Words from the Master

You can talk for years and years about Existence or God, and still not have any experience of it. Of course, your ego will be nice and solid because you feel that you know so much about God! But if you look in, there will be no solid experience. And because you have no solid experience, you keep getting caught with words, because if you stop talking, there is nothing left; there is no experience to enjoy!

Start feeling love towards Existence and you will experience God in all the small things that happen to you. Because all of you are here, I am talking so much to you. If you were not here, I will be continuing to talk to this banyan tree and all the plants! Every leaf here talks to me. That is the language of real love!

For years together, people have been telling you that you are an advanced species of animals. Be very clear: Even animals are not animals. Each and every atom on this earth is Divine, a part of Existence. If you understand this clearly, you will be able to start feeling for everything around you.

Your body does not need love but your Being needs it. Love is an adventure where you go into dissolution. When you are not, Love is. We don’t have the courage to ‘not be’ and so we hold on; we pull back from unconditional love.

Those who are ready to take the adventure into dissolution, into experiencing the Whole, are the brave ones. The ordinary love that you know is like fighting within four walls. You fight with complete security. Real love is like fighting in the cold on the open streets. The courageous ones will fight on the streets and win. When you fight within four walls, you are secure, but your life is as good as dead. You are like a living corpse. When you are ready to fight on the streets, you are full of life and alive.

Again understand, you need not have any fear of fighting in the open, if you fight knowing that you are fighting under the compassionate eyes of Existence; you need not fear. Because, even if you fall, you fall into its very lap! But you have to have the courage to stand up and fight. That is the step that you take on your side. The rest, Existence will take care.

This will happen if you are just…a little more than curious - to know the Truth. Mere curiosity is not enough. If you are just curious, you will come, flirt and get away. If you are more than curious, if there is a burning desire in you that surfaces at least once in a while, you can start knowing and experiencing the Truth. If you are merely curious, there will be no devotion or dedication. If there is a fire, there will be devotion and dedication. Dedication is what brings you here, again and again.

Try as you might to run away from me, you can’t! You might stay away from me for a few days, but the burning desire inside will draw you to me again and again. To discover true love, you have to have this intensity within you.
