Love is the shallow space in a swimming
pool, for those who cannot meditate. But that is the place to learn
meditation.

IT IS
THE EASIEST WAY. In
human life, love is the closest phenomenon to
meditation. The moment you
fall in love with someone, what actually happens?
What transpires between those two who have fallen in love with each other?
They drop their egos -- at least for each other. They drop their
hypocrisies, their masks. They want to be together, almost one soul within
two bodies. That's the desire of love.

|
|
And this
is a beautiful moment to change it into a meditation. Just nobody has ever
told them. In fact, just the opposite has been told to them: that love is
against meditation, so people who are falling in love can never become
meditators. |

THE SAME PEOPLE who make
celibacy spiritual make love
unspiritual, something dirty,
condemned. But to me things are
totally different.
Love helps
you to relax, which is part of
meditation. Love helps you to be
joyous, which is part of
meditation.
Love helps you, for a few
moments at least, to be silent,
which is the essential part of
meditation.

So to
me, love is a basic experience which can help you to become meditators. The
old religions have been preventing it, and they have been preventing it for
a certain reason. If people can transform their love into meditation, then
the priests and the churches and the synagogues are no more needed, then
people are totally free. No spiritual
leadership is needed.
