The one word which has been misrepresented, misunderstood, (and if you may allow me to say), misused by ages and every time when we liked some-one, developed a soft-corner for him/her, feels like talking to that particular person uninterruptedly, again and again and last but not the least, feels like spending our rest of the life with him/her, in today's world, it's called, Love, prem or preet, but I strongly believed that it's not love actually, it's adjustment, infatuation, developing a liking for a particular person and it is a deal where we look forward to expect the same in return and when the targeted person does not respond the way we wanted him/her to act upon; or not accept our proposal in totality; we call him a betrayer, the person who is so insensible, unromantic, introvert, selfish, self-centered, self indulgent, can not be worth loving and we discard him/her by saying; he/she does not understand me and my inner-feelings, not mature enough to be my partner, not of my standard and finally not worth loving, at all.
I am afraid, it's not true and it would be totally unfair on my part if I call it love. To be more specific, it's an adjustment and you can call it a social-settlement, it's like, you choose some-one and then settled down with him/her; fair enough, no-issue at all, I accept, so far so good. But my only apprehension here is, where is the actual Love, Prem or Preet, we talked about earlier?
To begin with, love is the way of living in the instructions of our Maula/Rab/Babaji/Ishwar/God Almighty (Jis haal mein Maula rakhe, us haal mein rahna hai) and doing our duties (what ever jobs we do), we do it hundred percent with our mind body and soul, . Neither I am talking about imaginary things nor it's my illusion, no not at all. Here I would like to refer to the relationship of Shri Radha Rani vs. Lord Krishna; Sudama vs. Lord Krishna; and Meera Bai vs. Lord Krishna; in case of Meea Bai, one exception here, Lord Krishna was not present in her life, but in case of Shri Radha Rani and Sudama, Thakur ji (Lord Krishna) was very much there in their lives.
By any chance, if you are really in love with some-one, by default, you are in love with his creation, the whole-universe and his biggest creation is: Man-kind, you are in love with human-beings, to be more specific, you are in love with what-ever you see, touch, feel and hear; you start seeing him in each and every shape, size, colour and object, for you, he becomes a way of life and you always communicate with him, one to one. Here, your self-esteem merges with his super-power and all your needs, wants and desires are full- filled in totality, you left with cent percent fulfillment in all respect and you forget the hunger of mind, body and soul because he is within you and you are within him and there is no difference what-so-ever between you two.
This becomes your new incarnation, where your Ambitions, Dreams, Family and Future has no relevance and your only job left is to sing in his gratitude. Since you are no more thirsty, you start giving love to the whole world, because for you he is every where, and for you the difference of sex, cast, creed and religion gets abolished and vanished automatically, all boundaries are broken and you becomes truly independent, a self- sufficient man with no Desire, Dream and Destination, but like a true Karma-yogi, you continue your journey of your life till your last breath, under the influence of his Love.
With Prayers,
Gurcharan.
Nice to meet a thinker :)
