I is there is a barrier;
In fact, the i-attitude is the one and only
barrier,
so sleeping, waking, sitting, walking --
always be aware of it;
see it,
recognize it
and remember it
wherever and whenever it comes,
for recognition spells its death.
It is not the truth
but just a dream,
and as soon as one becomes aware of dreaming
the dream vanishes.
Dreams cannot be renounced --
how can you give up that which is not?
To be aware of it is enough.
Ego is man's dream, his sleep,
so those who try to renounce it
fall into yet another illusion.
Their humility, their egolessness
are simply more dreams --
like dreaming you are waking whilst still dreaming.
Don't fall into this trap.
Just keep in mind one thing:
Wake up and see!
Regards to everyone there.

Love.
I am so happy to have got your letter.
Can even a ray of love ever come
without the fragrance of joy?
And what is joy but the fragrance of love
Yet the world is full of mad people
seeking happiness their whole lives --
but with their backs turned towards love!
The doors to God only open
when love turns into the prayer of our total being.
But perhaps HIS doors are already open,
yet eyes dosed to love
will, even so, never be able to see them.
And what is this you write? Momentary contact?
No! No! How can love's contact be so?
Love turns even a moment into eternity.
Where there is love
there is nothing momentary,
where there is love
there is eternity.
Is a drop just a drop?
No! No! It is the ocean!
The drop seen through eyes of love becomes the
ocean!

Love.
I have got your letter.
I know well how your soul thirsts;
soon it can be quenched --
you are right at the brink of the lake;
you only have to open your eyes,
and I can see that the lids are about to lift.
I shall be with you then,
always with
