HY
SHOULD UNCONDITIONAL LOVE be so satisfying? Because you are coming back to where
you started. The creation began in Love. The tree grows and gives shade
naturally; it does not project or decide to give shade. Does the sun shine
to give sunshine to miserable humanity or because it loves us? Neither. It
is the sun’s natural radiation to shine. That is why the greatest
Enlightened Beings and the Prophets are the embodiment of Love. They could
not avoid it. It is not because they hit upon the idea of loving all people
as their own souls. You cannot go from Absolute Realization to anything but
loving all irrespectively. Why would Buddha or Jesus feel the miseries of
mankind? Why Krishna, the great warrior, occultist and conqueror He could
have done anything He wanted, and He did is known as the God of Love? Such
Beings do not merely love us they are Love
embodied. Love is their
radiation, their natural state.
This Love is so satisfying, so fulfilling, that there is no difference
between that and the highest wisdom. The acme of wisdom is also Love. It
cannot be anything else. Wisdom and Love are inseparable. But this Love that
I am touching, as far as language goes, does not need wisdom. When you reach
this realization of Love, you are simple, childlike and natural. Does it cancel any wisdom,
formulas or yogas?

No, it is all together, in everything. If my wisdom did
not have Love conjoining with it, I do not think anything I say could make
sense or attract you. Once you realize this, you will see the irony of
preaching, "God loves you." God could not do otherwise. He and we exist
because of Love. I would not call it Hindu love or Christian love or
Buddhist love. Whosoever is selfless and unconditionally loving, you will
see that even though they may have no interest in the world they are not
attached to a single thing they will still be loving. It is not that they
project Love, it is their natural unfoldment.
Normally in today’s world, unless you say, "I love you," nobody understands
that you love him or her. But this Love you do not need to express. It is
just there. You feel it as a radiation that attracts, a vibration. And this
Love will make you fully wise, fully knowing. When we see photographs of
sages such as Ramana Maharshi, we see that Love in their eyes, beyond any
human feeling or affection. Why do we tell God, "I love You" He Who is
Himself Love? Human love is a very pale reflection of that ultimate
relationship of you and your Spirit, you and your God. This is where you
have to reach. When Vedavyas came back to that Love, he would weep for God.
Before that he was a highly meditative sage, like the Himalayan peaks. But
now he wept. He was fully purified, fulfilled.
