To be loving is to be religious. To be in real love with existence is to be in prayer. There is no need to go into the scriptures and no need to learn theology; no need to ponder over stupid nonsense called philosophy. There is no need. One has to love the flowers and the […]
Knowledge is easy and cheap. One can accumulate as much as one wants, one can it from others. But wisdom is costly, very precious. One has to pay for it with great effort, awareness, meditativeness. Nobody can give it to you and nobody can take it away from you, It is absolutely your individual effort […]
Love needs great courage. In fact, nothing needs more courage than love because the basic requirement of love is to die as an ego. Only when you dissolve your ego does love start flowing in you. The ego is the barrier and it needs guts to drop it. One clings, one thinks that one is […]
