"Love is simple, that's why science can have no idea what it is. Whenever you come across a simple thing, you have to drop the effort to understand it, only then can you understand it. A totally new kind of understanding will be needed – an understanding of the heart, which does not analyze, which does not dissect.

"Science dissects, analyzes, divides. It tries to find the smaller and the smaller part – it reaches to the atom, to the electron, and it goes on dividing. It will never know about the whole, it will know only about the parts, and once it comes against a part which cannot be divided, again it is elusive.

"Now, science knows nothing about the electrons, because they cannot be divided yet. Once you divide them you will know how they are composed, of what they are composed. But then again you are facing something else – the new division – and that eludes knowledge.

"Religion moves in a totally different way. It does not go to the part, it goes to the whole. Existence means the whole – the undivided whole, the totality of all. How can you understand existence? In the very effort to understand, you have become separate from it; it is no longer total. The one who is trying to understand is separate; division has started, you are on the way to science. The known and the knower have become separate; the first division has happened. Now it is a process ad infinitum.

"Godliness can be known only if you remain in an undivided relatedness with the whole. You don't become a knower, you don't become an observer. You don't stand out of it. You can't – you are in it, you are it; how can you know it? You can be it, and that is a totally different kind of knowing, a different kind of understanding: the understanding that arises out of being.

"You cannot know love from the outside, but you can be love, and then you will know. But that knowing will not be part of your head. The head will still remain ignorant; you will know, but you will not be able to translate it into the language that the head can understand."
