heart has love, because the heart cannot exist without it. It is the very pulse of life
Nobody can be without love; that is impossible. It is a basic truth that everyone has love -- has the capacity to love and to be loved. But some rocks -- wrong upbringing, wrong attitudes, cleverness, cunningness and a thousand and one things -- are blocking the path.
Withdraw unloving acts, unloving words, unloving gestures, and then suddenly you will catch yourself in a very loving mood. Many moments will come when suddenly you will see that something is bubbling -- and there was love, just a glimpse. By and by those moments will become longer. So for one month you try.
[A normally extrovertive sannyasin: I feel that as my energy is turning inwards, it is getting lower and lower.
I don't see it as you do. It is not low energy. The energy is moving with a low speed but it is not low energy.
You were moving at a mad speed. For your whole life you have been a doer: managing, manoeuvering, active, male. That's why I said to you to relax, not to do anything and to let things happen. I wanted you to become feminine. I wanted you to become passive, relaxed.
When a person who has lived in an active mood starts becoming passive, he experiences it as low energy. By calling it low energy you are condemning it. The active mind says, 'What are you doing? You are simply dying! Get hold of yourself and become the doer that you have always been. Perform -- just don't be a watcher. This way you will disappear into death.'
I knew that it would happen to you one day.-When energy really moves slow, it is felt by the old active mind as if it is low energy. It is just slow movement... a river flowing so slowly that you cannot even feel that it is flowing.
A shallow river makes much noise. A deep river makes no noise. If the river is really deep, you cannot even guess that it is moving. The movement is very very slow, very subtle, very silent, with no noise.
That's what is happening: the energy is moving slowly. But you compare it with your past, hence the problem. If you can remain in this mood and drop the judgement, a totally new being
