The Call of the Heart Quotes

“Love is not an exclusive relationship with another person; love is the quality that arises when we are in contact with our inner being, with our authentic self, with the meditative quality within, with the inner silence and emptiness. This inner emptiness is experienced by others and is expressed on the outside as love. This love is not addressed to a specific person; it is a presence and quality that surrounds a person like a fragrance.”

“An individual who is rooted in his inner self is always blissful. Through awareness, the meditator continuously experiences the blissful self.  An individual who is experiencing centeredness and bliss can also be surrounded by unhappiness, but he is not identified with unhappiness. The meditator is rooted in bliss through awareness. Through awareness, the experience of bliss can be found. Awareness is the method through which you can recognize your true nature,”

“Meditation means awareness. Except for meditation, nothing makes a person find his inner being, it changes a person. If meditation is progressing, then the only criteria of its progress are love, the only criteria for its progress is compassion. A man of compassion always thinks about you, about your needs. Love always thinks of the other, the ego only thinks of oneself. Love is always considerate, the ego is absolutely inconsiderate. The ego has only one language and that is of the self. The ego always uses the other; love is always ready to serve.”

“A man of fear can only hate. Love is a state of harmony; hate is a state of illness. Hate is illness, and love is health and wholeness. When you hate, your ego is fulfilled. The ego can exist only if you hate. In love, the ego has to disappear.  In love, you are no longer separate.  Love helps you to be in harmony with others. If you are too identified with the ego, then hate becomes easy, and love becomes difficult. Love needs courage, because it needs the sacrifice of the ego. Only those who are ready to become nobody, to become a silence, a nothingness, are able to receive the gift of love.”
