WHENEVER YOU FEEL DEPRESSED, FOR THE TIME BEING YOUR LOVE HAS
DRIED UP. IF YOU ARE FIGHTING WITH SOMEONE, AT THAT TIME YOU WILL
FIND THAT YOU ARE NOT THINKING OF LOVE AT ALL.
HERE
ARE STEPS TO THIS REALIZATION:
HUMILITY, self-purification exercises, washing off your sins,
exhausting your karmas, coming to a certain trust and faith. But when you
really reach that paraprema,4 parabhakti, you will not only weep but tears
will come to you incessantly, without your even thinking to weep. And these
tears carry joy with them, not only repentance and purification. What else
could there be beyond that Love and joy? Therefore it fulfills. This is far
beyond any philosophy of interconnectedness. You feel settled,
interconnected not only with all of humanity but with everything. 4 supreme Love |
You will not see much difference
between life and death. Old age or sickness will lose
their hold on you. If then, at some stage, through old age or disease, you
close your eyes to leave the body, you will not mind dying. There will be no
pangs and pain or pathos. You will feel relaxed and take it easy. You will
find that basis of connectedness, that Love, wherever you go, whatever you
do. |
