You might be existing here without even knowing “what is me.” This “me” is not a simple me. This “me” is the Ultimate. This same “me” which can make a banana into a human being also created the whole cosmic scape. It is not a different “me.” So, the choice is just this – either you can exist here just as a piece of creation or you can exist here as the very Creator himself.
If you love the Creator, you hold Him as the highest, you hold Him above creation. He is the Creator. Seeing Him, being with Him would be the highest. If you have no trust in Him, then you talk in terms of existence, of no-mind and all these things. The moment there is no trust, the whole issue becomes terribly complicated. Then you have to split hairs to do things, simply because love is missing. Trust means unconditional love. It is that kind of love where the other
side need not respond. You simply love.
Some sage or saint might have talked about loving God, but now that you have a logical mind, a thinking mind, a doubting mind and a questioning mind, don’t talk about loving God, it doesn’t make any sense. The only reason you have started thinking about God or the Creator is because you have experienced the creation. Before you came, all that you call as creation was there, so you just assumed that somebody must have created it, and you started giving names and forms to that Creator.
So, your idea of the Creator has come to you only through the creation. Now you hate the creation, you hate the person sitting next to you, and say that you love God, it doesn’t mean anything. It will not lead you anywhere, because if you hate the creation, what business do you have with the one who created all this? Only if you have fallen deeply in love with the creation, then you have something to do with the one who created this. In the name of divinity, do not forsake your humanity. Let your humanity overflow and the Divine will happen.
Creation is the only way or the only doorway to the Creator. If you reject the creation, you can’t know anything about the Creator. So don’t worry about loving God. See if you can bring love into your breath, into your step, into every act that you do, not towards anybody or anything; if you can just bring the longing to merge with everything around you, then creation will lead you on to the Creator.
