Beloved Bhakti,
Love. The mind always thinks in terms of the self.
It is ego-centric.
During the French revolution a man from Paris stopped at a village and was asked by a friend what was happening.
"They are cutting off heads by thousands," said the visitor.
"How terrible!" cried the villager. "That could ruin my hat business!"
But this is the way of the mind.
And because of this it is never in tune with the cosmos.
So how can it know LIFE?
It cannot know it, because it cannot be one with it.
Really with the mind there is no knowing - but only superficial acquaintance.
The intimate and deep knowing comes only with NO- MIND.
And meditation is dissolving mind into NO-MIND.
