      FINDING REAL COMMUNICATION

      Head-to-head communication is through thoughts and words, while heart-to-heart communication is through feelings. People, throughout the ages, have felt that they cannot communicate their feelings. If we could communicate all our feelings through words, then we would be living very shallow lives. Life is rich because feelings cannot be captured in words! So we use all these gestures – we hug, so that hearts come closer, we give flowers, so that feelings are conveyed… We put all our efforts into expressing our feelings… and still, feelings remain unexpressed.

      Soul-to-soul communication is silence. When we transcend the feeling level, we become still. Stillness is at the peak of any experience – that’s why the saying, Be still… and know your God.

      When our eyes are open, we are lost in activity, and when our eyes are closed, we fall asleep. So we miss the point – the point is in-between closing our eyes, and not falling asleep.

      Meditation means seeing God within you, and love is seeing God in the person next to you. The two complement each other. The more you serve, the deeper you are able to go within.

      We find two types of people in the world – those, who are just focused on themselves; on improving themselves, and those, who are lost in serving. Those, who are lost in serving, get tired, frustrated, angry… and then their service also suffers.

      Some boy-scouts were at a Sunday service, when the Father (priest) said, You should serve.

      They asked, What is this service?

      He said, Suppose, an old woman wants to cross a road, go and help her cross the road.

      So the boys went and looked for a whole week, but there was no old woman, trying to cross a street. Finally, four of them found a woman walking on a footpath. One of the boys went and asked her, Madam, would you like to cross the road?

      She turned and said, No.

      He was disappointed. So another boy went and asked her again, thinking, perhaps, that the first boy hadn’t asked properly. He asked, Would you like to cross the road?

      The woman was now a little bit confused. She wondered why she was being asked this. So she said, it was all right for him to take her across the road.

      Once they’d reached the other side, a third boy came and asked her, Would you like to cross the road?

      Now it really bothered her.

      When the fourth one approached her,
