good
leaders, let us change and become good people. After all it is from us that the
leaders emerge. Through the operation of this law, we attract the leaders that
are just like us.
Do you want to have dedicated and
honest workers in your business? This law can help you! Start out by being a
dedicated person, pay yourself a salary and do not dip your hands into your
company account anyhow saying you are the company owner who can act anyhow.
Come to work on time and be disciplined. You will discover to your happiness
that those who will be attracted to your company will have the same attitude as
you.
In the next essay, which will be the concluding part, we
will consider the law of spiritual gravitation and have a conclusion.
