Words from the Master

Yes… Any questions till now?

Swamiji, I want to be loving but I am unable to let go...

Yes…

To be totally loving, is a big challenge for the ego. To be totally loving, is to merge oneself with the Whole. This is great trouble for the ego. You are right now fragmented; you are not integrated. When you are fragmented, you simply play with your different fragments and escape, that’s all. To be loving means, you need to become integrated. You are scared to become integrated. When you become integrated, you grow as a whole.

But to become integrated, you need to die and be reborn. You are so used to being fragmented that you feel threatened when you have to integrate yourself. Your ego refuses to allow it to happen. When you become loving, you are melting your ego. Earlier your ego was hard; it was solid and you felt good. What will happen when your ego melts? You will feel like you are losing your whole identity.

If you just decide to let go at least once, you will feel such a tremendous freedom, such liberation inside yourself. You need courage to let go and become loving. As a first step, at least become aware of this deep inside; it will then automatically happen. Awareness is the key to open any lock.

Understand: When you start loving beyond names and forms, you are not losing anything, you are only losing what you are not - the illusion which you need to lose. What you have gained is reality. So just have faith and don’t fear when you find yourself merging with the Whole.

Never avoid the merger between the Whole and you. Just let go and watch the inner transformation happen in you. You will then realize how foolishly you were holding on to the ways of your ego; you will realize how much you missed because you were behind the mask of ego.

And understand that real love never calculates. The mind calculates while the heart doesn’t. It is time you moved from your mind to your heart. You have listened enough to your mind. Decide now and listen to your heart. You will then have no regrets. When you live with your heart, you will never regret anything in life because you will live with such completeness with it, with such totality.
