      I am also against the sacrifice of the present for the future,

      because what is is always present.

      If you live in it totally the future will be born out of it –

      and when it comes it too will be the present.

      For he who has the habit of sacrificing the present for the future,

      the future never comes

      because whatever comes is again

      always sacrificed for that which has not yet come.

      Finally, you ask why I too work for others

      and for the future.

      First of all, I do not work.

      Whatever I do flows out of my state of rest.

      I do not swim, I just float.

      No one can ever do anything for another

      but if something happens to others out of what I am,

      that is something else,

      and there too I am not the doer.

      As for the future –

      for me, the present is everything.

      And the past too is also a present – that has passed away.

      And the future too – that is a present that is yet to come.

      Life is always here and now

      so I do not bother about past and future.

      And it is amazing that ever since I stopped worrying about them

      they have begun to worry about me!

      My regards to all there.

      76. Love.

      There is a music which has no sound;

      the soul is restless for such silent music.

      There is a love in which the body is not;

      the soul longs for such unembodied love.

      There is a truth which has no form;

      the soul longs for this formless truth.

      Therefore melodies do not satisfy,

      bodies do not satisfy,

      and forms cannot fulfill the soul.

      But this lack of fulfillment,

      this dissatisfaction, has to be understood properly,

      for such understanding

      ultimately brings about transcendence.

      Then sound becomes the door to the soundless,

      the body becomes the path to the unembodied,

      and form becomes the formless.

      77. Love.

      God is our only wealth.

      Do not depend on any other wealth,

      riches of any other kind bring only disaster.

      St. Theresa wanted to set up a large orphanage

      but at the time she had only three shillings.

      She wanted to start this enormous project

      with just this small amount.

      Friends and admirers advised her:

      Get the funds together first.

      What can you do with just three shillings?

      Theresa laughed and said:

      Naturally Theresa can do nothing with three shillings,

      but with three shillings plus God – nothing is impossible!

      78. Love.

      Sansara is nirvana,

      sound is mantra,

      and all living beings are God.

      It depends on how you look.

      The world is nothing but how one sees it.

      See! Open your eyes and see!

      Where is darkness?

      – there is only light.

      Where is death?

      – there is only deathlessness.

      79. Love.

      I have received your letter.

      As the earth thirsts for the rains after a hot summer

      so you are thirsting for God.

      This thirst becomes an invitation to the divine clouds –

      and the invitation has arrived.

      Just keep drowning yourself in meditation

      and his grace will definitely pour on you.

      If you are ready here –

      he is always ready there.

      Look! Can’t you see his clouds hovering in the sky?

      80. Love.

      Do not fight with yourself.

      You are as you are –

      do not strive to change.

      Do not swim in life,

      just float

      like a leaf on the stream.

      Keep away from sadhanas, mere sadhanas.

      This is the only sadhana.

      Where is there to go?

      What is there to become?

      What is there to find?

      What is, is here and now.

      Please, stop and see!

      What are the animal instincts?

      What is low? and high?

      Whatever is, is –
