Be Addicted to the Drug of Love - 22 May 08

Swami Ji

Very often I meet people who say from themselves that they are spiritual and that they live a spiritual life. However not all of them have the same idea about this like me. Many people say that they have visions and after some talk it turns out that they use to take drugs and get high through this. But it is not at all spiritual to get high by smoking or taking drugs. If you give anything to your body that changes your consciousness, it is a drug.

This happens all over the world, also in India. And in the Western World I unfortunately meet many young people who received wrong guidance from someone and think they experience spirituality when they are on drugs. They are not in control of themselves in these times. Drugs are controlling them and often on my way these people feel attracted by my energy. They have a spiritual interest but they are on the wrong way.

Sometimes I cannot help them. I want to and I give them love but they do not want to make a decision to leave this addiction. Some of them don’t have the willpower to decide it and others think their energy is very high when they take these drugs. And when they see that I do not appreciate that at all they often go away from me. I told about my idea of a centre for youth without any drugs, alcohol or cigarettes. I would like to introduce to the young people the most powerful drug that does not harm your brain and your energetic field: Love. It can bring you in real ecstasy and you can be happier than with any drug! I feel that if you have love you do not need any drug, you do not need anything that changes your consciousness. You have love, that is enough.

Love is most certainly a drug! It can give you the greatest highs and lowest withdrawals. I can personally say that I have been addicted to the feelings of love. It can actually be somewhat of a negative thing, if you are dependent on the love of other people. I think maybe the cure to this addiction is to be your own source of love so that it never runs dry! Of course you can receive love from others and give them your love, but you won't be dependent or reliant on the love from others because you are your own beautiful wellspring of love!

LOVE IS THE DRUG!!! besides it's really our true nature whereas other drugs mostly keep us away from ourselves

Words of Wisdom

  • Followers

    Real followers always need someone to follow. When they get disappointed by the person they are following, they search for another one.

    Source
  • Love

    You cannot buy anybody’s love. If you want love, give love. The world of love is very different from this material world. Not even a millionaire can buy someone’s love. Maybe their body but not their love.

    Source
  • Relationship

    Physical closeness is the key for successful relationships.

    Source
  • Scriptures

    The scriptures of any religion, culture or country can be written by very intelligent people of old times and we can see them as great literature but they should not be taught to children as ideals of how to behave though. They are fiction and many of them are full of blood and violence, creating an illusion for children that this behavior could be religious and good.

    Source
  • Expectations

    Make yourself happy while helping others without expectations.

    Source
  • Children

    Children and teenagers need a balance of control and freedom.

    Source
  • Ego

    Fighting your ego - a continuous struggle with yourself?

    Source
  • Respect

    The coming generation will not forgive and forget violence in their childhood. If you hit your children, they will not keep a loving relationship with you, so don’t even start it!

    Source
  • Love

    The great Indian culture says that falling in love is a crime. You teach your daughters not to talk to male college classmates but expect them to sleep with a complete stranger after their wedding.

    Source
  • Expectations

    Don't expect more of yourself than your natural limits allow!

    Source
  • God

    Believers cheat themselves by thinking god created everything bad for a reason.

    Source
  • Positivity

    A positive attitude from your side will also change your surroundings.

    Source
  • God

    Is God trustworthy? Should you really have faith in someone you never met?

    Source
  • Personal

    I can’t change my past and I don’t want to. I am who I am and don’t deny any part of that. I keep my personal history open for you to see. Maybe it will show you the way out of a religion, out of a sect, away from a fake guru and from superstition and towards taking your own responsibility.

    Source
  • Sex

    Don’t set the moral standards for another person higher than for yourself!

    Source
  • Religion

    People prefer making religious donations rather than charity donations to secure a seat in heaven by giving to a preacher or temple.

    Source
  • Change

    If someone refuses to change while you yourself are developing, it can happen that you grow apart. At that point of life, you meet new people who can go along with your new view on the world. It is fine and a part of the change which we accepted in our lives.

    Source
  • Religion

    If you want to believe in the original form of Hinduism, you cannot convert to it. You are either Hindu-born or you are non-Hindu. If you follow any Guru or sect, you are a member of a Hindu-based sect or cult, not a Hindu!

    Source
  • Victim

    Being a victim is not a cure. It can be a tendency of behaviour and you have to be brave and leave it. You need to have the strength to step out of the role of being a victim.

    Source
  • Life

    Learning is not only for children. Life can always teach you something, your age doesn’t matter. It is wonderful to be curious for something new, something you have not experienced yet.
