| Love is a spiritual experience – nothing to do with sexes and nothing to do with bodies, but something to do with the innermost being. | |
| Once you have reached to the center of your being, you will find love radiating from you. It is not something to be done by you. It will be just as if the sun has risen and the flowers have opened, and the air has become filled with their fragrance. | |
| I cannot tell you what love is, but I can tell you how to find your soul. That’s my whole work: to help you meditate, to help you become more aware, alert, so that slowly, slowly you start seeing that you are not just the body, that you are not just even the mind, that there is something else hidden behind it all, which is your real life. And once you become aware of your real life, your being, you will know that the joy of being is so overflowing that one wants to share it with someone who is receptive, someone who is available, with someone who is ready to open his heart. The meeting of two consciousnesses is love. | |
