Love
opens doors to the whole Milky Way. Love is the bridge between earth and
heaven, between man and god. Let love be your only law; there is no higher
truth. If a man can love, then nothing else is needed; that will transform.
But
a few things to be kept in mind about love. Love should not be a demanding
love; otherwise it loses wings, it cannot fly. It becomes rooted in the earth,
becomes very earthly; then it is lust and it brings great misery and great
suffering. Love should not be conditional, one should not expect anything out
of it. It should be for its own sake – not for any reward, not for any result.
If there is some motive in it, again, your love cannot become the sky. It is
confined to the motive; the motive becomes its definition, its boundary.
Unmotivated love has no boundary: it is pure elation, exuberance, it is the
fragrance of the heart.
And
because there is no desire for any result, it does not mean that results do not
happen; they do, they happen a thousand fold more, because whatsoever we give to
the world, it comes back, it rebounds. The world is an echoing place: if we
throw anger, anger comes back; if we give love, love comes back. But that is a
natural phenomenon, one need not think about it. One can trust: it happens on
its own. This is the law of karma: whatsoever you sow, you reap; whatsoever you
give, you get. So there is no need to think about it, it is automatic. Hate, and
you will be hated. Love, and you will be loved.
And
the third thing: let love become more and more conscious. When it is
unconscious it remains entangled with sexuality. Nothing is wrong in sexuality
but that is the lowest form of love, the first rung of the ladder. It is good
in itself but to remain confined to it is not to grow: there are higher rungs
in the ladder. The ladder reaches to the ultimate and sex is the first rung.
Use it to go beyond it.
Love
should be more conscious. When it is conscious it is less sexual. I am not
saying that there will be no sex: sex will be there but it will not be sexual.
It will be pure sensuality; that is a totally different phenomenon. It will be
sheer joy, sensitivity, but there will be no sexual mind behind it. You will
not be thinking about sex, there will be no cerebral sex in it no head sex in it.
It will be a simple sharing of energies. So these three things to be
remembered; then love, slowly slowly, becomes light.
