24. Sahavas Sayings

Love is such that the lover needs no asking to do anything.
                                               * * *
"By loving, your whole being will be changed and your life will end
in Freedom."
                                               * * *
"The gift of love is a rare gift of God, and rarely is one capable of
receiving it."
                                               * * *
"God is infinitely more vital to your existence than your breath
which is your very life. Ordinarily, life is associated with breath;
but you only become aware of this when breath is restricted
through exertion, and you only completely realize this when
breath is cut off altogether as when drowning. Similarly, you only
become aware that God is your existence when you pant for Him,
and you only finally realize Him when you drown in His Ocean of
divine Love."
                                              * * *
"It is difficult for one to understand the Spiritual Path, and still
more difficult to get on the Path."
                                              * * *
"What is fasting the mind? It is having no thoughts. But this is
impossible. But when you entrust your mind to me by constantly
remembering me, there are no thoughts left on which the mind
can feed. This fasting is the true and essential fasting. Starving the stomach may
benefit the health but it does not necessarily help spiritual
advancement."

"You say that you see me in dreams. These dreams arise from
your own impressions formed through your love and faith in me.
Do not attribute them to me. I have come into your midst to
awaken you from the long, drawn-out Dream of Illusion—not to
create more dreams for you!"
