Early Morning Buddhist Inspiration - 5/19/2010


"Love implies great freedom-not to do what you like. But love comes only when the mind is very quiet, disinterested, not self-centered. These are not ideals. If you have no love, do what you will-go after all the gods on earth, do all the social activities, try to reform the poor, the politics, write books, write poems-you are a dead human being. And without love your problems will increase, multiply endlessly. And with love, do what you will, there is no risk; there is no conflict. Then love is the essence of virtue. And a mind that is not in a state of love is not a religious mind at all. And it is only the religious mind that is freed from problems, and that knows the beauty of love and truth."

~Jiddu Krishnamurti
