      holds the keys of hell in his hands.

      The Scottish philosopher David Hume was an atheist,

      but every Sunday he made it a point

      to attend the sermon of John Brown,

      a confirmed theist.

      When people pointed out

      that going to church was against his own principles

      he laughed – and replied: I have no faith whatever

      in what John Brown says,

      but John Brown has total faith in what John Brown says.

      So once a week I make a point of hearing a man

      who has total faith in himself!

      118. Love.

      Love is also fire,

      but a cool fire.

      Yet we have to burn in it

      because it also purifies;

      it burns only to purify.

      The dross burns

      leaving pure gold.

      In the same way my love will bring suffering

      because I wish to destroy you in order to recreate you.

      The seed must be broken –

      how else can the tree be born?

      The river must end –

      how else is it to merge with the ocean?

      So let go of yourself and die –

      how else will you find the self?

      119. Love.

      Truth is discovered not through swimming

      but through drowning.

      Swimming is a surface happening,

      drowning takes you to the infinite depths.

      120. Love.

      The search for meaning is disastrous;

      it has brought nothing but meaninglessness.

      To see that there is no meaning –

      is to have the real meaning

      where meaninglessness cannot be,

      where meaning doesn’t matter

      and so its disasters are avoided.

      What remains just is, and what is,

      is and what is not, is not and that’s all.

      You ask for a clear statement about motivelessness.

      Your attempt to understand cannot succeed

      because it is motivated!

      Why bother about understanding?

      Look, isn’t the thing clear before you there?

      All things are open!

      All things are clear!

      But man is so busy understanding no one is left to see what is clear,

      what is obvious, what is there!

      Confusion is the effort to understand.

      Ignorance is the effort to know.

      If you don’t try to understand or know,

      nothing can hide itself from you!

      Truth is always in front of you, naked, clear.

      121. Love.

      You say you feel broken.

      It would be better if you broke down completely and disappeared.

      That which is will always be the case

      and that which has become is bound to vanish.

      Becoming always leads to dissolution so do not try to save yourself.

      One who loses himself goes beyond life and death,

      and he who saves himself is lost.

      You are busy saving yourself

      and that is why you are afraid of breaking down.

      But what is there to save?

      And that which is worth saving is already saved.

      122. Love.

      You long for the sun

      and you will get it for sure,

      but you have to have the courage to burn!

      You can’t reach the light without dying,

      for ego is darkness,

      and besides, the sun isn’t anywhere outside

      but is born within when everything else there burns.

      When the self is alight – that is the light.

      The fear of dying is darkness,

      the jump into death is the light.

      Die, and know this!

      Disappear, and you will find it.

      That is why I say love is prayer –

      it is the first lesson in death.

      Regards to all.

      123. Love.

      Do not look for a purpose in life but live, and live totally.

      Do not be serious and grave but turn life into a dance.

      Dance – like the waves on the sea!

      Blossom – like the flowers in spring!

      Sing – as the birds do continuously!

      All without purpose, for no reason; then purpose is there,

      and all mystery is solved.

      The famous physician Rocky Tonsky once asked a student:

      What is the purpose of life? What is its meaning?
