Love is what makes the world go around. Let's embrace love and not hatred if we want to feel closer to the Creator and creation.
• • • What is love? For most of us it may be a companion for life, for some the beauty of external appearance to our sight, and for others something conditional or material. Just as I turn the last page of a book on incarnation of love, sitting beside the wide window gazing at the bushes, I realize how the true essence of love has been conceded to a petite denotation, how the mind shuns the rhythms of the heart, and thus the ego becomes an obstruction to knowing God. And little did I know that love isn't something which is 'definable' or 'egocentric'.
It is easy to love an unblemished and infallible God. What is more difficult is to love fellow humans in spite of their imperfections and defects. But there is greatness in that! We also tend to constrain the benevolence of love only for people within our comfort zone, making it gender, relation or transaction specific. But little did I know that love isn't something which can be 'intellectual' or 'judgmental'.
