Love is the rebellion and love is the message.

August 15, 2011 in Emotions

Prem means love, mari means rebellion, angela means message or messenger. Love is the rebellion and love is the message. Love is the rebellion because society is very much against it.
MariangelaThe society is centered around the concept of war; its whole structure has arisen out of violence, hence it cannot be for love. If love comes into the world all the societies will simply collapse, because basically they are all war-oriented. rooted in conflict, rooted in competition, rooted in jealousy. How can they allow love to happen? So instead of love they supply plastic substitutes – marriage, etc.

Love is also the greatest revolution because in love you have to drop your ego, otherwise love remains a dream and never becomes a reality. One has to sacrifice the ego at the altar of love. That’s the only way to bring it down from the beyond into the heart. The ego is like a rock: remove the ego and you become available to love. God is nothing but the most intense experience of love, another name for the orgasmic experience of love. All the Buddhas, all the awakened ones, have been giving this simple message. But it has not been heard yet; man is deaf and blind.

By becoming a sannyasin you are taking a vow against deafness and blindness, that now you will try to be open to reality, vulnerable to existence, available to god.
