Биография: |
I have heard about a lawyer who was a very calculating man.Every night he would go to bed, look at the sky and say, Ditto.Just like the other days, and go to sleep.Whether you say ditto or you repeat the whole thing, it is the same.And soon, if it is heartful, you will feel that not only are you talking but the response is there.Then prayer has come into its own, come of age.You not only speak, you listen.And I tell you the whole existence is ready to respond.Once your heart is open the whole responds.There is nothing like prayer.No love can be as beautiful as prayer.But then there is the fourth stage, which I call meditation.There, dialogue also ceases.Then you have a dialogue in silence.Words drop, because when the heart is really full you cannot speak.When the heart is too overflowing only silence can be the medium.Then there is no other. You are one with the universe.You neither say anything nor listen to anything.You are with the one, with the universe, with the whole.These are the four stages of love, and on each stage there will be a disappearance of fear.The body will not be neurotic.Not fulfilled, not at home.If love happens, fear will disappear from the mind.No fear will come, no nightmares.And when you meditate, even fearlessness disappears.Fear disappears, fearlessness disappears.Or, only the nothing remains.A vast purity, virginity, innocence.One is not in love, one is love.The source is that one is love.And who can be love?Certainly, if you are not aware of who you are, you cannot be love.Fear is just the opposite of love.Remember, hate is not the opposite of love, as people think.Hate is love standing upside down, it is not the opposite of love.The real opposite of love is fear.In love one expands, in fear one shrinks.In fear one becomes closed, in love one opens.In fear one doubts, in love one trusts.In fear one is left lonely.When one is not, how can one be lonely?Then these trees and the birds and the clouds and the sun and the stars are all within you.Love is when you have known your inner sky.And that is true religion.There is no higher religion than love.The real opposite oflove is fear.In love one expands,in fear one shrinks.In fear one becomesclosed, in love oneopens.In fear one doubts, inlove one trusts.Meditate, dance, sing, and go deeper and deeper into yourself.Listen to the birds more attentively.Look at the flowers with awe, wonder.Don’t become knowledgeable, don’t go on labeling things.Don’t be afraid, this existence is not your enemy.This existence mothers you, this existence is ready to support you in every possible way.Trust, and you will start feeling a new upsurge of energy in you.That energy is love.That energy wants to bless the whole existence, because in that energy one feels blessed.And when you feel blessed, what else can you do except bless the whole existence?Love is a deep desire to bless the whole existence.To meet a person at his center is to pass through a revolution, because if you want to meet a person at his center you will have to allow that person to reach to your center also.You will have to become vulnerable, absolutely vulnerable, open.To allow somebody to reach your center is risky, dangerous, because you never know what that person will do to you.And once all your secrets are known, once your hiddenness has become unhidden, once you are exposed completely, what that other person will do you never know.That’s why we never open.With just an acquaintance, we think love has happened.Peripheries meet, and we think we have met.You are not your periphery.Really, the periphery is the boundary where you end, just the fencing around you.The periphery is the place where you end and the world begins.Even husbands and wives who have lived together for many years may be just acquaintances.They may not have known each other.And the more you live with someone the more you forget completely that the centers have remained unknown.So the first thing to be understood is, don’t take acquaintance as love.And a meeting of two bodies is not your meeting.You can allow somebody to enter to your center only when you are not afraid, when you are not fearful.You remain afraid, and the other cannot be allowed, cannot be allowed to penetrate you to your very core.To an extent you allow the other, but then the wall comes up and everything stops.Don’t think about what will happen out of it.Just be here and act totally.His whole life is lost in this | | |
