Guest guest Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 Have you heard of the two lovers, Majnu and Leila? They had human love at its height. Majnu was at a great distance from Leila, always trying to love her and repeating her name wherever he went. But Leila was at some other place. One day a thorn went into Majnu's foot; blood came out. At the very same moment Leila felt a shock and blood trickled from her foot. Even such human love falls short of Divine Love. His whole life was Leila; he saw Leila in everyone. Of course he was not careful of his clothes, health , food. He roamed about always thinking of her. Then he met a spiritual Master sitting under a tree. The Master called him, saying, " If you had tried to love God as intensely as you love Leila, you would have seen God everywhere, in everything. " Majnu answered, " I am not after God, I am after Leila, I see her in all, " The Master called him, embraced him and in a instant Majnu had the experience of God everywhere.
