“Without love a man is just a body, an empty temple without the deity. With love the deity arrives, the temple is no more empty.”
“Love is the door, it is irrelevant with whom you have fallen in love. Love redeems, neither Jesus, nor Krishna. Love redeems”
“Let your love be your state of being, NOT that you fall in love, but just that you are loving .. it is simply your nature …You can be in state of love only if you drop the old mind pattern of relationships…..LOVE IS NOT A RELATIONSHIP.”
“Love is the true God—not the God of theologians, but the God of Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed, the God of the Sufis.”
“Nobody loves anything more than freedom. Even love is secondary to freedom; freedom is the highest value. Love can be sacrificed for freedom, but freedom cannot be sacrificed for love.”
“You have to remember that freedom is the highest value and if love is not giving you freedom then it is not love. Freedom is a criterion: anything that gives you freedom is right, and anything that destroys your freedom is wrong. If you can remember this small criterion your life, slowly, will start settling on the right path about everything: your relationships, your meditations, your creativity, whatever you are.”
