"I would say that most of us stay locked in our separateness and we are
very frightened of coming out of it, we feel very vulnerable. In truth
you’re not vulnerable at all. Who you think you are is
vulnerable. Who you are is not vulnerable. This is the truth of it.
That’s what Christ was saying over and over again but nobody seemed to
want to hear him.
You are not vulnerable, but you experience that you are. So it’s very
hard for you to open your heart to another being whose love is
conditional. Because they’re saying, ‘I will love you as long as you’re a
certain way’ and you keep protecting yourself.
So you find it very easy to open yourself sometimes to inanimate
objects, or to an animal, or to a memory, or to a very young child
that’s very innocent, before it develops any kind of definition of
itself that starts to manipulate the universe to get what it needs.
When you’re with a guru, the guru realizes that they’re not vulnerable,
they don’t need you to do anything. They just need you to be what you
are, so their love is unconditional. When you’re in the presence of
unconditional love, that’s the optimum environment for your heart to
open."
