In this speech, Gurudev explained what the current world thinks about love, what is the true meaning of love, what importance sadhana, mantra chanting, getting a glimpse of God or Goddess holds in life, how love is above all these things and why must a person put his conscious efforts to get love in life.
Today I am going to take you to the journey of ocean of love and it is a blissful moment of life. This is because the life is full of ups and downs, it is a journey whose path is filled with uneven rocks, because life is full of struggles. The journey of life is so torturing that a person doesn’t even find a moment to relax in life. The journey of this life is full of difficult and confusing tracks and a person travelling on this path seems lost in it.
And due to this reason if we analyze our life carefully, we will find that there is no eternal bliss in our life, there is no consciousness in our life. And due to this reason I am taking you away from these difficulties of life and taking you to the journey of love by putting you all in the boat of love. Today I am taking you to the place where there is the knowledge of love.
Love is the essence of the complete journey of life and a person can’t be termed as a human being in true sense till the time there is no love in his or her life. The main aim of this life is love, the first stage of this life is love and the last stage of this life is also love only. And when I mention the word love before you people, when I elaborate love before you people, then it’s not related to any sexual pleasures. There is neither a female body nor a strong built male body, there is nothing related to the pleasures of our senses.
Love is a sweet fragrance, love is a waterfall and a person who takes bath in its water, feels freshened up and blessed. Love is like a soothing music which touches all the nodes of our body and we feel like dancing. You are all traveling on the path of becoming disciple, you are traveling on the path of sadhanas, you are traveling on the path of upasana, however I am forcing you to stop for a moment in your life. I am holding this moment of your life and am trying to explain you that life is not just about sitting with closed eyes and to meditate or to continuously chant the mantras, life is not just chanting Guru Mantra or to chant Ram-Ram. The greatness of life doesn’t lie in just sitting at one place and to continuously remain involved in some sadhana or mantra chanting.
Greatness of life lies in the fact that we must take our life to completeness. Greatness of life lies in the fact that a person is able to assimilate eternal joy in his eyes, in all the atoms of the body. And this eternal bliss, this completeness of life, this greatness of life, this pleasure of life, the beauty of life lies in love only. Due to this reason only I say that there is no direction in love, there is no boundary for love, there is no relation in love and love can happen with anyone.
-Love can be in between God and a human being.
– Love can be in between a living being and a rose flower.
– Love can be with Himalayas.
– Love can be with a waterfall.
– Love can be with a river or with a forest.
And this can happen when a seed of love can germinate in your heart, when a spark emerges within you, when a thought process emerges within you. Ramananda was a great yogi and He was able to reach to the highest level of sadhana and was blessed by the glimpse of God. One day a disciple come to His hermitage and requested, “I want to accomplish a sadhana, I want to gain some divine powers, I wish to get a glimpse of Goddess Tara or Goddess Kali.” Ramananda asked, “Do you know how to love?”
The disciple was left astonished. He asked, “What is the relationship between sadhanas and love? I am here to learn about sadhana. I am your disciple and you have initiated me. I am also close to your heart. There is no significance of love in my life, for me it is worthless. I am here to learn about that great knowledge which can help me to please Goddess Kali, which can help me to get a glimpse of Goddess Tara, which can help to gain blessings of the ten Mahavidhyas. Please tell me about that mantra, please tell me about the method, that knowledge using which I can gain success in the field of sadhanas.
Ramananda again asked, “Do you know how to love?” The disciple was now left speechless. Once again the same question? He thought what has happened to Gurudev today. He couldn’t have uttered anything more in front of his Guru, so he stood near to him quietly. The disciple then again asked, “I am unable to understand your point of view. You are perhaps also not understanding my request. I am your disciple and is sitting at your feet. I wish to accomplish sadhanas in life. I wish to attain completeness in life. I wish to learn about the secrets of sadhana. I wish to know the mantra using which I can get a glimpse of Gods and Goddesses. I wish to assimilate myself in them and due to this reason, I am requesting you again to please share that mantra with me.”
Ramananda looked at that disciple for a moment and then again asked, “Do you know how to love?” Now the disciple was left with no words. He fell down in the holy feet of Ramananda and again requested, “Gurudev! Probably you are not able to understand my point of view or I am not able to understand you. I once again request you to please share with me the knowledge of sadhana, please share the secrets of sadhana.”
Ramananda replied, “You fool! You can’t be a disciple. You don’t have the ability to become a disciple. You can’t attain completeness, happiness and satisfaction in life. You can’t get a glimpse of Gods or Goddesses. This is all because of the fact that a person whose heart isn’t filled with love can’t perform sadhana. How can a person feel the fragrance of love whose heart is not filled with love? You can’t attain success in any sadhana. You will first have to energize your heart prior to performing sadhana in life. The seed of love must germinate in your heart and then only you will be able to perform and get success in any sadhana.”
