Nicholas Acker Outside Reading #3: Yoga's Secret Love Song

Yoga is how we each experience divinity, and this reading says that everyone is meant to illuminate life in this way. When you reach divinity, love is all around you and if you listen for the divine love song you can hear it resonating in everything, everywhere, at every moment. Yogi listen for this and they celebrate hearing the song as “the most blessed gift of divinity to humankind.” Since there is nothing more precious than love, if you can hear and experience love in everything around you, then you can’t be in a more peaceful state. The catch, and ultimate message, is that the human heart has the choice to go towards divinity, or to stray away from it. “True love, by definition, is never forced.” When a person willingly and fully commits themselves to love, they can experience divinity. Each person chooses their path and is never forced to focus on love and reach for divinity. These concepts remind me of another question that arises often within the Christian faith. Why would God have created evil to tempt man? The only answer present is that He gave His followers the choice between good and evil, and this free will is one of the many blessings constituents praise.
