Absolute Love

Sometimes life is so strange that you never know the reasons behind all that happens. Sometimes the places you go to and people you love make no sense in what they speak or do. This world can be a very lonely place sometimes, scary and wild... but what keeps us alive during all these persecutions is the knowledge that life goes on, no matter what. It is this courage that makes one laugh through their tears, walk even in pain and forget what haunts them most. Because only a human being has the capability of all this... ever wondered why? The answer is love! Love in its purest, unmixed and unconditioned form can withstand all suffering and pain. Rigidity of actions and rudeness of words can never affect true love. Distances of separation and differences in opinion can never limit the force of pure love. Because there is no power greater than this most treasured valuable of all creation.

Why do people love? Because people are nothing but individualised centers of consciousness, existing in a world of duality where everything seems to be separate and distant. I am what you are, for I cannot be anything otherwise. Ultimately if we look beyond the reflection of duality, gaze into the depths of truth we can perceive the real nature of all that exists. The real nature is singularity and we need to experience that there is no you and an I, for there is only love that exists. Till the time we realize this, the love that we see around and the expression of it would only be a varying degree of the Absolute Love. With this varying degree would come feelings of hatred, depression, passivity and misunderstandings. Why do these contradictions exist? So that we are offered a chance to realize and understand the temporal nature, the transience of this varying degree and truly experience that Absolute Love.

The feeling of unity that accompanies Absolute Love is such a divine experience that no other object or creature can withhold itself from it. You just keep coming back for more because therein lies the secret substratum of all creation and the cosmos. Nothing or no one can be excluded from that feeling. Open your heart to everything around you and let that natural fervour take hold of your total being. Discard all negativity from within and from the people around you, and dive into the bliss of love that surrounds us all. Notice that all will be beautiful, all emotions will slide into the purity of thought. And the only thought that will remain is peace.
