Consciousness

"We know the outer world of sensations and actions, but of our inner world of thoughts and feelings we know very little. The primary purpose of meditation is to become conscious of, and familiar with, our inner life. The ultimate purpose is to reach the source of life and consciousness. Incidentally, practice of meditation affects deeply our character. We are slaves to what we do not know, of what we know we are masters. Whatever vice or weakness in ourselves we discover and understand its causes and its workings, we overcome it by the very knowing, the unconscious dissolves when brought into the conscious. The dissolution of the unconscious releases energy, the mind feels adequate and becomes quiet."

You Are Love

Falling in love you remain a child; rising in love you mature. And by and by love becomes not a relationship, it becomes a state of your being. Then it is not that you love this and you don't love that, no --- you are simply love. whatsoever comes near you, you share with them. whatsoever is happening, you give your love to it. You touch the rock and you touch as if you are touching your beloved's body. you look at the tree and you look as if you are looking at your beloved's face. It becomes a state of being. Not that you are in love --- now you ARE love. This is rising, this not falling.
