LOVE is GOD

LOVE is GOD and GOD is Love

This is what Jesus Says....
First, LOVE is not intellectual, it is not philosophical. It is not concerned with intellectual problems and inquiries. If you try to understand LOVE philosophically, you will fail. Rather try to understand it scientifically.

Science is not concerned with why, science is concerned with how. That is the basic difference between philosophy and science. Philosophy asks, ”Why this Love?” Science asks, ”How to Love?” The moment you ask the question, how?, method, technique, become important. Theories become meaningless; experience becomes the center.

Love is science, Love is not philosophy. To understand philosophy is easy because only your intellect is required. If you can understand language, if you can understand concept, you can  understand philosophy. You need not change; you require no transformation. As you are, you can understand philosophy – but not love. You will need a change... rather, a mutation.

Unless YOU are different LOVE cannot be understood, because LOVE is not an intellectual proposition, it is an experience. Unless you are receptive, ready, vulnerable to the experience, it is not going to come to you.

Philosophy is concerned with the mind. Your head is enough; your totality is not required. LOVE needs you in your totality. It is a deeper challenge. You will have to be in it wholly. It is not fragmentary. A different approach, a different attitude, a different mind to receive it is required.

Really, any question can be tackled in two ways: philosophically or totally, intellectually or existentially. For example, if someone asks, ”What is love?” you can tackle it intellectually, you can discuss, you can propose theories, you can argue for a particular hypothesis. You can create a system, a doctrine – and you may not have known love at all.

Really, on the contrary, the less you know the better because then you can propose a system unhesitatingly. Only a blind man can easily define what light is. When you do not know you are bold. Ignorance is always bold; knowledge hesitates. And the more you know, the more you feel that the ground underneath is dissolving. The more you know, the more you feel how ignorant you are. And those who are really wise, they become ignorant. They become as simple as children, or as simple as idiots.


The less you know, the better. To be philosophical, to be dogmatic, to be doctrinaire – this is easy. To tackle a problem intellectually is very easy. But to tackle a problem existentially – not just to think about it, but to live it through, to go through it, to allow yourself to be transformed through it – is difficult.  

That is, to know love one will have to be in love. That is dangerous because you will not remain the same. The experience is going to change you. The moment you enter love, you enter a different person. And when you come out you will not be able to recognize your old face; it will not belong to you. A discontinuity will have happened. Now there is a gap, the old man is dead and the new man has come. That is what is known as rebirth – being twice-born.
