“We are not human beings on a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey.”

I never desire for that emancipation and tranquility unattainable by the sacred bond of love.

        I have no liking for the heart and supernatural powers acquired with the help of it – the heart that is harder than thunderbolt and, becoming devoid of emotions, remains unmoved by the aspirations and sensations like a stone, whose shore can never become wet by the almost adjacent ocean of love, O dear ascetic!

        I never aspire for that liberation and tranquility which are attainable only at the cost of love.

        I have enjoyed the deliciousness of liberation and peace through these fragrant flowers, beautiful bowers, and the sweet music of birds therein.  Consequently I cannot but declare that my liberation lies in love.  Liberation without love is not acceptable to me.  And even if it exists at all, it has no worth, it ceases of its attraction for me.

(From Shri Yogeshwarji's book entitled 'Tunes unto the Infinite')
