    Prem Birgitta. Prem means love; birgitta means
    strength, power, energy.

    Love makes you strong, makes you powerful,
    because love transforms your possibilities into
    actualities. It transforms the seed into a sprout, it
    transforms the potential into the real. Without love
    one is empty, with love one is overflowing. Without
    love one is a beggar, with love one is an emperor.

    Love more and more, and love without any
    expectations. With expectations love cannot soar
    high. Love without conditions. With conditions love
    is poisoned. Love for the sheer joy of loving, then
    love becomes the bridge between you and God.

    And birgitta has another meaning also -- that is
    bridge. When love energy is overflowing, you are
    bridged to God. There is no other way to be
    bridged.


    Anand Alwin. Anand means bliss; alwin means a
    friend.

    Bliss is the friend. It is only through bliss that one
    arrives home. It is by being blissful that we start
    feeling the presence of God in existence.
    Ordinarily people think they will be blissful when
    they have found God... that is not true, because
    unless you are blissful you cannot find God.

    Certainly you will be immensely blissful when you
    have found God, but that is the end of the story;
    and first we have to think of the beginning, not of
    the end. One has to learn to be blissful for God to
    arrive. It is only through the blissful state of
    consciousness that God can penetrate us...
