Part 1LOVE FOR ME EXPECTS MUCH MORE THAN THIS None present here loves Me as I ought to be loved. You are not conscious of My real State, because you do not love Me as I love you. The Mandali is fully prepared to lay down their lives for Me. Even they do not love Me as I love them. Had they that Love, they would become one with Me. You and I remain divided by no other veil than "you" yourself, i.e., 'I' in you. For example, you see a very beautiful girl and you will fall in love with her. There is so much unrest. Your whole mind is on that. You forget hunger and sleep etc. I am talking of real love for worldly beings (not mere lust). But love for Me expects much more than this — much more than a fish out of water. It is not easy for all. Rarely one person can try to cope up with that Love. Had I been in your place, I would not have been able to love Myself as I ought to be loved. This is a fact. LIFE IS A JEST, p. 63, ed A. K. Hajra
