👉 Reality of Love

The roots of real love lie deep within the soul. Linking it with the Supreme Soul (God) makes is an eternal source of unlimited, unalloyed bliss. What we often regard as love is, in one form or the other, an affection or attachment with the people or things which we feel as our own. But this binding, howsoever strong that may be, with the perishable entities, of this ever-changing world can’t be long lasting or consistently blissful. The instances of change like – demise of near and dear ones, separation from the beloved, loss of hard-earned prosperity, or tainting of self-prestige, etc break one’s heart; the same world which used to be so loving, appears an ocean of dole and depression in these tragic moments. This demonstrates that the bounds and strength of ‘worldly love’ are no more stable or stronger than a castle of sand. Love with the mortal beings, with the momentary things of this world is therefore not true love. True love is a perennial source of limitless joy… How can it ever be a cause of sorrow?

True love is a spiritual feeling, which surrenders the individual self in the Divine Supreme Self. The individual self, the soul is immortal, sublime, consciousness force, so its love could only be with the sachchidanand (eternal, omnipresent, everenlightening,
ever-blissful) – Supreme Soul.
