You might have experienced: When you do anything intensely, you will forget yourself. You might have experienced this many times in your lives. It can be anything that you do. It can be as simple as coloring or painting or reading….or anything. When you go deep into it, you forget yourself. When you have an intense headache, just try doing something interesting very deeply; your headache will go away.
You see: Because you are continuously aware of your head, your headache continues to bother you. The moment you go deep into something else and lose awareness of your head, your headache will simply disappear. Only when you remember your head, you can have a headache. When you go deeply into any emotion, only that emotion remains and you cease to exist. This is what we mean by ‘totality’.
This moment of ‘you’ disappearing, you may experience for a just a few seconds. But if you work on being intense and total in everything, this experience of ‘you’ disappearing will happen more often to you and for longer periods also. Soon, you will master the art of doing work intensely, and just being absent! You can then turn off and on at your will. You become independent of the work that goes on outside.
In the same way, when you are brimming with love, you don’t feel yourself, you feel only love; you become love. When you become love, you automatically exude compassion towards everyone and everything around you. You take up a lot more responsibility around you. This responsibility is not out of ego of serving people, but out of the overflowing Energy in you.
