00:00Suffering doesn't mean to suffer and be painful,
00:05but suffering can be also loving.
00:10You see, when you go through a certain path,
00:13you go through suffering,
00:17it appears only as suffering outside,
00:21but inside it is loving.
00:26That's why it is said that love is always pain, no?
00:32You know the saying?
00:35Why do you think they say that?
00:41Because when you approach love,
00:46you have to let go of the mind, you have to let go of...
00:53You see, when two persons, let's say, in a normal human relationship,
00:58two persons love each another,
01:00there's always a certain submission to that love, no?
01:04A certain compromising to that love.
01:08Isn't it?
01:11Right?
01:13So, throughout this compromising, sometimes it's burning like fire, no?
01:17Sometimes it explodes.
01:22So, like that,
01:24going through love for God is the same, you know?
01:30When you love Him,
01:31there is this great
01:34love, but sometimes you can't comprehend it.
01:36Because as being human, you have a mind.
01:39The mind wants to comprehend, the mind wants to understand.
01:42But how come the mind can understand the love of God?
01:45How come the mind, how long would the mind
01:50comprehend what is happening?
01:52There's a point where the mind comes to a
01:54stop
01:56position.
02:00Then this love takes over completely.
02:04In the life of Meera Bhai,
02:09she was
02:11a princess, she didn't have any, she didn't like anything.
02:15But her love for Krishna
02:20made her crazy.
02:25That's why we say, crazy in love.
02:29She was crazy in love.
02:35And in her craziness,
02:39she
02:40makes everybody around her crazy.
02:45That's what love does.
02:50Because she was crazy for Krishna,
02:53her whole vibration of her body,
02:55her whole
02:57love,
02:58only the appearance outside was crazy.
03:01But nobody could stop her, nobody would dare to stop her,
03:04because everybody was enjoying that love.
03:08Chaitanya Mahaprabhu,
03:10you know, when he was
03:13going,
03:14running like mad everywhere,
03:19it appeared mad.
03:21It appeared mad.
03:22But yet, the moment everybody, the person, somebody
03:26come into contact with that love,
03:28one gets intoxicated
03:30with that love.
03:33And one becomes also crazy.
03:37That's what happened when once Chaitanya Mahaprabhu
03:40fell
03:42into the water, into the sea,
03:47and there were some fishermen,
03:51they caught him in the net.
03:53So, as they tried to take him out from the net,
03:58they were infused with the same love.
04:06So, they became, they have the same power, they have the same emotion,
04:11emotion,
04:15vibration,
04:17awakening inside of them.
04:20But they, they were like him,
04:24just by touching him.
04:26So, their wife complained to Mahaprabhu,
04:29said, listen, you have taken sannyas, you have renounced the world,
04:32but these people have their family.
04:36Please,
04:39return our husband to us.
04:42Here, which is, everybody, you know,
04:46through how many penance they have reached that level,
04:49through the grace of Lord Chaitanya,
04:52you see how the world catches up,
04:55how maya catches up.
04:58Please, return us back.
05:01Mahaprabhu smiled and said,
05:06go, take some rice from
05:08this merchant there,
05:10feed it to your husband.
05:13They would come back to that sense.
05:16They went and gave it rice, finished.
05:18They lost that grace completely.
05:23So, that's what love does, you know.
05:26Love
05:28intoxicates the love for God.
05:35Once you perceive it, once it's awake inside of you,
05:39you can just give, nothing else.
05:43And whoever comes into that contact
05:46with that love,
05:48even if it appeared outside to be
05:51in a suffering way or crying, whatever,
05:53but inside the soul,
05:56the joy of the soul,
05:59the soul is rejoicing.
06:02What is outside?
06:04Outside is, will finish.
06:06Whatever you see outside have an end to it.
06:08But what you have inside of you is eternal.
06:12Realize your atma, you become eternal, you know.
06:15You realize that you have this,
06:21the ultimate is sitting inside of you.
06:25It's just your own being is the ultimate itself.
06:31How would you realize it?
06:32It's through this love.
06:37And this love will awake only when you are ready,
06:40when you make yourself ready,
06:42when you really want it, you know,
06:44not superficially, you know,
06:47but sincerely.
06:48So you're ready.
06:52The tunnel, the road.
