Frozen Ness is gone. Your definition has disappeared. You are no more limited, you are no more confined. At the deepest core, you are no more. Because if you ARE then there will be some kind of frozenness in you. If you ARE then you cannot be flowing -- something will be hindering and something will be stuck and something will be obstructing. When you are not at all.... That's why when two lovers are in deep embrace there are not two persons. There is only one energy, revolving. When two lovers are really in deep embrace there comes a moment, the woman forgets whether she is woman or man and the man forgets whether he is man or woman. If that moment has not come then you have not loved.
In deep love you disappear. Still something is there, a kind of presence -- but nobody is present. There is no center as frozen ice, there is no self.

If this feeling 'I am' disappears, there is no problem. Ice will melt.

APART FROM WATER, NO ICE,

You know only your physical body. You have not known your second body, the bliss body. And unless you know the second body you will not be able to know the third, the deepest -- your universal body, your cosmic body, your Buddha body.
This is the Buddhist trinity -- the father, the son and the holy ghost. Or, this is the Buddhist TRIMURTI -- the three faces of God. Buddha says everybody has these three bodies. The first, the physical, is very frozen. The second is in a state of liquidity. And the third is vaporous. First the ice has to melt into water and then the water has to evaporate. Have you watched? The ice has definition,
