Fresh Daily Rises

Our problem is how to die to everything that we know, so that we can live; to die to the injustices, the pleasures and the pains. I do not know if you have ever tried to die to something?⁠⁠

I assure you that it is only when you die that there is a fresh mind; but you cannot die if you are not passionate. 

It is only the empty mind that is rich, not the mind that is full of knowledge beliefs, experiences, hopes and despairs - such a mind is worn out, such a mind is not a new mind, it is an experienced mind, and an experienced mind can never learn. 

It is only the empty mind, the mind that is dead to the past, to everything, that is rich because such a mind, being passionate, can receive, and therefore knows what it is to love.⁠

Sirs, have you ever really felt deeply the inequality of life why you have and another has not, why you are gifted and the other is not? 

If you have really felt it passionately, then you will know that love knows no inequality. 

To see the man who rides in an expensive car and enjoy what he enjoys, without envy; to see also the beggar at the roadside and feel for him in his wretchedness;-this is to know love, and that there is no answer to inequality except love.⁠

Religion, after all, is the discovery of love, and love is something to be discovered from moment to moment. 

You must die to the love that you have known a second before, in order to ever know anew what love is. And love can only come into being when there is this passion of feeling. 

Then, out of that feeling there is action, and that action will not bind you because love never binds. 

And so religion is not the thing that we have now, which is a miserable thing, a dark thing, a deadly thing. 

Religion implies clarity, light, passion; it implies a mind that is empty and therefore able to receive that immeasurable, incorruptible richness.⁠
