Swami
Vishwananda looking like a Maharaja of Ancient India
(Maharaja means Great King)
You know how
beautiful it is? For sure you know... all of you have fallen in love, haven’t you? Haven’t you? (The audience laughs). But
none of you have answered me. Have you really fallen in love? (Audience: “Yes,
but it was terrible“…laughing). Yes, you see, as long as love is with expectation,
it will always be terrible. But when you love, when you realize yourself being
the source of love, it’s not terrible. It’s the most joyful thing, the most
beautiful thing. Still, love is just a word that I say to you. It’s up to each
one of you to experience it, like a small child. If a small child came walking
into this room, he would just experience love; he wouldn’t bother about
anything around.
Sri Swami Vishwananda
Swamini Vishwalakshmianandama: It can be that when one meets the heart Guru, one "falls in Divine Love," which is different, but even more exhilarating, than "falling in love," in the human love stories. Have you ever wondered, as I have, that until enlightenment, this exhilaration of the time of "first falling in love with the Guru," is the source of so-called "Guru-hopping", just like changing partners in human love?
