Diamonds inside

A human being is a giver of love, not a seeker of it. We possess immense dormant energy and are not poor. We do not need others to love us; we need others as recipients for our love, like a screen for a film. Giving love is the action; receiving is a secondary effect that may follow. Happiness comes from the flow of giving, as in a hug. This giving without condition leads to oneness, dissolving duality. To walk the narrow street of love, two must become one in feeling. Practicing this inwardly brings understanding and world peace.

"The street of love is so narrow, two cannot walk together."

"Actually, we do not want anyone who loves us; we want someone to whom we can give our love."

Filming location: Perth, Australia

Husband and wife are like the two wings of a bird; if one wing is weak, the bird cannot fly. Therefore, the relationship between husband and wife should be harmonious and happy. Then, the children will be very beautiful, nice, and wise, and will also have a happy life. We will speak further about mantra and the mind in the coming two or three days. If I speak everything today, I do not know what to speak tomorrow. I must keep something in reserve. Therefore, dear brothers and sisters, we are the fortunate ones, for we have obtained a human body. This human body contains immense dormant energy. There are diamonds inside, and we should not feel poor. Never say that you are poor. How can you say you are poor? You have two legs, two hands, two eyes—you have everything. What is poor in you? Nothing is poor. You are pure, not poor. Be active, work, and do not depend on anyone, thinking, "He doesn't love me" or "She doesn't love me." Why should he love you? Why? Did you ask why he should love me? Actually, we do not want anyone who loves us; we want someone to whom we can give our love. That is all. We need a screen upon which we can project our film. We need our dog to give love. We need our cats to give love, our birds, our trees, our husband, wife, our children, our neighbors, our parents. We are only reflecting; we are not selfies that we take. You are going somewhere to give your love. That is it. If someone hugs you, you feel so happy because your love is flowing. You are giving this, so you are the giver. Never say that you are poor and nobody loves me. I do not need any love; I am a giver. I will give. And when you give, the other side will also come. There are no conditions between it; it becomes oneness. And when there is no oneness, then there is duality. You do not see two; you see one. One great saint said, "The street of love is so narrow, two cannot walk together." Both have to become one in order to come through. Jab main thā vo nahī̃, ab vo hai to main nahī̃. Prem galī atī sā̃karī, jisme do na samāī. The street of love is so narrow, the two cannot come together there, cannot walk together. You have to become one. And that oneness means not physically, but inwardly, in feeling. If you take this message as it is and give it further, that will bring world peace. That will bring understanding in society.
