Guest guest Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Hare Krsna. Every Moment Ever Increasing LoveGod is infinite; therefore everything about God is Infinite - "Hari anant, Hari katha ananta." (Manasa Bal: 140:3). God's love is also infinite. Rather, in true love there is infinite joy and sentiments. The meaning of infinite joy is that, it is every moment, ever increasing love (pratikshan vardhamaan prem). And, in this moment by moment, ever increasing love, there is both a feeling of missing and longing for the beloved and at the same time afeeling of constant union. Without missing and longing for the beloved, one cannot savor the nectar of union. And without union, one cannot experience the true sentiments and joy of love.In this world, neither the enjoyment of union remains, nor the longing for the beloved who is away remains. This is because in this world, only separation is constant; whereas with God, only union is constant. In the midst of constant separation in this world, we experience moments of union and separation, whereas in the midst of constant union with God, we experience occasional longing due to separation. Rather in divine love, there is both a feeling union and separation at the same time.In union, the lover feels he is deficient in love. He feels that for what God is, his love is not up to the mark. At the same time, in separation, the lover is never oblivion of the beloved. Rather the lover is forever engrossed in his beloved. Both union and separation are given by God and both are in essence God's divine nature. God creates the feeling of separation, so that the beloved devotee may experience something missing in their love, and in this feeling of incompleteness, in their inability to love completely, the beloved's love is ever increasing. God also showers the devotee with union, so that the devotee can experience the nectar and joy of union.Both union with and (longing due to) separation from God are eternal, inexpressible in words and divine. Rather God's love is every moment, ever increasing love. It's here! Your new message!Get new email alerts with the free Toolbar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
