God help this simple innocence grow!
Two thousand years ago someone asked Christ:
Who can enter the kingdom of heaven
Jesus pointed to a little child and said:
Those whose hearts are as innocent as a child's.
Looking at your picture today, I remembered this
story.
22
Love.
I have only just arrived here, the train was five
hours late.
You wanted me to write as soon as I got here so I
am doing so.
Throughout the journey I thought of you and of the
tears falling from your eyes.
Nothing in the world is more sacred than tears of
love and joy.
Such tears, so pure, are not of this world.
Though part of the body, they express something
which is not.
Whatever can I give you in return.
23
Love.
I looked for your letter as soon as I got here
yesterday.
Though it was Sunday, I kept waiting for it.
It came this evening -- how much you write in so
few words!
When the heart is full it pours into the words and
so few are needed.
An ocean of love can be contained in just a jug!
As for scriptures on love -- it is enough to know
the four letters of the word!
Do you know how many times I read through your
letters?
24
Love.
Your letter arrived this morning.
The garland you have weaved
from flowers of love
has a fragrance that I can catch!
And the love-vine you have sown
spreads through my heart!
The tears of your love and joy
bring light and strength to my eyes!
How blissful it all is!
25
Love.
I am in bliss.
It was good that you met me in Bombay,
my heart was overjoyed to see what is happening in
you.
This is how a person prepares
and moves along the stairway towards truth.
Life is a dual journey:
one journey is in time and space
the other is within oneself and truth.
The first ends in death
the second in deathlessness.
The second is the real journey because it takes you
somewhere.
