JAI SAI RAM!!!
We are carrying incredible worlds within our souls, and we are not aware of them. We have the seeds of incredible experiences of love, ecstasy, but we have never allowed them to explode over our being, we have never allowed them to pulsate us. The whole effort here is to make you able to pulsate, to vibrate with your inner rhythm, with no inhibitions, with no taboos.
And the day you can feel love for your parents, you feel love for the whole existence. The day you can feel love for your parents is the day you understand that god is! God is dead because parents are dead!
Once you start feeling how grateful you are to your parents.... They have given you birth, they have brought you in life; it is because of them you breathe, you love, you see, you hear. These green trees, those flowers, this wind -- all this is possible because of your parents.... Then you start feeling a great gratitude arising towards the whole.
Psychologists say that god is a projection of your father. In a very roundabout way they are right. They use this thing as if they are condemning god -- that is not true, but god is in a way related to the feeling that you have for your father, for your mother. Once you are cut from your parents you are cut from existence itself. Then you become an island; you don't have any continuity with the totality. You are a freak, a stranger, you don't know why you are here. There is no meaning, because meaning exists with the whole.
When you are related to your parents, you are related to the whole past. It is infinite! When you are related to your parents you start feeling related to the future too.
Because if you are related to your parents, only then can you be related to your children; there is no other way.
If you are not related to your parents, how can you be related to your children? If you are cut off from your parents you will feel cut off from your children. They will be just accidental. You can tolerate them at the most but you cannot really love them.
Love exists with this continuity: in the past, the parents -- in the future, the children. And when you see this continuity -- that one day you were not, one day you will again be no more, but this life into which you come and disappear continues, this ocean of life continues and you are just like a wave in it.
... That oceanic existence is what god is.
