LOVE

LOVE
Love is always new. It never becomes old because it is non-accumulative, non-hoarding. It knows no past; it is always fresh, as fresh as the dewdrops. It lives moment to moment, it is atomic. It has no continuity, it knows no tradition. Each moment it dies and each moment it is born again. It is like breath: you breathe in, you breathe out; again you breathe in and you breathe out. You don’t hoard it inside.
If you hoard the breath you will die because it will become stale, it will become dead. It will lose that vitality, the quality of life. So is the case with love – it is breathing; each moment it renews itself. So whenever one gets stuck in love and stops breathing, life loses all significance.
Love is an expression of your being, not an emotion. Emotion is very fragile, very changing. One moment it seems that is all. Another moment you are simply empty.
So the first thing to do is to take love out of this crowd of overwhelming emotions. Love is not overwhelming.
On the contrary, love is a tremendous insight, clarity, sensitivity, awareness.
But that kind of love rarely exists, because very few people ever reach to their being.
There are people who love their cars.... That love is of the mind. And then you love your wife, your husband and your children – that love is of the heart. But because it needs change to remain alive, and you cannot allow it its changeability, it becomes stale. The same husband/wife  every day – it is such a boring experience. It dulls your sensitivity, it dulls every possibility of joy. You slowly start forgetting the language of laughter. Life becomes simply work without any joy. And one has to work because one has a wife and one has children.
You have to take your love out from the emotional grip where it has been since your birth, and you have to find a route to your being. Unless your love becomes part of your being, it is not much different from pain, suffering, sadness.

The Third eye


The Third eye


As we all know the two physical eyes are just sensory organs. Through which we see the world and perceive things as per our conditioning of our Minds. They feed the mind with all kinds of nonsense, because what you see is not the truth. The opening of the third eye means , you are aware of your Mind and its activities, thought/thinking as it happens. For me , the observer in you, which observes the thought as it arises in your mind is the ‘Third eye’. The opening of Third eye means that , you are  aware whats  going on your mind and can literally “see” what is going on your mind . People say that , if Shiva opens the Third eye the world is destroyed etc., What it means is that , if one is conscious and aware of one’s thought/thinking as it arises in the mind, it destroys the ignorance in you. That is the destruction of illusion. You are ‘Shiva’! Don’t believe that you are your Mind. This is delusion. Consciousness arises when you start watching the ‘Thinker in you’. When you start watching the thinker in you, all the chatter that goes on and on in your  Mind stops.


So when you listen to a thought, you are aware not only of the thought, but also of 
yourself as the witness of the thought. As you listen to the thought, you feel a conscious presence – your deeper self – behind or underneath the thought, as it were. The thought then loses its power over you and quickly subsides, because you no longer energizing the mind through identification with it. And this stillness of the Mind  is the beginning of the end of involuntary and compulsive thinking and the beginning of arising to your natural state of oneness with the universe.
