who take the first journey as it, waste their
lives
the real life begins the day you start the other
journey.
A really good beginning has taken place in your
consciousness
and I am filled with bliss to feel this.
26
Love.
On my return home from the tour
I looked for your letter.
It came together with the grapes
so the letter, already sweet, became still sweeter.
I am in bliss.
Your love enhances it yet more
and the love of all makes it infinite.
One body -- so much bliss!
What else can others do but envy he
who feels all bodies to be his!
May God make you envious of me,
may everybody envy me,
this is my prayer.
27
Love.
Your letter reached me
as I was sitting on that very same spot on the
grass!
What I was thinking then
I shall tell you only when we meet.
What a fragrance memories leave behind!
When life is filled with love
it is so blissful
Life's only paupers
are those without love in their hearts,
and how to describe the good fortune
of those whose hearts hold nothing but love!
In moments of such abundance
one encounters God.
Only love alone have I known as God.
28
Love.
I received your letter.
I am blissful to learn of your bliss
This for me IS bliss
With every breath
I pray for all to be filled with bliss.
This is my understanding of religion.
The religion that ends in temples, mosques,
churches,
is a dead religion.
A religion that fails to go beyond dead words and
doctrines
has no significance
An authentic and living religion
unites one with the whole
and leads one to the whole.
Religion is whatever unites you with the cosmos.
Whatever feelings
lead you towards this marvellous meeting and
merging
are prayers,
and all those prayers can be expressed in a single
word;
that word is love.
What does love want?
Love
