Guest guest Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 SUB: DIVINE LOVE Love is not different from the SELF OR THE ATMAA and love of an object is of an inferior order as it cannot endure whereas as the SELF LOVE (not selfish love) in other words " GOD IS LOVE" Love towards one's own parents,spouse,relations,material things like properties,or any objects giving sensual pleasures is called "MAYA". While compassion and love towards all living things without any reasons or agenda is divine love and that is to say the God is the fountain of eternal love,bliss,and wisdom. ( In the astral world Paramahamsa Yogananda says you would meet thousands of your parents,spouses relations & friends of all your previous births and then understand that GOD IS LOVE ) Divine love is the communion with God by love,devotion,and total surrender as practiced by great Bhaktas like Narada,Meera bai,Kabirdas,Thukaram,Purandaradas,Thiyagaraja etc.. etc. Divine love is the very chorus chanting the name of Lord used to put Ramakrishna Paramahamsa in Savikalpa samadhi. Divine love is like breath without it you cannot live,like food without it you cannot live,like a house without it you cannot live …….. So when you want God as you want these without it you cannot live it is divine love. Love asks not,begs not,but only gives. · True love is not a bargain like asking god give me this, that and that it would be mere shopping, divine love knows no fear (even it invoves the very survival). God if considered as a rewarder or punisher as some say I AM A GOD FEARING PERSON it is not divine love and the divine love is when we have reached the point where we can worship the ideal as the ideal, all arguments and doubts have vanished forever and ideal is PART OF YOUR NATURE AND ONE HAS TO RECOGNISE THIS… that is divine love. Understanding love from negative side… … that love which is for one's own pleasure, irrespective of pain or pleasure to others is the selfish love … the love of lowest nature,.. the barter type of love is I love you because you love me as a mutual love is a middle path practised by the majority….AND THAT LOVE WHICH GIVES ALL AND ASKS NOTHING, without premeditation, which never regrets and from whom such love emanates IS DIVINE LOVE. It is god in everyone that draws us to that one in love and it is god in everything that makes us love and god is only love and in everyone is god THE ATMAN AND ALL ELSE IS MAYA OR ILLUSION OR DREAM. · Divine love is in and from the HEART and the superficial love is in and from the mind and intellect. That is why our scriptures say that god resides in the heart. A wise person sees god in ever and ever widening potencies,not caring for the views which men and nations which vary. no higher view is known than that of love and such a person is a BHAKTA who bears in his heart an unceasing love to every creature and recognises that the creation is a manifestation of divine. He cannot injure the creature of god however repulsive to his narrower view of what should or should not be. He gives love not in pride. THAT IS DIVIVE LOVE.
