Love is the secret that overrides the mind You’d be surprised I’m keeping myself together. [Gururaj laughs] Keep yourself together through the power of love. And therefore the scriptures, all the scriptures say, «Love thy neighbor as yourself.» But I would add onto that, not only your neighbor. Here’s my neighbor, that’s my neighbor, this […]
LOVE
You love because you can't help it. And when you can't just help it then it comes to your consciousness that you are in love. And the consciousness then would not question the why and the wherefore. Because where is love? Wherefore, where is love and what is it for? Wherefore? It is just there. It exists and the more you try to love the less you get out of love. So love needs no trying. Love needs just being. You can never question why you love another. Because the very moment you would ask the question 'Why I love her?' - because she's got beautiful hair or a lovely nose, lovely ears and all the blah, blahs, - then love ceases and the cessation through questioning, loses the value of love.

One has to enhance this attraction if love […]

Love has to be worked out

They begin to understand the faults and frailties of each other, and in understanding them, they accept them. When one accepts the faults and frailties of the other, a beautiful friendship is born. That […]

Married life
The sexual urge is one of the strongest urges, and it has to be given vent. The experience gained in total surrender between husband and wife can lead you to total surrender to God. The human being has been given the necessary equipment right from the physical level to the highest level of the soul. […]

Learning to respond to thee
When we are unjust to another, we are being violent to that person. Being violent to the person, we are stealing the peace of that person. What greater theft can there be than stealing someone’s peace? To be able to really love, you must start knowing yourself. If you cannot know yourself, how can you […]

When the heart has opened
Attachment can exist in the form of sincere feeling. In this togetherness we are marching on the path of oneness. How can we be one in two separate bodies? It is only when the heart melts away completely. It is only through spiritual practices where the heart is totally open that you merge. When two […]

Sex and unfaithfulness
Now if a man is unfaithful to his wife, what makes him unfaithful? It is not the surging and urging powers of sex. No, that does not make him unfaithful. What makes him unfaithful is his search for something. When there is a lack of communication from heart to heart, not body to body, that […]
