There cannot be any words. There is only stillness. Just like a perfectly calm lake, there cannot be any ripples or waves when real love is experienced. Ripples and waves are a distortion, a distraction, a disturbance in the mental lake. Love ensues from stillness of the mind. In that stillness one can experience silence. The talking of the mind stops completely. Real love is felt in that silence. Silence, silence alone, is the language of love." - Vol.5, p7 0338."Real love exists in the heart. The love that exists in the heart cannot be spoken; it cannot be put in words. The heart is not the place for words. Words are in the intellect. The intellect can speak, but it is nothing more than a tape recorder. It records and spits out words and words and words - words that don't have any feeling in them. The intellect cannot feel compassion; it cannot feel love or kindness." - Vol.5, p7 0339."The intellect cannot feel compassion; it cannot feel love or kindness. It can only reason. It will even try to reason out love and compassion. Son, where there is too much talking, there is no love. One who really loves is constantly in a meditative mood. Thoughts cease to exist in the presence of such love." - Vol.5, p8 jai amma ~ incarnation of love ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
