Love, the Only Light

Love is the only light there is in life. Love is the inner light. It needs no fuel; it is eternal. It is not caused by anything - hence it cannot be turned off.

Anything that can be switched on can be turned off. It is simply there; we cannot put it on, we cannot put it off. This light, this love, has not to be invented but only to be discovered or rediscovered.

And becoming a sadhak is nothing but an inquiry into this inner world of love and light. They are two aspects of the same phenomenon: when we look in, it is light; when we share it with others, it is love. When we are alone with it, it is light; when we communicate it to others, it is love.

Light communicated is love; love burning inside as an alone flame is light. And this is the whole quest of humanity, to discover it. Once we have discovered it all fear of death disappears, because then there is no death.

And all fear of darkness disappears because then there is no darkness either. The experience of the light is so tremendous that people have given it names: God, nirvana, enlightenment, moksha, liberation. It is so huge that no ordinary words can contain it; hence every language has invented words for it. God is not a person, neither is nirvana a place.

These are different names for that experience of light. When it explodes within us it is so much, uncontainable, inexpressible, inexhaustible, that one is simply drowned in it, one is simply drunk with it, and drunk forever. There is no coming back; once gone into it one is gone forever.

The light of a thousand suns shines within and then that is reflected in the outer being. The love energy encompasses the individual and both human and non-human beings feel that love energy and are comfortable in it.

The light at the end of the benign tunnel is close at hand, meditate regularly to cross the tunnel and become the light, to become pure love.
