The River of Love and Consciousness

A spiritual discourse on the purpose of human life and divine consciousness.

"Human life is given to know God, to know thyself, to love and protect all the creatures on this planet."

"Whoever enters into that river will become the river, and that river which enters into the ocean will become the ocean."

An unnamed speaker delivers a teaching using the metaphor of a river leading to an ocean of immortality. He describes human life's purpose as knowing God and loving all creatures, and explains that worldly confusion obscures the path to this divine river of consciousness, which ultimately merges with the cosmic.

Today is blessed by one of the finest constellations. God is very gracious to us, allowing us to be in this divine atmosphere, in this divine consciousness, in the river of love. This river will lead us to the ocean of immortality. Every consciousness that enters into this river will definitely merge into the cosmic consciousness. Human life is given to know God, to know thyself, to love and protect all the creatures on this planet—to be a helper, to be a protector, not a destructor. The human consciousness is such that it has the ability to reach the cosmic consciousness. But due to all these worldly temptations, due to all this worldly stress and all the differences, humans are confused. They have lost the direction, lost the way to that river—the river which flows towards God. Whoever enters into that river will become the river, and that river which enters into the ocean will become the ocean. That is the truth. Therefore, the purpose of human life is to find the center and the divine presence of Gurudeva and to remove all the obstacles which come on the path. Otherwise, there is no chance.
