Buddha's teaching is absolutely negative – for a
certain reason. Love has to be negated, then
meditation has to be negated. Now, these are the
two highest things in the world, the most precious.
And Buddha negates both.

Soren Kierkegaard, a Danish thinker and mystic,
had a deep understanding about the negative
teaching. He says that only negative teaching is
possible, because any positive teaching, and the
mind clings to it and creates new dreams about it. If
you talk about God, mind clings to God – God
becomes an object and mind starts thinking "How to
relate to God? how to reach to God?" That becomes
a love affair again. If you teach about moksha,
paradise, then man starts becoming greedy about it:
"How to grab it?" And the greed creates new dreams
and new nightmares...
