Love

What is Love? Can we define love? It seems absurd to delineate love in two lines. Love is a feeling which triggers varied emotions in us. Love can be experienced in various forms. The love expressed by a Mother, Father, Brother, Sister, Wife, Husband, Teacher, God, Devotee, Lover and many more. No two are the same. Thus the word “Love” has different meaning depending on the situation and relationship.

Nevertheless, love seems to have a strong positive effect in you. The feeling of being loved gives you an immense sense of satisfaction, self esteem and meaning to your life. The excitement reaches your mind and goes deep and touches your soul. You discern being cherished and nurtured. This brings about a profound and unambiguous approach to life.

Of all the love, the most intense form of love is the love for your sweetheart. When you fall in love, you are affected mentally and physically. Here, your entire focus is on the person you love. All others are blurred into the background. It is a fusion of romance, affection, unconfined excitement, physical attraction and emotional attachment. We can say that the effect of love is such that you are levitating.

Now, retrospect and envisage the events that happened since when you were a child. Think about the love of your mother. The surge of feeling you experience is something divine and cannot be expressed in words. Her love is selfless, boundless, indulgent and eternal. Can you stop her from loving you? Her love does not diminish an iota even if you turn out to be wicked, cruel, a criminal or whatever. It remains unabated. She lives for you. She is always there for you. She cries when you cry, laughs when you laugh, suffers when you suffer and is overwhelmed with mirth when you are happy.

These are a gist of my views on love. I can keep writing about love for an entire lifetime. If everyone has the maturity to understand the depth of love, then there will be no heart aches or hate feelings in this world and we can live in harmony and eternal bliss.
