“Love is one of the most divine qualities. One can enter into God from many doors, and love is one of the most beautiful doors to enter into God. Love is the most beautiful
path towards God, but one has to go on purifying the path of love.
The ordinary love is full of jealousy, anger, hatred, possessiveness, ego and domination.
These are the parasites of love, which have to be removed so that love becomes purer,
alive and intense.
First love is a relationship with another person and then love becomes a friendship.
Then love becomes only a loving quality of our heart, and ultimately love becomes love
itself. We become love. That is divine love. The path of love ultimately leads to God.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, The Way of the Heart

“Man needs peace, not war. Man needs love, not violence. We have been tortured enough with ideas of heros, war, propaganda, hate, destruction and violence.
Science has given us enough of destructive power and weapons that i f we go living in accordance with the old destructive values then and ideals humanity is finished.
The future belong to the new man, to the intelligent and creative people, not to the soldier.


Only love can give us the balance. Humanity has lived

against love up to now, and that is why there is so much

misery, hate, violence and destruction in the world. This is

because humanity has lived in a destructive way up to

now. Now there are only two alternatives: either

humanity changes or this is the end of humanity.



The time for the old values and ideals are over.We have to

live in accordance with a new life affirmative vision of life.”

“Prayer is the most beautiful flowering in existence. Prayer is the ultimate state of love. When one is loving, prayer becomes  natural.  One has to thank existence. Feeling thankful one bows down to the whole: to the trees, to the birds, to the animal, to the people, to the rivers, to the mountains and to all that us. 
When one is loving, prayer will come of its own accord. And when it comes of its own, it is neither Christian, Mohammendan or Hindu. It is simply prayer. Then it unites you, not only with humanity, but with trees, animals and rocks. It simply unites you with existence. 
It becomes a bridge to existence, which speaks from your heart to the heartbeat of the universe. Then the whole of life becomes prayer. 
Then to be is a prayer., And only when everything is prayer, one has come to know the mystery, which is at the centre of prayer. ”

“Religion is a paradox; you have to become nothing to become all. You have to become nobody to become a god. You have to prepare for nothingness, and then the whole descends in you. Jesus says that the meek, the humble and the egoless belong to the kingdom of God.  
So the person who is not is the greatest, and the person who thinks that he is the greatest is just an idiot. People like Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Napoleon Bonaparte,
 Adolf Hitler, Mussolini, Ghingis Khan, George W. Bush are basically stupid. Their whole desire is psychopathy, narcissism and megalomania. They create much suffering for themselves and other people. They go on stuffing their ego like a balloon, and then one day it bursts.
Every day the ego goes on becoming bigger and bigger, and a moment comes when the puncture of the balloon happens, and everything goes flat. The ego is the roots cause of it, it is bound to create hell for yourself and for other people. 
Egolessness is paradise. The moment that you are meek, humble and egoless, you will enter into the kingdom of God. Then the last should be first. To be egoless is to be in the kingdom of God. 
But everybody is trying to be the greatest. And the whole project is doomed from the beginning, because it cannot succeed. It has never succeeded, because it is against existence. It is trying to work against existence. 
Ego means that you are trying to win against the whole, which is not possible.The part can never win over the whole. No-ego means that you dissolve with the whole. Then suddenly life becomes a totally new  phenomenon. Then life has tremendous  love, silence, joy, truth, freedom and beauty.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, The Way of the Heart

“Meditation brings an inner unfoldment of love, silence, joy, creativity and compassion. When that inner potential becomes actual you are no more the same.
On the surface you are the same, but because your inner centre flowers, it is
radiated on your surface too. One becomes luminous.
And everything is sharpened by the inner flowering through meditation: your intelligence, your love, your creativity and your compassion.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, The Way of the Heart

“Man is not an isolated island, but we live with the false notion of being an island. We are part of the whole. We are not apart from the whole. We belong to the continent, and the continent is infinite.
The ego is an island,. but your being is not an island. To follow the dictates of the ego is to make a mess of your life, because it takes
you away from the unity of existence.
It is trying to create a separate entity, it is trying to be separate from the unity of existence. This is doomed to fail from the beginning, because it is not in accord with the law of existence. How can the three be separate from the earth? How can the leaf be separate from the tree?
The moment the tree is separate from the earth it is dead. Life is being with the tree. Life is part of the tree.
The larger your ego is, the more it suffocates our being, our life source. The moment you drop the ego, you are free. You are free
from all imprisonments. Then the whole universe belongs to you.
Then all the stars, rivers and mountains are part of you. To be in this unity is to be in joy.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, The Way of the Heart

“Man can live either as love or as an ego. These are the only two alternatives  in life. It is the only two alternative lifestyles. The ego is very attractive, because it promises great things, although it delivers nothing. The ego creates dreams and fantasies, but these fantasies take you further away from yourself. And to be away from yourself is to be away from God, the divine. 
Love is not at all persuasive. It will not prove itself. You have to choose love, because it does not propagate itself. When the ego fails, because of its deceptive dreams and mirages, it fails for intelligent people. For the stupdid people, it never fails. In that failure of the ego, one moves to egolessness.
This is what love is: love is egolessness. Now there is nowhere to go, nothing to achieve and your whole energy starts resting within yourself. And when your energy comes to rest at your center, one comes to know that one is not, only God is. 
One comes to know that God is my strength. One comes to know that God is my existence, hat God is my being. One comes to know that one is just a small manifestation of divine energy. To know it brings great joy. 
All worries disappears, all entities disappear, and now you know that there is somebody greater than you who takes care. You are his project to help you to be joyful. 
When you are inside yourself, you immediately hear the still, small voice within you - and that becomes your inner teacher, your inner guide and your guiding star. Then you have your own insight and you know what is right and wrong. Now you know that living according toone'e own being is to live authentically. That is the way of the spiritual person. ”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, The Way of the Heart

