Valentine or no Valentine, Love is It.  We should have one day set aside to make love the subject is an enigma to me. Everybody is born with, from, through love. Do not believe that sin has anything to do with it. Fact remains that this love is curbed from day one. Love makes one a rebel. Love is freedom, is courage to stand up against the lies.  Jesus love for mankind ended him on the cross, since before His time love has been outlawed. Hate is the permitted emotion, love is not. To show your love for your country, you have to hate other countries, to show love for your church, you must not love other religions. Crusades, inquisitions, Jihad (Holy Wars), Holocausts and what not in the name of religion has gone on since time memorial. How can a country have soldiers if love is there? While love is your natural state of being it has become almost impossible to love. Society does not allow it. Man has been distorted by religion and politics so that hate is easy. Love is dangerous because it makes one an individual and the state and  the church does not want individuals, they want sheep who follow what they say. Humanity is reduced to a crowd of slaves. They still look like human beings, but their souls have been crushed utterly, almost beyond repair. The best way to destroy man is to destroy his spontaneity of love. If man has love, there can't be nations, they exist on hate: Pakistan and India, Israel and Palestine, Guinea and Congo, the list is endless. And if love appears, who will go to the temple, the church, for what? It is because love is missing that people are searching for God. God is nothing but a substitute for your missing love. If your life is a dance, ecstatic, blissful, peaceful, you have attained God already. The loving heart is full of God, otherwise who bothers? Hence, the priest and the politician are against love in humanity, the politician wants to rule your material existence, the priest wants to rule your soul. And the secret is to destroy your love. Man becomes hollow, empty, meaningless. Then they can do whatever they want with humanity, nobody will have the courage to rebel. Love gives courage. Love takes away all fear and the oppressors depend on your fear. You are surrounded by fear, security guards, insurance, an invented Hell to end up if you not follow the priest...Deep down man trembles and hates. Hate is a natural outcome of fear. A man full of fear is full of anger. By poisoning your love energy they have created a split in you, a civil war inside and you are always in conflict and your energy is dissipated. Hence your life has no zestfulness, cheerfulness. It is not  overflowing with energy; it is dull, insipid. It is unintelligent.  Love sharpens intelligence, fear dulls it. Those in power do not  want you. intelligent, because you will see the whole strategy, their games. They want you to be stupid and mediocre. They certainly want you to be efficient as far as work is concerned, but not Intelligent. Humanity lives at its lowest of its potential. Scientific researchers say that man uses only 5 pro cent from his potential intelligence in his whole life. The extraordinary man like Einstein  Mozart , Michelangelo, say the scientists uses up to ten percent, and geniuses maybe 15 percent. Think of a world where people use 100 percent of their potential. Even the Gods will be jealous,  it will be paradise on earth. But right now it is hell. If man was left alone, unpoisoned, then love was simple. Like water flowing downward, like trees blossoming, birds singing. But man is distorted from the day he is born, to such extend that most will never become aware that they are living a false life, a pseudo life, that he is not living as he was meant to live, that he is somehow  living a plastic life, that he is not his real soul.  That is why millions of people are living in misery because they feel  that they are not their own self, that something has gone wrong.  when the child is left alone, allowed to grow, helped to be in harmony  with nature and with himself, if he is supported, nourished , encouraged  to be himself, a light unto himself, then love is simple. One will  simply be loving. Hate will be impossible. Before you can hate, you  first have to be poisoned yourself. One can only give something that  one has. Hate is unnatural, love is a state of health. Hate is a  state of illness, just as illness is unnatural, it happens when you  are out of harmony v~with nature.Hatred .is only symbol of illness, love h  one of health and wholeness and holiness. Love should be the most natural  thing , but it is not, it is the most difficult thing. Hindus hate  Mohammedans, Jews hate Moslems, Christians hate pagans. The way to  show love is to hate others. You are in a mess because you hear talk  of love from the priest but it does not happen. At the same time he  scares you with sin, damnation and hell. Love has been poisoned but   cannot be destroyed. The poison can be thrown out, you can be cleansed.  That is what it means to be reborn, to become a new man. Society can  not keep you a slave to its lies if you decide to be free. Begin a  new life, a natural way of life, a non repressive way of life. A   life not of renunciation but of rejoicing. Hate is like an illness that has  some advantages that love cannot have. Be watchful. The ill person  gets sympathy from everyone; nobody hurts him, everybody is careful  j of what they say to him, he is so ill. He is the focus, the center,  he is important. And if he becomes too attached to this importance he  never wants to be healthy again: he will cling to his illness. Once   healthy he will lose the center of attention, he will be a nobody     again. ten you hate, your ego is fulfilled. The ego can exist only  when it hates, because in hating you feel superior. In hating you become  separate, you become defined, you attain a certain identity. In love the  ego has to disappear. In love you are no more separated love helps you  to dissolve with others. It is a meeting and a merger. If you are too  much attached to the ego, then hate is easy, and love is most difficult.  Be alert, watchful: hate is the shadow of ego, and love needs great  courage. It needs courage because it needs the sacrifice of the ego. Only  those who are ready to become nothing, utterly empty of themselves  are ready and able to receive the gift of love from the beyond. If you  are watchful, love will become simple and hate becomes impossible.  And the day hate becomes impossible and love becomes natural, you have  arrived home. Then there is nowhere to go , to look; God has been  achieved. To be absolutely natural is all that is meant by finding  God. Happy Valentines day, every day in love, happy day.
