To love the Truth is to not lie to yourself. That sounds like the simplest thing ever, but it is the rarest thing in this world: being truthful with yourself. In the ego, you put pleasure ahead of the Truth. When you love the Truth, you really appreciate Love, Peace... you love God! The Master fosters this love for the Truth within us since, in this contact with Him, we end up realizing there is so much Beauty, so much Intelligence, so much Freedom in Him. And if This grows within us, the love for the Truth grows, the love for God grows, and then we stop lying.
When you stop lying, you stop suffering since there is no longer "someone" present to come into conflict, to keep thinking, trying to solve things. Everything starts to be delegated to the Divine. In other words, everything starts to be surrendered to God. He knows everything. He decides everything! The secret of Peace is the absence of thoughts. The presence of Peace is "I don't know," "I don't solve anything," "I don't decide," "I don't make choices," and that means not lying. It means love for God. Love for the Guru is love for God, love for Truth, and that is love for Yourself.
You cannot give the world what you do not have. You cannot give Peace to others. You cannot give this to your husband, children, relatives nor people you are in a relationship with. You cannot give others what you do not have for yourself. You realize Peace when you live in this Unknown, in this Reality, which is free from lies, free from this false center, this false "me," which believes it thinks, controls, can do, accomplishes… This is egoic life, a lie's life. There is no Truth in living in the ego. There is no love for God, there is no love for the Guru, there is no love for Consciousness when you are lying to yourself. And all the ego knows is to lie, all the time, inside your head.
You embrace the Truth when you are Happy, and not when you are thinking, choosing, solving, deciding, doing everything your way. Your way is always confused, never real – it is the control way, the "person's" way! The joy of living in Peace and Happiness, without illusion and lies, is very much needed
It is not to others that you lie. It is not to others that you do not give Peace. One of the egoic mind's absurd things is this… it believes it can give Peace, Freedom, Love, Happiness to others. The ego cannot give This, for the ego is in conflict with itself! If you are identified with this false entity, this false "person," living the lie of this false center, of this false "me," you do not know what Love is. You do not know what Freedom is. You do not know what Peace is. You do not know what Happiness is. So, how are you going to give someone This? Be internally Happy first! Find internally Peace and Freedom... Live free from this false "me"! Do not think!
When there is Intelligence, there is no need for thought. When you think, you do not sleep, you lose your hunger and things do not work out. When are you going to understand this? It is exactly the opposite. When there is no thought, things start moving and working out! When you do not think, you go to bed and sleep, you are normally hungry, you eat and you do not feel bad afterward. When you think with a full belly, you feel sick. You have heartburn and other even worse things. All of this when you think!
Thought is a problem! You need to find out what it's like to live without thought. Look at me: I live without thought! I am always here, in this Place! I do not need thought. You do not need thought! You are addicted to it. It is a kind of drug you cannot live without, but see what thought does in your head, in your body, in your relationships – just confusion! Look at the people around you – they are disturbed! Look closely and you will find out the reason: they are thinking, and thinking a lot! Full of suspicions, beliefs, guidelines… They know everything. They just do not know the main thing, which is to be happy! They solve everything by thinking. They just don't solve the foremost thing, which is to live free from the ego, free from suffering. Look at the smartest people you know and see if, deep down, they are really Intelligent.
