birth
That you are no more the same
That you become discontinuous with your past.
A new being arrives.
Man is born only as an opportunity.
He has great potential
But remember
A potential is only a potential.
It has to be transformed into a reality
It has to be actualized.
And great effort is needed.
It is an uphill task.
One has to be industrious.
One cannot attain to bliss
By just hoping for it.
Just desiring it is not enough.
You have to put all your energies to the task.
And it is the greatest achievement of life
Hence it needs your total commitment.
Less than that won't do.
Love is the greatest, the suprememost religion.
It is the very essence of religion.
If one is loving then nothing else is needed
No church, no temple, no dogma
No creed, no scripture.
Love contains all.
Love itself becomes the greatest temple
And the greatest scripture.
My effort here is to help you
To become more and more loving.
I don't want you to be Christians
Or Hindus or Mohammedans.
All those ugly things have to be forgotten.
Humanity has suffered much
Through those ideas.
Love -- that is the message of Christ
And that is the message of Buddha
And that is the message
Of all the awakened ones.
The religion of love needs no priests.
And the religion of love needs nobody
To teach you what it is.
We all have an intrinsic feel for it.
Nobody teaches anybody what love is
In fact it cannot be taught
But everybody knows what love is.
Yet very few people make it their religion.
It remains just a fragment of their life.
Let it become the center of your life.
Your whole life should be coloured by it.
Then god is yours.
You need not go in search of him
He will come in search of you.
To me goodness, or virtue,
is not something moral
It has something to do with meditation
Not with morality.
It is a by-product
