(Vega, fourteenth-month old, with his younger brother Rosario)
(To their father): Now bring the new sannyasin here!
(To Vega): You can come and be a witness ... come here!
This is his name, Swami Prem Tosho. Prem means love. Tosho means contentment. Just teach two things to him: love and contentment -- contentment in himself and love for others. In fact only somebody who is deeply contented can be loving. Out of contentment love starts flowing: love is a sharing of your contentment.
Love is the only way to become a follower of Christ or of Buddha or of Lao Tzu or of any enlightned Master. They are all the same. Essentially their message is never different, it cannot be because the truth is one. Lies are many, thruth is one; hence religions must be based in some lies because there are so many religions. If truth is to be the foundation of anything then there can be only one thing. That's why there is only one science, because science is based in thruth, in objective truth. There is only one art because art is also based in subjectivity truth. But religions are many.
Mind has played a great trick on man. Priests have exploited humanity; they are the greatest enemies, the parasites. They have created so many religions to distract people; otherwise there is no need for Christians, Hindus, Mohammedans, Buddhists. Just a religious quality is enough, it need not have any adjective to it. The name of that quality is love.
Home is the hereandnow.
The guest is always ready to come in but the host is missing. Either he is somewhere else dreaming, desiring .... He is never at home, never herenow -- he is either in the past or in the future.
There are only two ways to get astray: into that which is already past and into that which has not yet come. Past and future are the only two ways
