.... It’s
just Him! In the Gita, Krishna said: Everything is me. In the Bible, Christ said: Give what belongs to Caesar, to Caesar. And what
belongs to God, to God. But what belongs to God? It is your
spirit. It is your true Self. Make your prayer like this, “Lord, do whatever you want with
me, whenever you want with me, and however you want with me”. And in your mind don´t ask any
questions. This is a poison, because the mind always doubts. The mind
always thinks it knows best. And when you surrender this mind
to the Divine, bhakti will arise, devotion will arise. And when
devotion arises, the purity of Love will also arise together with it.
It´s not a love where we just say “I love you, I love you”. It´s a
Love where when we say “I love you”, there is no condition in it. It
is not “I love you because of something. I love you because of your body.
I love you because of your wealth. I love you because you are
beautiful outside and if I pull the skin from your body, I don´t love you
anymore”. But it’s because when you say “I love you” you love Him
the way He is. And that´s the purity of Love,
the Unconditional Love, the way God loves, the way your heart knows
how to love. That´s why you do feel Love, but the moment you
start to put conditions to that Love, it fades. But when you stick to
this purity of Love, and make this Love grow, it will grow. Because
Love is like a seed, which is inside the heart of man: the seed has to
grow, has to blossom, also. It has to germinate and grow big; the
seed can´t just stay like that. That´s what Christ said, also. There are
so many similarities between Hinduism and Christianity. Christ
said: If you plant a seed on a stone, it will never grow. But if you plant it in the heart
of man it shall grow.” And this is the Love in the heart of man, when
real Love is felt, when real Love starts to grow. It grows in six
different stages, which are called: Sneha Prem, Pranaya Prem, Mana
Prem, Raga Prem, Anuraga Prem, and Maha Bhav. These stages of Love - of course,
I will now not go to detail about it - grow when
this purity is there, which leads you to complete surrender to the
Divine. But first, what is in regard to normal life, is to calm the mind
and let Love itself start to grow inside of the heart. Only through
this Love will you know who you are. And this is not up to me to
tell you, it’s up to you to make the first step.
