"The very first step in understanding what this is all about is giving up the concept of an active, volitional 'I' as a separate entity and accepting the passive role of perceiving and functioning as a process." - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

You Are Love

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj


Q. Why is there so much suffering in love?
M. All suffering is born of desire. True love is never frustrated. How can the sense of unity be frustrated? What can be frustrated is the desire for expression. Such desire is of the mind. As with all things mental, frustration is inevitable. 

Q. What is the place of sex in love?
M. Love is a state of being. Sex is energy. Love is wise, sex is blind. Once the true nature of love and sex is understood there will be no conflict or confusion.

Q. There is so much sex without love.
M. Without love all is evil. Life itself without love is evil.

Q. What can make me love?
M. You are love itself - when you are not afraid.
