I am giving you this scale to find out if you are in love or not.
In a relationship, when you are really in love, money becomes useless.
I tell you, suddenly money loses its power over you. Money will look fake and useless. It will not matter to
your life anymore. If you feel that, only then you are in love.
I am not saying that when you are in love, you will throw all the money in the streets. No. But suddenly
your thought is not centered on money anymore. It is centered on the other person.
Man has only two centric ways of thinking: money centric or fulfillment centric. When you are in love, the
fulfillment center is awakened, and it does not let you think about money or about future security.
I always tell people, even if you have one question about future security, you are not in love, you have not experienced love. When that fear disappears from your inner space, even your sweat will not smell. There will be a beautiful Ananda Gandha around you; the fragrance of love, the fragrance of bliss, which puts anybody who comes in your breathing space into that same state. It is not just a Yogic quality. Even ordinarily, when you are in love, the concept of insecurity will suddenly disappear and the concept of money will disappear. You will start thinking from the fulfillment center.
At least once in your life, you should experience the space where money just suddenly loses its power over you. If you feel that, only then you are in love. Understand this one thing: when your love is awakened, suddenly your thinking becomes fulfillment-based, and insecurity fades way.
When you cannot even fall in ordinary human love, you cannot fall in ultimate, divine love. You cannot open that channel. Only with ultimate divine love, can the patterns be broken, melted. You enter into the pattern-less space where you live from freedom to freedom, move from freedom to freedom, and your actions are from freedom to freedom; where your doing is freedom to freedom, and your being is freedom!
