love

Love just happens. Nobody thinks about how to love, or when and where to love.Nobody is rational about love. Rational thought hinders love. Love is a sudden rising inthe heart. Love is an unavoidable, unobstructable longing for oneness. There is no logicin this. It is beyond logic. So do not try to be rational about love. It is like trying to givereasons for the river to flow, for the breeze to be cool and gentle, for the moon to glow,for the sky to be expansive, for the ocean to be vast and deep, or for the flower to befragrant and beautiful. Rationalisation kills the beauty and charm of these things. Theyare to be enjoyed, experienced, loved and felt. If you rationalise about them, you willmiss the beauty and charm and the feelings they evoke. Sit by the seashore. Look at it.Feel its vastness. Feel the rising up and down of the waves. Feel and be amazed at thecreation and the creator of such magnificence. What good will it do you to rationaliseabout the ocean?"
