Does “being spiritual” mean you passively sit back and take no action in the face of those who are doing what appears “less than spiritual?” Not at all. One follows their heart no matter what path you are on. At times to do the loving thing means to take action, make a statement, right a perceived wrong. You can do these things with anger or with love, and therein lies the difference. “What would Love do?” Is an excellent question to ask, but first be sure to know the difference between a Love that knows no opposites and a love with conditions. The latter is quite human. The former is what nudges you to take action. If you can do so from a place of peace, ah, that is the challenge and very telling.
You are so very loved.
Thank you for this message, Suzanne and Sanaya!
You really hit home with that, as I struggle with anger in dealing with my family members, especially my mother.
It’s hard to be and see love where you hardly experienced it (as it seems from the human point of view).
But I’m committed to getting better and being better in living, seing and receiving love in all its different forms while acknowledging the purest form there is.
Thank you!

Perfect timing, I needed to hear that today. Thank You
Thank you Suzanne for these Daily Ways, this statement I’ve heard and read before…”what would love do?” So we are coming from fear or somewhere in between when we place conditions on an outcome, so to favour us? So not to alter our comfort zones? It serves our ego?
And coming from love equates to running with the crowd? Not rocking the boat? Being nice? I see people getting trapped in the notion that giving so much of themselves is loving – and then making themselves ill to escape. This is all fear too.
What would the question “what would love do?” feel or sound like if you’re being ridiculed for sharing what you ‘know’? Is not sharing (without being asked or given permission) also an act of love, as the subject may need to experience this for their growth?
So many variables to that answer I’m sure. Every situation beckons a different reaction.
Thanks!
Suzanne, I was reading a couple of Daily Way posts I missed and just read this one: What Love Would Do? For the past month I’ve been saying this phrase! It came to me in meditation weeks ago. Thanks Sanaya! Thanks Suzanne.
