“The world teaches you to be logical, but logic destroys your love, which is far more valuable because it is through love that you will know God. It is through the heart that there is a possibility to know the beauty of existence.
We have been brought up in a very alculating way. We are being made to be clever and cunning, because that is what succeeds in the world. That is what helps you to achieve ambitions. You are brought up in a way, so that you can go on ego trips, on power trips, but reality is not an ego trip. To be in contact with reality, one has to put aside the ego and all the cunning and calculating ways.
One has to learn to be more in contact with the heart, with the aesthetic sense, and to be more in tune with existence. You have to be more in a love affair with life. You should be more open to the wind, to the sun and to the rain. You should be more full of wonder, than logic and knowledge. Each moment should be a moment of awe, of wonder.
Looking at life with eyes of the heart, the whole world becomes full for God. If your heart is hard, cunning and calculative,
God disappears from the world. God dies. Then you live in a godless world. Living in a godless world is not worth living at all. Life loses all beauty and become absolutely mundane. Padma, my beloved friend for many lives, said once: "What would be the reason to live if there would be no spirituality?"
The meditator have to live a life of grace, a beautiful life, a life of love, silence, joy, truth, freedom and creativity. Then you will become open to God.”
