Such simple lyrics from one of the most popular songs in history. And yet most
people just sing along, while never even hearing just what the words are saying. This
short phrase from this beautiful song is referring to the two paths, the two choices, the
Two Ways in which we can live our lives--the ways of Love and Fear.
There are two paths which we can choose at every single moment of our
lives--the path of Love and the path of Fear. And that is it. There is nothing else to
choose from. There are only two ways to classify the way each and every one of us
choose to live--living in Love or living in Fear. Absolutely everything we do in our lives
at any given moment can be classified by two descriptions--acting out of Love or acting
out of Fear.
Throughout all our lives, at any given time whatsoever, in any situation, the way
we react to the situation, the way we live our lives can be narrowed down to only two
possible choices which we can choose from--Love or Fear. It has always been this way
and always shall be this way. Life is a constant choice between the two paths of Love
and Fear. The road of Love is narrow and difficult, the road of Fear is wide and easy.
For the religious minded, remember that Christ spoke of this in the gospels? Here, in
Matthew 7:13-14.
"You can enter God's Kingdom only through the narrow gate (Love). The
way that leads to destruction (Fear) is broad, and its gate is wide for the
many who choose the easy way (Fear). But the gateway to life (Love) is
small, and the road is narrow, and only a few ever find it."
Yes, Jesus knew about this Love/Fear stuff in detail. (gee, which path do you
think he chose?) Hopefully, with a description of this subject, the reader can also come
to know what Jesus knew, what Apollonius knew, what Buddha knew, and what all the
saints and sages and holy people of all time also knew--that there is naught but Two
Ways to choose from--the way of Love, and the way of Fear. Let it be known right here
and now--the path of Love is the only Way to Spiritual Perfection, to Divine
Illumination.
