Love always makes one nervous.
There are reasons why it makes one nervous. It comes from the unconscious, and all your capacities are in the conscious; all your skill, all your knowledge, is in the conscious. Love comes from the unconscious and you don’t know how to cope with it, what to do with it, and it is too much.
The unconscious is nine times bigger than the conscious, so whatsoever comes from the unconscious is overwhelming. That’s why people are afraid of emotions, feelings. They hold them back, they are afraid they will create chaos.
They do, but chaos is beautiful!
There is a need for order, and there is a need for chaos, too. When order is needed, use order, use the conscious mind; when chaos is needed, use the unconscious and let chaos be. A whole person, a total person, is one who is capable of using both, who does not allow any interference of the conscious into the unconscious or of the unconscious into the conscious.
We believe in life in its totality, in its days,
in its nights, the sunny days and the cloudy days.
We believe that everything in life can be enjoyed.
You need just a little more awareness,
more consciousness of what is happening.
You are not your mind, you are not your body.
There is a witness somewhere inside you
who can go on looking at the mind, at the emotions,
at the physiological reactions.
That witness is you.
And that witness is capable of enjoying everything,
once you get centered there.

Your mind feels misery, suffering; it feels all kinds of emotions, attachments, desires and longings, but it is all the projection of the mind.
Behind the mind is your real self, which has never gone anywhere. It is always here and here.