And due to this reason, today I am not taking you towards meditation, due to this reason only I am not giving you any mantra today. Today I am taking you into the ocean of love whose waves will make you energized in life, which will give you unparalleled pleasure of life. I am taking you to the place where there is eternal bliss, where lies the greatness of life. I am taking you on to the journey which starts from the birth and ends at getting the glimpse of God. This is an easy path, this is a delightful path, this is the path that brings sweetness in life and is the greatness of life. The greatest point about traveling on this path of love is the fact that every moment of life gets filled with eternal joy, life gets filled with a sweet fragrance and the person feels energized. The moment this wave generates in the life of a disciple, he continuously start to travel on the path of eternal bliss. This is because a wave never stops, stone or wood gets stopped at a point, however a wave can’t stop…a wave always continues to travel towards its goal, a wave possess the capability to continue to travel towards the shore and due to this reason I wish to convert you all into a wave. And if I am an ocean, I wish that you become a wave of that ocean. I don’t want you to become a straw in that great ocean, I don’t want you to become a rock in the path towards the shore. I want you to become a wave and continuously travel towards the shore, I want you to travel into that ocean which is filled with love, which is satisfying and due to this reason I am taking you onto the path of love today.
Everything can be obtained in life viz. knowledge, consciousness, fame, and all sorts of worldly pleasures, still it is not necessary that a person can get blessed with love in his life. I have already told the crux of my speech and I am repeating it again that there is a huge difference in between sex and love. Sex is a pleasure for the body, there is nothing great about sex. By means of sex we can just create a human being just like us to get tortured, to struggle, to bear all sorts of pain in life. However, love doesn’t wish for anything, love doesn’t expect anything, there is nothing to be attained in love. Love means to give and to give everything that one possess.
Love wants to give everything and to lose oneself. This process of losing oneself is called as love. If put correctly, then only a woman can love in life, man can’t love. When a man loves, he keeps an account of it, he considers various things, he evaluates everything to see what will happen by this action, how much will be obtained by this act of mine? A woman don’t do this, she doesn’t love in bits and pieces, she doesn’t evaluate and it is a woman who can completely lose herself in love.
And due to this reason only a woman was able to become Meera, no man was able to become like Meera. Soordas was unable to become like Meera. Even if Buddha would have tried with full efforts, he couldn’t have become Meera, Mahavir too couldn’t have become Meera by putting his sincere efforts. The reason behind this is that it is necessary to possess a woman’s heart to become Meera, one needs a fragrance of heart….and that fragrance of heart is possessed only by women, that completeness of heart is only possessed by a woman. A man protraits him self as a woman to get that love in life, however he can’t get the heart of a woman and thus fails. And due to this reason, there is nothing to be thought off prior to jumping in the ocean of love.
When I am asking you to become a wave of this huge ocean, you have to leave your thought process, your mind on the shore…you will have to leave your calculations and your views and then when you jump into those waves, when you completely submerge yourself in those waves, you will be able to attain love in life, then you will be able to understand the true meaning of love in life, then you will be able to feel that divine fragrance, then you will attain a thought process, a consciousness after which you will be able to attain joy in life and could swim in this great ocean and proceed ahead in it.
One shore of this unending ocean is birth and the other shore is that of nirvana, it is getting amalgamated into Guru and identifying His true form, it is witnessing your beloved God. And due to this reason, the complete process to know oneself is termed as this huge ocean and you have to become a wave in that ocean….however you are freezed, you are divided into several small parts, you have not been able to become a wave and are stagnant just like water in the pond.
And since the water within the pond is stagnant, it is bound to contain a foul smell. It is because it doesn’t have any motion and due to this reason I don’t want to make you the water of a pond. Due to this reason, I don’t want to bind you within a pond, I am explaining you to jump into the ocean, I am teaching you the mechanism by which you can jump into that great ocean and become its wave. It is possible that sometimes that wave may rise up to 15-20 feet and might also rise up to just 2 feet, however if you will become a wave, it is certain that you will possess the power to rise higher in life, you will not get finished in life. And a person who knows how to reach higher will certainly attain nirvana one day in his life, he will definitely reach up to the completeness of love.
And due to this reason Ramananda asked the question do you know how to love?”once, twice, thrice. Now, I am also asking the same question to you – Have you energized you heart prior to performing the sadhana, prior to mantra chanting, prior to chanting Guru mantra, prior to wishing to get a glimpse of the Gods and Goddesses?”
