turned into love because both are hot energies. Indifference cannot be turned into love; it is simply death -- and down the centuries man has been taught to remain cold.
To remain cold has become the very way of people, their very style. That's why you see so many mummies, dead corpses, walking around. Nothing is alive -- just machines, robots, doing everything that is required but not living... not living with joy, not alive dynamos, not creative.
So my whole teaching is based on being hot... remember that.
'Tapan' is a beautiful word -- it means heat energy. Energy always flows with heat. The river flows when it is warm; when it is cold it freezes, stops flowing; then there is ice. And when you freeze, when you are cold, you become matter; when you melt you become energy.
So when a person is deep in love he is energy, and when he is simply cold and calculating.... There are people who do nothing else but bookkeeping, cold calculations -- 'the bookkeepers'; they are always calculating and always being cunning and cold. Mathematics seems to be their only life. When a person is just calculating, he is matter. When he is loving and is ready to take the risk of love and is ready to melt and flow, he is energy.
So the first thing: the energy should not be allowed to become cold, otherwise it freezes. And the second thing to remember is that the energy is not just energy -- it is divine too, it is god's existence. Existence is full of god -- too full of god, overcrowded with god. Move with energy, let there be warmth, liquidity, flow, and soon you will recognise that when you are really at the optimum of your flow, you have the experience of the divine. At the optimum of your flow you touch the unknown, the intangible. That which cannot be touched you touch, and you know that which cannot be known. You experience it, you have a taste of it....
