"We are not interested
in going to paradise;
we
are interested in
making the paradise
come here. It all depends
on our love,
on our silence,
on our peace,
on our meditation."
Love is the feminine way and meditation is the
masculine way. Meditation means the capacity to
be absolutely
alone, and love means the capacity to be absolutely
together. Love means rejoicing relatedness;
meditation means
rejoicing solitude, aloneness. Both do the same work,
because on both the paths the ego
disappears. If you are
really in love you have to drop your ego; otherwise love
will not be possible. If you want to go
deep into
meditation you will have to leave the ego behind; otherwise you
will not be alone. The ego will
be there and the
duality will remain: the being and the ego, consciousness and mind.

RELATIONSHIPS - Relationships aren't about FINDING the
right person! It's about BEING
the right person!
Love has three dimensions. One is animal love,
absolutely unconscious, instinctive,
physiological,
biological, self-gratifying. The second is human love - a little
higher than the biological, a little
more psychological, a little
higher than instinct. It has something of intelligence in it, it is
a little more refined
than the crude biological, the
instinctive. But still it is not the highest. There is still one
more dimension - that
is divine love - which is spiritual -
your spirit, your soul, Your Real Being. - Loneliness is
negative - you are
missing something; aloneness is
positive - you have FOUND something,> Your Real Being
--- Love and meditation are
like two wings of a bird. A bird
cannot fly with one wing - find energy in meditation and
SHARE it in love. Love will
give you an APPETITE for
meditation and meditation will give you a Deep Longing
For Love. - If two meditators are
in love then there is great
joy because both have known a positive aloneness. Both
are capable of enjoying their aloneness;
there is no need
for the other. In fact now they relate because they have to
share, they have so much to share. It
is not out of need but
out of abundance, overflowing joy.