– Have you ever loved in your life?
– Has the seed of love ever germinated in your heart?
– Have you ever felt that fragrance of love in your life?
– Have you ever merged that sweet wind within yourself?
– Have you ever embraced that breeze of love within your arms?
And I think that you have not been able to do something like this in life. You have not been able to do anything like this because you never got the knowledge, you never got any inspiration about this in life. This entire society has pushed human beings towards a rotten ritual. It has termed love as a low words, something to be ashamed of. Love today means sex, satisfying desires of the body, love today means the path which takes a man towards downfall, they have expressed love as something which has to be done secretly, and this philosophy of the pandits have become the reason of human downfall. Humans were able to develop their mind, they were able to develop their thinking abilities, however their heart became wilt. The heart’s liveliness disappeared somewhere, it got lost somewhere. The charm of heart got finished during this entire development cycle.
And till the time charm is not there in life, there can be no fragrance in life, life can’t reach to its completeness till that point, nothing can be obtained in life till that point. Green leaves can’t appear on a dead tree, there can’t be any beat in a dead tree, air can’t play its music with a dead tree, a dead tree can’t dance with the motion of air, there can’t be any consciousness in a dead tree. And your society has converted you into a dead tree whose only motive is to stand still in life. However, you are not born to just stand like a statue in your life.
And due to this reason only and for the very first time I am attacking on your society’s rotten culture. I am attacking on the preaching of the pandits and the maulvis, I am attacking on whatever your society has taught till now. I am attacking on the thought process that you have been carrying for last several years. If you want to perform sadhana….if you want to attain success in life, if you want to proceed in your life, then it is a must to learn the art of loving. You have to amalgamate love within yourself, you will have to walk on the path of love and it is because love is the essence of life.
And I have tasted the eternal joy of love, I have experienced that joy of love in my life, I know the imagination of love and I know how much pleasure gets generated in life after attaining love in life. I know that every heart beat of life, every moment of life, every pore of our body gets filled with a completeness and one starts to understand that the person is moving towards upliftment in life. Every moment the person is inching towards greatness in life.
Such a person can’t stand still at one place in his life, someone always exist in his eye in each and every moment of his life, the person feels a strange sort of trance in life. The entire philosophy of life changes, thought process of such a person changes entirely…and due to this reason only, prior to performing any sadhana, prior to attaining success in any sadhanas, prior to starting mantra chanting, prior to getting a glimpse of your beloved God or Goddess, I am once again telling you that this is not the completeness of life, but love is. This is your guide of life, what all has been said by Mahavir, what all has been taught by Shankaracharya explains only about one aspect of life. They were able to only witness only one aspect of life because the society force them to do so. They were not able to experience the other aspect of life, they were not able to enjoy the other aspects of life.
If a tree’s roots are dead, no leaves can ever appear on that tree, no flowers can ever blossom on that tree, that tree can’t bring fortune to any other living being because it’s roots are dead, because those roots don’t have any life. Similarly, love is the root of human’s life and till the time that root doesn’t get alive, nothing special can be achieved in this life. For the very first time and being your Guru, I am telling you about a new thought process of life. I am giving you a new philosophy, I am giving you this new consciousness because I am always with you. You will travel in this ocean along with me. You become a wave of this ocean, you become a joy of life, you become an imagination by which you can flourish in all the four directions, by which you can witness joy and completeness of life. Vedas have mentioned the correct way to live a life and the ancient most Veda, RigVeda, mentions that “Poorva He Sadaah Sadevah Priyaam Poorvah Preyah”. If you wish to understand life, then first you have to understand love and to understand love you have to first energize you heart. This has been mentioned in Vedas, this has been told by our sages that if you wish to understand life, if you wish to attain completeness in life, you will have to first understand what it love.
You are trying to understand life, you are trying to progress on the path towards completeness of life, you are trying to meditate by sitting in a particular position with closed eyes, you are trying to become Buddha in life and you are trying to become Mahavir in life. You can’t attain success by your efforts because Vedas have mentioned this, because Shastras have mentioned it that if you wish to understand life, if you wish to attain completeness in life, then you will have to first energize your heart…and due to this reason only and for the very first time I am taking you on to the journey of this great ocean, I am not taking you into any deep valley, or on a rugged path or on a path which is full of thorns and very tough to travel on, I am taking you towards “Rajmarg.”
The rest part of the speech in which Gurudev further gave more details about the importance of love in life, how one can be blessed with love in life will be covered in the next month’s subscription.
