“Humanity is suffering from a lack of love. That is the basic problem of humanity. All other problems arise out of this basic problem. War, conflicts and poverty can disappear within minutes, because they are not the real problems.
The real problem is that love is missing. We have the technology to make the earth into a paradise, but we do not have the heart that can share and make the earth a paradise for everybody. Instead, science and technology are used to destroy. Seventy percent of every nation's income is wasted on war, violence and destructivity.
Humanity can become happy. The world if full of all that is needed to make humanity
happy. But inside man something is missing. The real heart is missing. Man has forgotten the language of love. Man lives through anger, violence, conflict, ignorance, jealousy, competition and war. These are the poisons of love.
A meditator has to drop all that goes against love. When the barriers to love are removed, love starts flowering, because love is our essential inner nature. The inner source of love is already within us. Once we find this
inner source, love becomes a golden light. it is a light that lights your path, it is a light that can light the path of many people and it is a light that can make you aware of God.
Love is the only light that can make you aware of the presence of God. It is love that can become the realization of God.”

“To say yes wholeheartedly is to be religious. It has nothing to do with a belief in a god. All that you need is wholehearted yes. All that you need is a total yes, so that not even a small fragment of no remains in the heart.
When you say a total yes, you become a light unto yourself. And this light starts to guide you on your path. Then no outer guide is needed.
When you say a total yes, you don't hold back. The total yes means to flow with life and to be available to life. The total yes means that non-resistance is all that is needed. We have to cooperate with life.
Our mind is very afraid of saying yes. The mind naturally resists saying yes. The mind lives through saying no. We have lived
with saying no for so many lives that we have forgotten the possibility of saying yes.
We have forgotten the possibility of saying yes to ourselves, to say to others and to say yes to all that is.”

“Man can either exist as an island isolated from existence, thinking himself separate
from existence, or man can live in harmony with existence. The first way is the way
of the ego. It is like trying to swim upstream in opposition to the stream of life. You may succeed for a while, but sooner or later you will become tired and exhausted.
The river is not fighting you. It is just your own idea of being separated that has created the whole problem. You tried to fight with life, and you got defeated.
The river is not responsible. If you had taken a different approach to life, if you had accepted to go with the river of life, there would have been no fight, no struggle, no frustration and no defeat. You would not have felt that existence was against you. You would not have felt that existence is your enemy.
Going with the river, floating with the river, you would have felt that the river was giving you strength. That is the way of the religious person. The first way, the way of the ego, is the way of the irreligious person. The second way, the way of the heart is to be in harmony with existence.
And the moment that you let go and merge with existence, God becomes your strength. Then there is great rejoicement in your heart. Then each moment becomes a joy without any fight, without any struggle. That is the joy of being religious.”

“Love and trust are different expressions of the same phenomenon.Love is the beginning of trust, and trust is the culmination of love. Then you can trust yourself, you can trust others and you can trust life.
Trust happens in the heart. When the heart begins to resonate in a deepharmony with the whole, there is a meeting. That meeting is trust, and that is not possible without love.
In the school of love, you learn the art of trust. Both love and trust have dissapeared from the world. Love exists no more. trust exists no more.
Love and trust are immensly beutiful. It is through love and trust that you will find the harmony with the whole.”

“Love is the quality of the heart. Love is really the only thing that is valuable. Things have prices, but they have no real value. Love has
no prize, but love has immense value. Love is the only experience that makes life meaningful. Love is the only experience that is not available in the marketplace.
Love is the only experience that is not of the world, and yet exists in the world. Love is the bridge between man and God. Only love can penetrate into the unknown.
Only people who know love know the richness, the joy, the poetry and the beauty of existence. Love is the source of all that is good, meaningful and beautiful.
Love opens the doors to the mysteries of life. Love opens the doors to the inner shrine of God.”
