Love Matters

Unconditional Love

Mrinalini Nair Baskaran

    

Everyone is looking for love but what is the love we want and need? What does real love look like? How will we know when we’ve found it?  Some think of “being in love” as “an unexplainable feeling that we fall in and out of” but the truth is the world has forgotten the meaning of the word love.

It has been so abused and crucified by men that very few people know what true love is. Just as oil is present in every part of our live, love permeates every part of God’s creation.

Well, to define love is extremely hard because it often means different to different   people; depending on who is doing the talking. Actually it’s like an orange – we are unable to describe the flavor of the fruit until we taste it. So with love.

In a more universal sense, love is something pure or rather a divine power which creates harmony; unites and leads us to live together though we have different background, culture, belief and religion.

Divine love is eternal, no boundries , no condition and no change but the ordinary love which only leads toward sexual relationship is selfish and darkly rooted in desires and satisfaction.

Many say “I love you” one day and reject you the next. That is not love. One whose heart is filled with God’s love would never willfully hurt anyone. That love which no human tongue can describe is the unconditional love for all. Of course ordinary men are unable of loving others in the same way as God.

So we as a human being should lead towards the divine love, because in the divine love there is no deception, no narrowness of caste or creed, no boundries of any kind. When we experience the divine love, we can see the difference between flowers and beasts, human and devil. We will have the ability to commune with all nature and will love all mankind equally.

When two people feel an unconditional attraction for each other and ready to sacrifice for each other, they are truly in love.

Let’s move towards such love.
