Love seems to be something Larger than life itself.
I see this whole drama of universe is going on because of love. The bondage of matter explains it brilliantly.
Everything in this universe is made up of process in which " things join each other to take a form" otherwise they are nothing but dispersed dust .
This infusion gives them shape , strength and aim (for being useful).
Our Creator have created life style for us where love is needed and developed to each bit of it .
Love in humans is natural instinct.So couples can meet and form family which is main purpose of life.
Unlike other animals human babies take long time to grow . So their bonding with parents can be deep and strong.
Love is work of soul instead of body. Because body is weak and mortal but soul is everlasting (well call it d.n.a in worldly words ) .So , true and divine love belong to soul because it does not vanish with time or condition.
Sometimes we are illusioned with love. True love has power to prove it's eternal existence .Though time blows away illusions anyway .
As we observe that sometimes people claim to love but actually they choose companions for other reasons instead of love such as wealth ,beauty ,fame or physical power . All these powers are that melt away by age .
And then time exposes the actual person ,which cause pain to one who trusted the wrong one.
Such betrayals hurt soul for long until one finds the true match to his heart.
I believe that love has only one specialty and it is it's "Depth and Strength " no matter in which relationship it is invested it is loyal , limitless and most powerful.
According to our literature there are few thoughts that define why do we love ?
One is that we love someone because we see "reflection of our ownself in him " We consider him "lost part of our being" and we want to join him forever to feel complete.
Other is that "love that we do with our lover is way to love God!
That this love is an early step (practice) towards destination that lead us to our divine love "the love of one who love us most"(we believe)
Third thought is that people who want to be loved back passionately love with with depth .
I think whatever the reason is love is most desired by all of us whether we realize and accept it or not .
It is also said that hate is also part of love . When one is Obsessed with someone who is not reachable for any reason he finds his hate as "way to connect to his beloved" anyhow .
According to science love is consequence of chemical reaction . I think this is not enough definition for emotion upon which our whole life is based.
In history there are so many examples of people who Loved their lovers passionately and risked or sacrificed their lives in struggle to be with them.
What a feeling that make someone more important than life . Even today when life has taken over by more practical ideas and material People still feel compelled by love for someone . This is miracle isn't it?
I have observed even one sided love , where one is well settled and successful still helpless to get rid of love who does not love him back. Time and situation has not changed or weaken his love because it was something beyond his control .
I think Unity defines love in most accurate way. Love also means "unite for better" and all else is hidden behind it .
All other is wanted by us but this form of love is desired by our Creator and i can see his commands through everything he has created around us !
When we people will realize this that our union is only way to survival and only way to please our Creator surly we will unite and love each other.amen!
I think so, "Love also means unite for better"; that's another way to keep the human existence.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend!
Great post as always. I am one of those who believe that at the root of it all is chemistry. However, I think that fact in no way diminishes the power and wonder of love.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
I think if the chemistry is there, the deeper love can happen.
ReplyDeleteA very thoughtful and sensitive post. Well said!
ReplyDeleteLovely meme.
ReplyDeleteWisdom, in such beautiful words!

I do not always understand love the oddest people often do well together and people who look so well suited break up and fall apart .
ReplyDeleteMerle.........
As the Beatles said Love is all you need.
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful and wise words, as always, dearest Baili!😊😊
ReplyDeleteI, too, believe that Love is the source (and the basis) of everything in Creation. And on a human level...well, where would we be without it?
Oh how I love how you make me think out of the box, my dear friend...you stretch and exercise my mind. Where would I be without you...to inspire me...?
Have a fabulous day!
All my love and hugs ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love is wonderful. I surround myself with love for the Earth and Nature, for my pets, for the woods and critters, for myself and for Alex. He is my soul mate and we were meant to be together through thick and thin. I feel love every day of my life. I feel it from the dogs and cats and from Alex. I feel it when I walk in the woods and I often feel that Mother Nature is hugging me! :) I feel it from my friends when I read their lovely comments on my blog - like yours Baili! Whenever I read your comments, I smile and feel all warm inside. I always think to myself "she's so supportive and she CARES about what I talk about!" Now that's love! xxx
ReplyDeleteLike for example Ygraine above my comment, I too am very happy and grateful to read your wise words, dearest Baili. You write about topics that are more important than the small everyday issues we so easily ruminate... :)
ReplyDeleteLove is wonderful.
Hugs and blessings.
"O amor parece ser algo maior do que a própria vida". Gostei logo do começo deste seu texto cheio de lucidez e sensibilidade.
ReplyDeleteUma boa semana.
Um beijo.
As always, i really enjoyed this post, Baili. As you said, Love is many things and for me one of those is deep friendship not only with my husband (which is the deepest to me) but also with family & friends.
ReplyDeleteThe Bible passage we read at our wedding sums it all up for me from the Apostle Paul's letter to the Corinthians (1 Corinthians 13:4-8). It's the one that starts: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs...Love never fails. . .
Ironically, I found a framed version of this message in a thrift store several years ago. It was apparently given to someone as an anniversary gift and how it ended up where I found it was a lucky find as is hung on our bedroom wall.
Thank you Baili for all of your comments on my blog posts. I truly "love" and appreciate that you take such time to not only read the posts, but also you provide such thoughtful comments in response.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful said! Love is a very deep feeling indeed. Wishing a wonderful week Baili!
ReplyDeleteAnother very thoughtful post, I did enjoy reading it,
ReplyDeleteThank you.
All the best Jan
I Will Always Love You (Dollie Parton and Whitney Houston)
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately is not only love.
ReplyDeleteHate is also immense.
Have a great week.
Love is the "emotion upon which our whole life is based." Yes, so true! We are nowhere without love.
ReplyDeleteTrue love is unconditional, it is felt through the soul and connects us to our creator. It is a difficult concept to understand. It is what Jesus and other Great spiritual teachers have taught.
ReplyDeleteI mention Jesus because his teachings were the ones that set me on my path to understanding. He is not the only teacher that has inspired and led me to the truth.
