.... I will ask you, now, “Who is God?” Well, it’s true, as long
as you have not known Him, you can’t answer. Love is God, but how
many Realise this Love? To which religion does God really
belong? Is God Christian? Is God Hindu? Is God Muslim? Is God
Buddhist? To which religion does He belong? Love… Wherever you go, you will see that there is only one
God and He is the Love in each one´s heart, but how to Realise this
Love? We are so busy with this material world that we forget about
the Divine Love. We try to look for this Love in the outside
world. We try to look for this Love in other people. We try to look for
this Love by travelling around the world, but we forget that we
have to travel not outside, we have not to try to find this Love in
other people, but we have to find this Love in our Selves. We have
to Realise the closeness to this Divine Love which is here, inside
our hearts. Some people will say that it is very difficult to reach
this point, but I say that it is very easy. You just need to want it! People try to find an easy way and if they could buy
Love, they would do it. But Love can’t be bought. Somebody might come and tell you “Listen, I will make you Realise this Divine
Love”, but only the Guru can do that. Only by the grace of the Master
can you do that. This Divine Love, which is seated deep inside your
heart, is like gold. And when gold is found in nature, it is with all
the dust. Both gold and diamonds in nature are full of
impurities. To get a beautiful jewel, a beautiful stone from a rough
diamond, what do you do? You polish it. The same with gold: to get pure
gold, you have to purify it, to remove all the impurities from
it. It is the same with man. As long as you are stuck in the mind and
don’t purify the mind, this Love will never shine. You will never
Realise this Love. Even if you think you know it, because you have
read about it or somebody has told you about it or Swami has said
it, but as long as you don’t purify your mind, as long as you don´t
purify yourself, it will be difficult to Realise this Love. And how is one to purify the mind? The easiest way to
purify the mind is to chant, to chant continuously the Name of
God. You were chanting the Mahamantra: Hare Ram Hare
Ram, Ram Ram Hare Hare, Hare Krishna Hare Krishna,
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare. It is said that just by chanting this mantra one can get liberation, but one has to chant it with faith. Mere chanting alone
will not help, but chanting with the heart will help. And how is
one to chant with the heart? How is one to train the mind to
calm itself? It is by forcing it. When you discipline yourself and say
“OK, today I will chant”, then you start by taking your japa mala or rosary and you chant your mantra so you are focusing yourself on it, you are dragging the mind and putting your focus on the mantra. The more you do it, the more you will see that,
with time, you will not even need the japa mala. You will not need any rosary, because the mantra will
automatically be chanted inside your heart. When you become the mantra, you reach a point of Realisation, you reach a point of elevation, but still it’s not the final
one. There is still more to go. And how do you to get there? It’s only when
you abandon yourself into the hands of God, when you say “Lord,
I surrender to You. I surrender myself - my body, my mind and
my soul - completely to You” [that you will get there] Don’t
do it superficially, but sincerely. And how do you do it sincerely? Be
sincere with yourself and say “Yes, God, I want You. I’m
surrendering myself to You”. When it’s comes sincerely from your heart,
it will happen.
