Man should have pure love towards each and every human being. Love is the top most attribute of the man. Love is one thing that is dear to one and all. Love affects all human beings. One may have any nature or attribute but love makes its own place in his heart. The level of influence of love depends on the nature and thinking of man, however, I will say that man should have love towards all living beings and one should never think ill of others. Have pure love towards God Almighty and Satguru. Even if one is ignorant of this, one should love all human beings. Some people feel physical love is the true love but that is not true. Love is from the soul. Where there is slightest tinge of selfishness in love, then it is not love, it is an attachment (moha).
Love should be selfless and from the core of
the heart (soul). There are
no ifs and buts in true love. True
love, once it is there it never breaks. If
it breaks, it is not true love, it is artificial
love. Once water is mixed with water,
the duality vanishes. Whether water
is sweet or saline, once mixed cannot be
separated. Love in humans is like fragrance
in flowers. A man without love
in his heart, is like a flower of Rohit in
a forest which has no fragrance but it looks
beautiful. Regarding love, Lord Christ
said, “In human beings only love is
like a divine light in the sentient soul
which enlightens all around like the sun”. Many
other great souls have also narrated that
a person devoid of love cannot succeed in
anything.
Only a person with love in his heart can
become peaceful devotee and a Yogi. Virtues
like perseverance, forgiveness celibacy,
service, kindness, benevolence etc can only
be acquired by a heart full of love. It
is my firm faith that love should never be
forgotten. In this path of love, even if
we have to face hardships or sorrows and
a person develops enmity with us due to his
ignorance or misunderstanding, then also
we should love him. Our love will transform
his enmity feeling into love towards us. Even
if he does not part with his enmity in any
way, he will not be able to harm a person
having a heart full of love, provided the
love is true and pure. I have seen
many people who seem to be devoid of love
but sprouts of love are present in their
hearts too.
Soul is always thirsty of love therefore
the love should be at the level of soul to
soul. It may happen that a person may try
to harm another person due to some misunderstanding
or ignorance. This is not a subject of argument;
it is a matter of realization. It is
not a matter of surprise if a person speaks
ill of and tries to harm a true lover, even
then the heart of a lover will never be empty
of love, it will always be full of love.
In every heart
the flower of love has a desire to blossom, but every one does not get the opportunity. The
man whose petals of lotus viz heart are dried and wilted, the dew like drops
of peace and bliss do not drip there. His heart remains void of love. The wind
of unhappiness due to scorching heat of negative attributes like lust, anger,
ego fear, jealousy, hatred, desire, selfishness, worry etc blows there. The
hot blows of above negativities wilt the buds of love and no fragrance develops
there. Then there is neither presence of love nor happiness felt around
him. But those whose lotus viz heart is blossomed the nectar like drops of love
and bliss keep dripping there day and night. By going in the vicinity
or company of such a blessed soul, it is experienced as if a draught of cool,
slow, sweet and scented air is blowing around there. There only, every
soul gets a peace of mind and happiness. There can be another example of
love like this , that a seed of a tree is kept for 12 years inside a covered
utensil but no tree is seen in that seed. Is it that there can be no development
of a tree in this seed? No it is not so, in fact, due to non availability of
its diet the seed remained a seed. But, whichever seed gets the required
soil, water, air and light, it slowly becomes a lush green tree. Like this
every human heart is certainly having the seed of love but who ever does not
get the diet of love from the company of Satguru and
virtuous people, there is no development of love in his heart whoever gets the
company of Satguru , love arises in his heart and he becomes a lover. The
great souls have called this type of love as ‘Pure Love’.
Pure love leads to realization of God and liberation of self (soul) from the Bhava Sagar. My philosophy has been that who ever comes in my contact, I love him selflessly, guide him on this divine path and help him to become a true lover.
My philosophy also has been that I love more than those who love me but those who do not love me; I am not averse to them also. If you have come to me, first be pure and selfless lover prior to learning my teachings. After becoming a pure lover, start loving all souls.
