...So, in this reading of the Gospel you see the Crucifixion
of Jesus, but before the crucifixion, He had given many
commandments to His Disciples. Above all, the commandment that He gave to
the Disciples was to Love. How many times in this small piece
has He been talking about Love? Many times, not twice, but many,
many times He spoke about Love in it. And He also shows the
non-duality of the Self, of being One with the Father. Because we are
bound by the dualistic aspect of the body, we are limited. He
even said it “Whoever loves me, they are with me and I am with them
and they are with the Father and the Father is with them.” So, if
He is with the Father, the Father is also with them, so there is no
duality. That means that whoever loves, they are One with God. But this
word Love, very often we take it for granted. We are like little Judases, you know, who love God for
His gifts, who love God always for something. How many times do you
really love God for the sake of loving Him and not asking anything?
Always we ask God for something, but He is not bound by
anything. He is not saying not to ask. He says ask, yes, until really you
ask what it is you are here for. And why you are here is to Realise this
Love. And when you Realise this Love that you have inside, you
transcend everything and all becomes One. There is no duality that
separates you from the Father. All the practices that you are doing, your meditation,
your Kriya, all you are doing is for what? It’s to Realise your Self,
no? But many people think they are Realised and they become very
arrogant and they are the ones who judge everybody. They are the ones
who say “Oh, this is right; this is wrong.” He said it. It is
part of the Gospel. Jesus said: The Father is present everywhere, in
everything. It is not up to me to say it, but you will know about it. If
you just take this part of the Gospel and you meditate only on that,
you will have a whole truth in it – especially about Love. I always talk about love, love, love, always, you know.
It is true that the world doesn’t yet know about it. And yet, you are
working for that, all of you who are spiritual, all of you who are
searching for the truth. It is not outside, it is here inside of you, but you have to want to change. You have to really say “Yes, I want to change.” Like He said: Even if you want to change, the world will be against you. It’s perfectly true! Ask yourself in your life, in your own life itself, when you took the spiritual path, how many people became
against you–firstly in your own family? So, it is normal. The
more you advance towards the light, the others will be jealous,
because inside everybody wants that. Everybody wants to be with the Father. Everybody wants to
be close to the Divine, but, yet, they don’t want to make
any effort. They don’t want to make any change to their life. They
want to get everything happily and for free. So, if you want this
really and sincerely, then be sincere towards yourself and ask the
Father. Ask God and you will have it. It’s simple.
