Bhagwan Shree,

Before we go into worship please do the following two experiments to get a small glimpse of awareness.

Experiment 1

Please sit near face to face with person you love the most. Decide among urself partner A and B. Now ask, partner A to express his/her love towards u, by way of any expression like hugging etc. And whenever the person expresses it, u say to him/her not this, do something else. Go on repeating this process for at least 2 minutes. Now, partner B express ur love and tell the A to negate as described above.

Experiment 2

Again repeat the above process, but this time instead of telling the other partner to do something else, acknowledge his/her love and express ur in response or just enjoy the expression and accept it. As before both partners do the process one after the other.

Please note ur feelings in both the experiments. Spirituality is as experimental as science, the difference lies in the laboratory. For science it lies outside and for Spirituality it lies within.

Have u ever had a Thunder of love in ur life? The thunder that shakes u and all. The onslaught of which makes ur life a thunder. If yes, maybe worship will become way of ur life?

So what is Worship? Is it Thanking God? Is it asking something from God? Asking or begging is the most corrupt practice being practiced in the name of God and Worship. And the pity is 99% of those who do it perceive GOD as a Controlling identity. If it is so, then whatever GOD does is good then why ask something from him? It is like telling see GOD, I am much more intelligent than u, I can think better so do what I tell u to do, not what u offer me as Love. How was ur feeling when ur loved one was rejecting ur expression? And in the name of worship u do the same.

The problem is GOD is a dustbin for us for our disposal. For relief, security and desires. We want to use GOD as our Slave. See the height of EGO! And then we give it a name of feeling! If it is feeling do we accept with gratitude what is given or ask or bribe? And then these Egoistic people are called God-fearing, God-loving etc.? Is it? Where there is fear there can't be GOD! The other day I was watching a TV serial and I heard 'Adhyatmik Pratiyogita'. Where all Pratiyogita i.e. competition stops spirituality comes and here we see a national Channel broadcasting Spiritual Competition. We goto any extent in using GOD for our desires and hence the EGO!!!!!!!!! In fact where all desires stop WORSHIP just begins.

And hence WORSHIP is the most abused word in this WORLD! and least perceived as abused word!!

Why do u search love? Have u ever asked this question to urself? What is in that thirst of love? Well, the thirst of love is nothing but thirst of GOD, of knowing urself. And by all search that goes u never become satisfied until u go inwards and merge with all that was, is and will be!

Imagine the feeling u get during those heights of love. All that becomes possible because u have to loose urself. Whoever the person may be, if he/she refuses to looses itself Love can't blossom. Have u observed that as soon as u love, the ego is no more. In fact, if two persons love eachother they have to let go eachother (EGO) when love comes! Yes, this is the reason for those beautiful moments. Of course to call that as Love wouldn't be appropriate, but then to give idea of ULTIMATE LOVE there is no other better example.

Many people ask what is wrong with EGO? Nothing, if u are perfectly happy as u are. If u can be in ecstasy all the time. If u don't find any misery, go ahead strengthen ur ego! But the fact is it isn't possible! Because EGO is a GATE that blocks out the cosmic love and ecstasy that flows. I can keep my eyes closed and cry on my blindness. The same is here! The existence itself is so full of joy that it is surprising that we have to search for joy. It is like negating gravitation. Yes, once u become one with gravitation u can negate gravitation like we do by launching satellites in space. In fact, when I tell I am GOD and so are U, I just say now I am in complete harmony with rules of the existence. I am the rule!

If loving one person is so so so beautiful! How would it be like falling in love with all consciousness, with everything in this world, mountains, rivers, plants, living beings, non-living .........! Loving all. Yes, imagine!! Yes that is exactly what WORSHIP is.

WORSHIP is the ultimate flight of love, ultimate culmination of being. Once there was a fakir hasan who never used to miss Namaz, but in his last days people observed that he no longer was doing Namaz. So some people asked him, hasan have u gone mad? He replied no dear, see, my chest have worms and if I bow for Namaz they will fall down and die. This is my Namaz. Yes, this was the love, the real worship!

It is loving, thanking the whole consciousness, it is being conscious, it is awareness, it is being one with cosmos, it is the ultimate flight of Love, where all boundaries go, where all borders merge, where all limits become limitless.

Experiment 3

Please sit near face to face with person you love the most. Now hold each others' hands and look deeply into the eyes of each other. Go on looking, until u feel like closing ur eyes. Keep ur eyes closed until u don't feel like opening.

Experiment 4

Please sit in a comfortable position. Remember the person / God / Guru / nothing u love the most. Now remember ur first love. Now close ur eyes. Say to nature, to the person, to the God / nothingness (As u plz.), I am incomplete without u. Thanks for everything. Keep ur eyes closed for 5-10 minutes and u will find the consciousness saying I too am incomplete without u.

Yes this is WORSHIP !!! So the guy who coined Work is WORSHIP, knew why people worship, but never knew what is WORSHIP? Yes, Work becomes WORSHIP because work doesn't exist any more. It is just another way of life, it becomes the culmination of what u want to offer to the world of ur Love!! So Work is Worship still holds true, but in previous context that normally is taken, worship goes and work is left, because worship is considered as a way to get things/things done. And here work doesn't remain, because it becomes what u want to do and what u want to give. It overflows from u like rain from clouds. And only WORSHIP FLOWS or RAINS from U.

So do u have it in u to take the ultimate FLIGHT of LOVE

My Pranam to Bhagwans in u.
