Knowledge, Awareness and Love (Part 1) 

Life has three components:

1.Knowledge
2.Awareness and
3.Love

 If at all you become miserable, it is because of any one of these three, or the lack of it. Lack of love in life causes misery. Fear of losing love causes misery. And craving for it causes misery.

 When there is lack of awareness, you make mistakes. You are driving and you miss the exit. How did you miss the exit? It was because you were not aware or alert. Lack of awareness is a cause of misery.

 The third thing is lack of knowledge. These three things cause misery. And it is yoga and meditation which enhances these three things in our lives. It enhances knowledge, it enhances awareness and it brings forth love which makes you feel at home. If there is any one thing on this planet that can alleviate your loneliness, I tell you, it is meditation.

 Some of us are more bent towards knowledge, some of us are more towards love, and some of us are more towards alertness. But meditation combines all three: Love, Knowledge and Awareness. And if we catch hold of any one of it and master it, then the other two also come along.
