How are you going to get Love

You know, actually we have no love - that is a terrible thing to realize.

Actually we have no love; we have sentiment; we have emotionality, sensuality, sexuality; we have remembrances of something which we have thought as love.

But actually, brutally, we have no love. Because to have love means no violence, no fear, no competition, no ambition.

If you love, if there is love, there is peace.

If you loved, you would educate your child not to be a nationalist, not to have only a technical job and look after his own petty little affairs; you would have no nationality. There would be no divisions of religion, if you loved.

So we have not that love. Now love cannot be cultivated, obviously; As humility cannot be cultivated, so love cannot be cultivated.

But you must have it. If you don't have it, you cannot have virtue, you cannot be orderly, you cannot live with passion - you may live with lust, which we all know.

So if you have no love, you have no virtue; and without virtue there is disorder.

Now, how are you going to get love? You must have love, as you must have water when you are thirsty.

How are you going to get it ? With time ? In a future life, the future life of tomorrow, or when you die, or in the next life ? Or the next second, which is still the future ?

And since you must have love as a human being, what will you do ?
There is no time. You can't say, ''Well, I can't have it. I can live without love because I have lived without love for two million years, and I will live another two million years without love'' - that means perpetual sorrow for the next two million years.

Sorrow cannot be put away or be resolved through time, nor can love be invited through time.

So what will you do ? If you say, please tell me what to do, then you are missing the bus entirely. But you have to see the importance, the immensity, the urgency of that question - not tomorrow, not the next day or the next hour, but see it now while you are sitting.

And to see that, you must have energy. So just see immediately - the catalyst that makes the liquid into solid or vaporizes it immediately does not take place if you allow time, even a second.

So the issue is with you, not with the speaker from whom you are expecting to get the answer. There is no answer. That is the beauty of it.

You can sit cross-legged, breathe rightly, or stand on your head for the next ten thousand years. Unless you have put this question to yourself - not superficially, not verbally, not intellectually, but with your whole being - you will live with it for two million years - those two million years may be only tomorrow.

So problems and time are intimately related - do you see it now ?

One Day...

"One day you will ask me which is more important? My life or yours? I will say mine and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life." - Khalil Gibran

Remember me

"You've no idea how hard I've looked for a gift to bring You.
Nothing seemed right.
What's the point of bringing gold to the gold mine,or water to the Ocean.
Everything I came up with was like taking spices to the Orient.
It's no good giving my heart and my soul because you already have these.
So, I've brought you a mirror.
Look at yourself and remember me."

— Jalaluddin Rumi

Love and Life quotations - Kahlil Gibran

"When love beckons to you, follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you."
Kahlil Gibran

To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to.
Kahlil Gibran

"A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?"
Kahlil Gibran



Love and doubt have never been on speaking terms.
Kahlil Gibran






Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
Kahlil Gibran

The person you consider ignorant and insignificant is the one who came from God, that he might learn bliss from grief and knowledge from gloom.
Kahlil Gibran

To be able to look back upon ones life in satisfaction, is to live twice.
Kahlil Gibran
I prefer to be a dreamer among the humblest, with visions to be realized, than lord among those without dreams and desires.
Kahlil Gibran

Weekend with Rumi

On my other blog Spiritual Connections i started to discuss about inspiration. The quote above suggests inspiration as being a must, a necessity for one's grow and spiritual evolution.
Thus, inspiration is in fact a response given by the soul's voice, which we are able to listen sometimes, but especially during meditation.

Bellow i am offering you some inspiration tools in images, quotations and poetry by Rumi.

All through eternity
Beauty unveils His exquisite form
in the solitude of nothingness;
He holds a mirror to His Face
and beholds His own beauty.
he is the knower and the known,
the seer and the seen;
No eye but His own
has ever looked upon this Universe.


His every quality finds an expression:
Eternity becomes the verdant field of Time and Space;
Love, the life-giving garden of this world.
Every branch and leaf and fruit
Reveals an aspect of His perfection-
They cypress give hint of His majesty,
The rose gives tidings of His beauty.


Whenever Beauty looks,
Love is also there;
Whenever beauty shows a rosy cheek
Love lights Her fire from that flame.
When beauty dwells in the dark folds of night
Love comes and finds a heart
entangled in tresses.
Beauty and Love are as body and soul.
Beauty is the mine, Love is the diamond.


They have together
since the beginning of time-
Side by side, step by step.





Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart.



Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.

Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.