“The most important thing in life is to discover  your truth. Truth is there, because we are alive and conscious. We have to go deeper into our consciousness. And once we have found our consciousness, we have found truth. 
Once you know who you are, you have found truth. When you find truth, the outer world will be the same, nothing in the outside world has changed, but you will be a totally different person. The outside world will be the same, but nothing will be the same, because you will have a totally new perspective, which is eternal, timeless and deathless.
Now you will know that you were before birth, and you will be after death. Now you are free from all small things: life's failures and successes, richness and poverty and small pains and pleasures. 
Now you can remain centered in every kind of situation in life. Nothing will make you waver, your groundedness is solid and absolute. This integrity, groundedness and state of consciousness remains untouchedby everything. 
This is the goal of meditation. Once it is discovered, one can live with joy, grace and God within one's heart. ”

“Love is the quality of the heart. Love is really the only thing that is valuable. Things have prices, but they have no real value. Love has
no prize, but love has immense value. Love is the only experience that makes life meaningful. Love is the only experience that is not available in the marketplace.
Love is the only experience that is not of the world, and yet exists in the world. Love is the bridge between man and God. Only love can penetrate into the unknown.
Only people who know love know the richness, the joy, the poetry and the beauty of existence. Love is the source of all that is good, meaningful and beautiful.
Love opens the doors to the mysteries of life. Love opens the doors to the inner shrine of God.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, The Way of the Heart

“Love and trust are different expressions of the same phenomenon.Love is the beginning of trust, and trust is the culmination of love.  Then you can trust yourself, you can trust others and you can trust life.  
Trust happens in the heart. When the heart begins to resonate in a deepharmony with the whole, there is a meeting. That meeting is trust, and that is not possible without love. 
In the school of love, you learn the art of trust. Both love and trust have  dissapeared from the world.  Love exists no more. trust exists no more.
Love and trust are immensly beutiful. It is through love and trust that you will find the harmony with the whole.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, The Way of the Heart

“Man can either exist as an island isolated from existence, thinking himself separate
from existence, or man can live in harmony with existence. The first way is the way
of the ego. It is like trying to swim upstream in opposition to the stream of life. You may succeed for a while, but sooner or later you will become tired and exhausted.
The river is not fighting you. It is just your own idea of being separated that has created the whole problem. You tried to fight with life, and you got defeated.
The river is not responsible. If you had taken a different approach to life, if you had accepted to go with the river of life, there would have been no fight, no struggle, no frustration and no defeat. You would not have felt that existence was against you. You would not have felt that existence is your enemy.
Going with the river, floating with the river, you would have felt that the river was giving you strength. That is the way of the religious person. The first way, the way of the ego, is the way of the irreligious person. The second way, the way of the heart is to be in harmony with existence.
And the moment that you let go and merge with existence, God becomes your strength. Then there is great rejoicement in your heart. Then each moment becomes a joy without any fight, without any struggle. That is the joy of being religious.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, The Way of the Heart

“To say yes wholeheartedly is to be religious. It has nothing to do with a belief in a god. All that you need is wholehearted yes. All that you need is a total yes, so that not even a small fragment of no remains in the heart.
When you say a total yes, you become a light unto yourself. And this light starts to guide you on your path. Then no outer guide is needed.
When you say a total yes, you don't hold back. The total yes means to flow with life and to be available to life. The total yes means that non-resistance is all that is needed. We have to cooperate with life.
Our mind is very afraid of saying yes. The mind naturally resists saying yes. The mind lives through saying no. We have lived
with saying no for so many lives that we have forgotten the possibility of saying yes.
We have forgotten the possibility of saying yes to ourselves, to say to others and to say yes to all that is.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, The Way of the Heart

“Humanity is suffering from a lack of love. That is the basic problem of humanity. All other problems arise out of this basic problem. War, conflicts and poverty can disappear within minutes, because they are not the real problems.
The real problem is that love is missing. We have the technology to make the earth into a paradise, but we do not have the heart that can share and make the earth a paradise for everybody. Instead, science and technology are used to destroy. Seventy percent of every nation's income is wasted on war, violence and destructivity.
Humanity can become happy. The world if full of all that is needed to make humanity
happy. But inside man something is missing. The real heart is missing. Man has forgotten the language of love. Man lives through anger, violence, conflict, ignorance, jealousy, competition and war. These are the poisons of love.
A meditator has to drop all that goes against love. When the barriers to love are removed, love starts flowering, because love is our essential inner nature. The inner source of love is already within us. Once we find this
inner source, love becomes a golden light. it is a light that lights your path, it is a light that can light the path of many people and it is a light that can make you aware of God.
Love is the only light that can make you aware of the presence of God. It is love that can become the realization of God.”
