True love is like being dettached from material possesions in a way. Because true love does not ask for anything in return, not even love. How can we claim to honestly love another person, if we dont have love for everything and everyone as a whole? Why do we get angry, annoyed, or upset with our significant other? Why do we feel jealous of them, why do we distrust them when they are giving undivided attention to another person? It is because we dont really love them, we love ourselves. Becuase if we did truly love them, we would not ask for emotions, we would not ask for love to be given back to us. It is like a person who writes poems and desires fame, and a person who writes poems and cares not if anyone reads them. You either desire praise in return for your effort, or you are happy with what you are, not asking for anything else. Not desiring to better yourself. How can you better yourself, without first understanding what it is that your truly are? Same with our family. How do we love our children? When our child is sick, we feel bad. But do we feel bad for our children? Or do we feel bad for ourself? If you really loved your child, you would not push them to be confined to the prison of conformity. You would teach them to have unconditional love and to be free. Not to be like yourself. And to truly be free, to truly have love, not divine love, or personal love, but love of all without desire, we must create an atmosphere to live in that is free of fear. Fear makes you conform, fear makes you want money, cars, a nice house, a beautiful wife, a religion to believe in. And what is religion, really? What is God? Think of your mind like a window that has collected the dust of many generations of superstition. Do you know what a soul is? Or do you know what youve been told a soul is? Clean off the window, search for God yourself, dont rely on what others have taught you. Clean away all the dust, the illusion, wipe it totally clean, and then, and only then, can you truly see for yourself what God is. God is not in a temple, God is not in an icon or a statue. A statue is like a shadow of the Truth, but it is not the Truth itself. Just as a shadow of yourself is not really you. Love, Freedom, Truth, God; these things can only truly be understood by your person, your true Self, when you have no fear, when you do not conform to the social machine that EVERYONE around you is pushing you into. We must be constantly in revolt, internally and externally. Truth may only be discovered when we are constantly in a state of dissatisfaction with everything. But, we must know how to be in such a state of unrest and dissatisfaction while maintaining and inner joy at the same time. And you can not know that you are happy, that is not true happiness. Happiness is felt only when you arent searching for it. And we are ALL searching for happiness. It is like when we are having fun, time flies by and we live life for what it really is; in the moment. But the moment we notice we are feeling happy, the happiness fades and ceases to be. So do not search for happiness, just live. As we can say to the student and the teacher; I AM ALWAYS LEARNING. There is no enlightenment, no way to know everything, even the teachers must be taught to dispell fear. Fear will cause you decay and misery. True Love and true Freedom is brought on by yourself when you learn how to BE yourself, without desire to be like another (envy). God is everywhere, but no one but yourself can see for yourself what God is.
