The main thing that we need to do is, to honor one thing. What is that one thing? It is nothing! You need to learn to honor nothing!
Before doing anything, there is nothing. After doing anything, there is nothing. So, nothing is really what everything is! Honor that nothing, which is everything! That is Nirvana! That is Salvation of Jesus! That is Nirvana of Buddha! That is Mukti or moksha of Shankaracharya of the Vedic tradition!
Before any emotion, there is nothing. After any emotion, there is nothing. What is always there is nothing!
See how happy you have become! Everything is nothing!
Some pleasant things happen in life, some unpleasant things happen in life; some people scold you, some people praise you, but finally, everything is nothing! Many relationships come and many relationships go, finally, everything is nothing! Got it?
Life has appeared out of nothing, and goes back to nothing, why hanker for this and that? Everything is done, anyway. All is nothing! Lord Buddha called this the Heart Sutra, which is, ‘Everything is nothing!’
When you know that everything is nothing, love dawns in you. Otherwise, ‘I want this! I want to hold on to this!’ Ego comes up then. When you realize that everything is nothing, ego dissolves. When ego dissolves, love comes up and that is what you already are!
A love that is universal, eternal; this is the craving of every human being, and you can get it through the Heart Sutra. What is the Heart Sutra? When you realize that everything is nothing!
