Introduction:

LOVE If the cosmos is a grand ocean, we are all part of it. We are one with the ocean, not individual drops in the ocean. When we think of ourselves as individual drops, we feel separate in our boundary and in our feelings. This is what is called ego. We become driven by feelings of 'I' and 'mine'. As long as this separation remains, we never experience the energy of the ocean that is love, we can never experience that causeless and surging love. As long as we remain a drop in the ocean, we say 'no' to life. We neither love nor trust. We don't feel blissful either because bliss is possible only for those who know how to love and trust. It happens only to those who know how to feel part of the ocean. Bliss is possible only when our heart says 'yes' , when the 'no' completely disappears from our being. 'No' is darkness, 'yes' is light. 'No' is ego, 'yes' is egolessness. 'No' is the way of the unconscious person. 'Yes' is the way of the awakened one. All the conflict, all the suffering in our life is because of our saying 'no'. 'No' is a fight, a war with Existence. 'Yes' is love, peace with Existence. 'Yes' is deep accord with the totality of who we are the ocean.

Bliss is another name for that accord, that harmony. The way to be in bliss is to dissolve into the ocean, not to be a drop but to merge with the ocean. To be a drop is to be with ego. The ego is the root of all misery. When the ego is absent, bliss reaches us from every nook and corner of the ocean of existence, as if it were just waiting for the ego to disappear. Ego is a closed state of consciousness. All the windows and doors are closed. Life itself becomes insulated and encapsulated. Our ego surrounds us like a capsule. Our ego is like a sealed capsule; there is not even a small gap to allow anything to enter. It closes itself due to fear and shrinks into itself. That is how we create misery for ourselves.

Love without purpose is real love. Love without any condition, causeless love, unconditional love is real love. Love opens our inner space, gives us unity, tremendous courage and energy. Love can makes us finally available to ourselves.

Ego is like frozen ice and love is like liquid water. Consciousness can do two things. It can create ego, or it can create egoless. If it creates ego we live in hell, if it creates egoless we live in paradise.

To make them aware of the topic of ego, I, mine, how ego closes inner space and Love opens us to the energy of Love. Cause them to choose to live egoless way and experience paradise.
