How can we experience infinity? Through love! Love is the only thing you cannot think about. If you think about it, it ceases to be love. Lovers talk silly things; they say the same things over and over again. They are not thinking, the reasoning mind has transcended.

When we fall in love, we are really falling in love with ourselves. We do not realise it because we are too caught up in the name and form; love is formless. It’s only through love can one experience infinity without lust and attachment.

Surrender and love are synonymous. It is a state of being when the mind is free of doubts and troubles. Only the brave, the knowledgeable and the wise can surrender.

Surrender is realising that everything belongs to the Divine. ‘I’ am not in control -- that is surrender. When you are not in love, you begin to resist the creation. And whatever you resist will persist. 

The more one fights lust, the less he is able to conquer it. If you fight with somebody, they occupy your mind more than someone you honour or respect. Lust means all desires. When a desire arises, you worship it, recognise it and offer that desire to the Divine. Desire that arises in you is shakti (energy). Knowledge or wisdom is again the energy. Divine knowledge, the power to act, to perform, is the energy.

When you have the desire (iccha) and the knowledge (gyaan) but you cannot act (kriya), it means there is no kriya shakti.

It’s only when you rejoice in your true nature that you can experience bliss. It is so difficult to get into bliss and get out of bliss!  Life is so strange! So, how to remain in bliss? Give priority to the self, to self knowledge. Everything tries to stop the mind from sinking into bliss. Live your life well. If you have to be useful to people all your life, there will be hundreds and millions of people to take care of you. Some people behave very nice on the outside but are rough inside. And some people are the opposite.

Some may be very polite and say, ‘‘Hello, how are you?’’, but inside, they are stiff. The Divine, unlike the world, does not care about your behaviour, but how you feel inside. If you are like a flower inside, then outside too, you will become gentle, not stiff. But it’s preferable to be rough outside and gentle inside rather than gentle outside and rough inside, for your own sake.

Give miracles a chance! Give your devotion a chance!
