Kal chichana hai khara,
jag piyare meet
Ram sanehi bahire,
kyo sobay nihchint.

The death hawk is standing, my dear friend awake.
Affectionate Ram is standing, why then are you sleeping carelessly.

Kabir says – WAKE UP…
It is mind that is your sleep. You are sleeping either in the past or in the future. Both are ways of sleeping. When Kabir says, “Wake up!” again and again, a simple phenomenon is indicated.
Come to the present.

THIS HAS BEEN THE CALL OF ALL THE BUDDHAS down the centuries.
When the Buddhas call “Wake up! Wake up!” What do they mean? They mean that your heart is asleep. Your head is very awake, but the awakening of the head is in reality a metaphysical sleep. Unless the heart wakes up, you are only dreaming – dreams and dreams, even dreams that you are awake, dreams of wakefulness, dreams of becoming religious, dreams of becoming saints, holy, but they are all dreams.

People even think about God! It is such an absurdity. People even try to prove God through arguments. God cannot be proved, because anything that can be proved can also be disproved. If God depends on logic, then logic is God, then logic is higher than God.

No, God does not depend on logic. In fact, if you are too logical, you will not be able at all to sense the presence of God in existence. And the loss is going to be yours, because not to feel the presence of God in existence is to miss the whole point of life.

God is known through the heart! Let it sink deep into your being: God is only known through the heart. So when the Buddhas say “Wake up!” they mean let your heart be awake. And what is the meaning of the heart being awake? When the head is awake, it thinks, it spins, weaves, beautiful systems of thought. And when the heart is awake, it sings songs of love. It celebrates – just the sheer joy of being is enough to celebrate. It loves – the love is unaddressed; the love is not flowing towards a particular object. When the heart is awake, it starts flowing in all directions. It loves the whole, it simply loves – it is love.

Religion is a celebration. You cannot be indoctrinated in religion, because religion is not a doctrine at all. It is a very mad love affair.
