True missionaries of God's Love do not try to convert others by preaching doctrines and by using verbal tactics of persuasion and insinuation. Their way to bring others to find Faith in Love for themselves, is by their sheer presence. They inspire the wish to see beyond the superficial appearances of life in those who come into touch with them by their silent ways of conscious living in the awareness of God every day. They have a patient willingness to share in what they have found and to answer questions to those who ask. But they do not force their faith unto you nor do they condemn other belief-systems nor put their faith above all others. True missionaries are missionaries of Love. A Love which is seen and felt by those who are ready to detect it in their silent actions of conditionless kindness and patient compassion towards life in all its shapes and appearances.
There is a kind of love which unifies and unites and one that renders us poignantly - at times even painfully - aware of boundaries, limitations and our separateness. The mastership of true loving is to attain the awareness of the first and to henceforth exist in this state even whilst passing through personal experiences of the love that separates.
