When a woman really loves you, that simply means that she would like to be one with you and would like you to become one with her. And only women know how to love. Man is always amateurish and because he is amateurish in love he has become expert in many other things. That is just to complement, because he has been always feeling that in love the woman always defeats him.

So if somebody comes to me and asks, 'What is the proof of God?' I say, 'Love, and you will find the proof.' Logic is not the proof; only love is the proof. But you are already looking afraid!

[To the woman] make him as afraid as you can, mm?
