tears of love,
and what to say about the calamity
of those whose hearts are filled instead with
thorns of hate?
Tears flowing in love
are offerings of flowers at the feet of God
and the eyes from which they flow are blessed with
divine vision.
Only eyes filled with love can see God.
Love is the only energy
that transcends the inertia of nature and takes one
to the shores of ultimate awareness.
I think that by the time this letter reaches you
you will already have left for Kashidham.
I don't know how your journey was
but I hope it passed in song and laughter.
Give my kind respects to everyone there.
I am waiting, for your promised letters.
36
Love.
I was very happy to meet you the other day.
I felt the stirrings of your heart and the longing
of your soul.
You have not yet flowered as you were born to: the
seed is ready to sprout and the soil is right you will
not have long to wait.
But now you have to work with great determination.
It is only a matter of starting the journey,
God's gravitational pull does the rest.
37
Love.
It is good that you are forgetting the past
it will open up an altogether new dimension of
life.
To live completely in the present is freedom.
The past does not exist apart from memory and nor
does the future apart from castles in the air.
What is, is always present, and if you start living
unreservedly in the present
you live in God.
once you are free of past and future the mind turns
empty and peaceful,
its waves die down
and what is left is limitless, endless.
This is the ocean of truth --
and may your river reach it!
P.S. I shall probably go to Ahmedabad in January,
can you come with me?
It would be good if we travelled together for a few
days.
38
Love.
I am glad to see such thirst for God!
To have this thirst is a divine blessing;
where there is thirst -- there the way
