If you do things with willpower, you may get to do things, but at the end of the day you will have a long face. Instead of trying to do this with willpower, you do it with devotion, you do it with love. Not because you have to do, but because you really want to do
It is difficult to love someone who is next to you right now, it is easy to love someone who is dead or who is in heaven. Because if you have to love one, you have to give up something that is you, to accommodate another, otherwise it will not happen.
Love is not a relationship. Love is a certain sweetness of your emotion. Whether you look at a tree or a dog or a man or a woman or a child or just at the sky, why can't you look at it lovingly? Because it's not about loving the sky, it's about the sweetness of your emotion. If your emotions are sweet, whatever you look at, you will look at it lovingly
Love is not something that you do, it is something that you can become. If you're willing, you can become love, you can make your emotion into a very sweet space.
Love is not about somebody, Love is not an action. It is not something that you do, it is something that you can become
What's being right now passed around as love is generally a mutual benefit scheme -you give me this, I'll give you that; if you don't give me that I don't give you this
Most people are competent of using love to fulfill the domestic needs but to go beyond that they are not ready. When one is ready and another is not ready or one is making an effort and another doesn't have the effort, then it feels like somebody is becoming a doormat
One who is longing to use love as a way of ultimate union should not be bothered about being a doormat, this and that.
The longing to become one finds expression in many ways, when you are young & your intelligence is hijacked by hormones physical sex is the way, when you are middle aged where your intelligence is hijacked by emotions then love is the way, when you transcend all these then you seek union at a much higher lever, then we say it is Yoga
Never form an opinion on anyone. How they are in this moment is all that matters. How they are tomorrow, let us see. Tomorrow must be created, not concretized right now
Planting a tree is an enormous expression of love. You never know if you will enjoy its shade or fruits, but you know someone will
Let us create an absolutely selfish world. That means what I want for myself, I want for everyone in the world.
In nature, everything is living and giving itself to the maximum extent. Only human beings are trying to save - their joy, their love, their everything
Love is a longing to include someone as a part of yourself. It is a possibility to become more than what you are, by inclusion
My whole life is devoted to every human being, every creature on the planet. Devotion is just a deeper love affair.
When you become free from the meanness of the mind, an indiscriminate sense of love and inclusion arises
To know the profoundness of love, at least a part of you should fall. Otherwise, there is no room for anyone else.
When involvement becomes discriminatory, it becomes entanglement. Let your involvement become indiscriminate.
Using people and loving things. This is a complete misunderstanding of life. Things are for use. People are for love
People who have truly, immensely loved each other are the ones who will handle the loss of the loved one gracefully
It does not take any spiritual teaching to become loving, compassionate, and peaceful. It is just simple sense
It need not just be blood and tears that move history, it can also be human love, compassion, and intelligence
If you think one thing is sacred but you cannot stand the other, if you love the Creator but hate the creation, that is vulgarity
If your heart is full with love, there is no such thing as service, as it is a great privilege to do whatever is needed for all that you behold in your love.
Lust is a strong need, love is not a need. When you love, you settle down, nothing more is needed. You can just sit here for a lifetime. With lust you can't sit anywhere, you either get into some mad action, or you are bound to go crazy.
Your soul sings to mine. My soul is yours, and it always will be, in any world. No matter what happens. I need you to remember that I love you.
There is no such thing as conditional love or unconditional love. There is either love or no love. Either you know love in your life or you know a mutual benefit scheme
You do not have a duty towards anyone or anything. If you have love and care, you will do what is needed
