When you enquire earnestly in order to
experience Prema (Love), the human being goes about searching for several
methods. If we really want to experience Prema, we have got to understand what
Peace or Shanti means. If we want to follow the path of Peace, we will have to
accept the path of Dharma. If we want to follow the path of Dharma, we will
have to accept the path of Truth. Here is a small example. Let us take Prema
as the shining light. If we want to experience this shining light, we should
have a bulb. If we want the bulb to glow and experience the shining light, we
should have a connection to the bulb. By just a connection of wire to the bulb,
the bulb is not going to glow. In that wire, we should have an electric
current. Here we see that the electric current can be compared to the Truth,
the wire can be compared to Dharma while the bulb can be compared to Shanti or
Peace. If we have all these three things, then only we will get Prema, the
light. We may have a good new bulb. We may have a wire. Are we going to get
light out of that? Unless there is current inside the wire, we cannot get the
bulb to glow.
(Text about ‘love’ 5th chapter –
human values)During our study circle we focus on the text of Baba and in the insight was, 'use my words' and by thinking it over we get used to use his words.
He is Atma, truth and we focus on the truth in his words.
If we use his words it is about truth and insights and getting the answers in the insight and seeing our life in the inner vision. If we see our life in the inner vision attachment slides away.
In the circle sitting together and reflecting on his wisdom is right action and in our focus on his words, the truth in his words and the circle, we learn to understand peace and if we are on a mind level and not focused on the truth in his words, it will only be half a circle and we come back with a headache.
To get the experience of pure love, we need three things, truth, right action and peace.
If those three things are there, we get an experience of pure love.
We find it in our study circle and any other spiritual practice if we get consciously aware of it.
If those three things are there, we can have an experience of pure love and above all it is a fulfilling and great spiritual experience of sharing and getting aware of the bliss in his words.
If we have that experience once and get aware of the joy and pure love in that sharing wisdom with others in a satsang on a conscious level together, we never want to miss it again.
It is better than any sense enjoyment, and like meditation, as Baba said, it is pleasure for the mind and beyond our imagination and therefore, a remedy for about everything.
