Existence is pure love and society is always against pure love. Deep inside, society is actually against Existence or God. All its worship is mere hypocrisy. It hides behind worship. The best way not to follow anything deeply is to start worshipping it! Society escapes in the name of worship. When you worship, you don’t have to do anything else! And people will not trouble you because you are worshipping! But what happens to your inner space? No growth happens and it remains where it was.
Society will never approve of you if you were to let go and love every plant and animal with endless love. It will tell you that you are mad. It will approve only of Societal love; love that is governed by give and take; love that comes in with a reason.
But I tell you: Don’t give up. Keep on loving with all your heart. See Existence in everything. Feel the plants with tenderness in your heart. See the animals as if they were your own. See every human Being as a part of God. That is real worship. It is easy to worship God in the temple. The real worship is seeing everything as God; seeing your neighbor as God.
People never go to the root of anything; that is the problem. The root of God is love. The root of God lies in seeing Him in everything. People are afraid to go to the root and so they delude themselves in superficial layers. They don’t have the courage to explore beyond a certain point, in anything in life. That is why they don’t allow you also to explore. They tell you what they have found is the truth. They tell you that it is enough if you follow what they are saying.
Have the courage to go deep inside and love. You will start feeling the common thread of Existence in all that you see. You will understand that all that you see are illusory happenings held together by the real thread that is Existence. Automatically, you will start loving everything in the same way without any trouble because you will see only Existence in everyone and everything.
Of course, you have to allow this transformation to happen in you, only then it will happen. Any change in you is a shift in consciousness; it is not any switch. Love is the only thing that can make you feel that you are a part of Existence.
