Many people escape from life: they don't find themselves capable of coping with it.

I will tell you one thing, and one thing only. You have to fight your way through life, because that is the only way to become aware and alert; to become so balanced that nobody can unbalance you. And then you can and will use any situation as a stepping stone to a higher consciousness.

Challenges are growth opportunities and there is no greater challenge in life than love. Only out of experience is one freed. Truth liberates; experience gives you truth.

The more and more you relate, the more and more you are. The being is discovered through being related.

Each relationship is a mirror. It shows a fragment of your being to you. It reflects something about yourself. When you have grown so much and expanded to the infinity, then the last relationship is with God.

Relationship is a fire; it burns. It is difficult. It is almost impossible to live with someone. It is a constant struggle. Many have escaped, but they are cowards.

Everybody Suffers From Love

Why? Why is love so universally heartbreaking?
Because we have been conditioned that love is a feeling.
LOVE IS A SENSATION. Eating when you are hungry is a sensation. Lying down when you are tired is a sensation. Making love is a sensation. So is the love of God.

But in our ignorance we emotionalise joy, beauty and love. We make feelings of them; personal interpretations based on our old emotions. We put our personal past in the present, with the result that joy, beauty and love don't seem to last. But it is our emotional substitutes that don't last. And we become bored and unhappy again. The sensation or knowledge of joy, beauty and love is still there, but these other feelings overwhelm the sensation.

Perhaps the most important gift is the discovery of being a part of a very vibrant and responsive universe, so full of life - animals, insects, plants, rocks - all ready and willing to openly communicate with and befriend.
