Only two things in the world,
Love and fear.
There's only one evil in the world,
Fear.
There's only one good in the world,
Love.
It's sometimes called by other names.
It's sometimes called happiness.
Sometimes called freedom or peace or joy or God or whatever.
But the label doesn't matter really.
And there's not a single evil in the world that you cannot trace to fear.
Not a one,
Not one.
Ignorance and fear.
Ignorance caused by fear.
That's where your violence comes from.
The person who is truly non-violent,
Who is incapable of violence,
Is the person who is fearless.
It's only when you're afraid that you become angry.
Have you ever thought of that?
Think of the last time you were angry.
Search for the fear behind that.
What were you afraid of losing?
What were you afraid was being taken away from you?
That's where the anger comes from.
Think of an angry person,
Maybe someone you're afraid of.
Can you see how frightened he or she is?
He's really frightened.
He really is.
She's really frightened or she wouldn't be angry.
How true.
Ultimately,
There are only two things.
Love and fear.
I've got different themes,
But they're all about the same thing.
Call it awareness,
Call it spirituality,
Or freedom,
Or awakening,
Or whatever.
It really is the same thing.
Ultimately,
There are only two things.
Love and fear.
