you will feel such a release of energy in you, such a positive release, that you may not have ever experienced. The same energy that would have become anger, rage, hatred, now will be released, will bloom in you. It will vitalize you, it will rejuvenate you. It will make you more integrated.
And when you see any opportunity of love, jump into it, although the mind will always say, "Watch, wait, don't be in a hurry!" because the mind is very much afraid of love. Love is a sure death for the mind, hence the fear. With hate, mind survives -- not only survives, becomes more and more strong. With love mind dies. Love becomes the grave for the mind.
So don't listen to the mind. Jump headlong! Don't lose a single moment. Love as much as you can, as totally as you can, and slowly slowly this will become your path to God.
Anandram. Anand means bliss; Ram means God. Bliss is godly, bliss is divine. Misery is human. Misery is man's invention; misery is mind's work. Bliss is when mind ceases working. Bliss is when mind is no more. Bliss is natural; it is the very ground of our being. We are made of the stuff called bliss, and not only us but the whole existence.
Bliss is synonymous to God. We can drop the word "God," we can forget about it. It has many wrong associations. It has lived long with wrong people: in the churches, in the temples, with the priests and the popes. It has been in bad company; hence the word itself has lost its glory. But bliss we cannot drop because it is not a question of any philosophy, religion, doctrine.
Bliss is something absolutely essential. And U is not only man who is searching for it but everybody: the trees, the birds, the animals. The whole existence is moving towards it. Consciously, unconsciously, our whole movement is towards bliss.
Once this is understood the search becomes more deliberate, efforts become more efficient. Once you have a sense of direction you stop wasting your energy in going astray. Once you know the target you automatically stop wavering. Once the target is clearly seen you become an arrow and you start moving in a straight line.
Remember, bliss is God. That's the target;
