LOVE is the Primal cause
and motive of the entire Cosmic Creation. Initially the
cosmos was in a state of innovation and there was no
creation or manifestation of names and forms in it. It
was the state of non-differentiation or equiliibrium
----the seed state of the universe --the sleep of the
Cosmic-Soul.In that state, the cosmos was formless and pevaded by a single
formless-nameless Reality-the Brahman or the cosmic
Consciousness. Then , the Brahman became self conscious.
He indulged in self-love and beacme infatuated with
himself. At this stage, the idea 'that I am one, let me
be many' crossed his mind. The idea materialised
instantaneously and the univerese appeared out of
seemingly-nothing. Then to keep the process of creation
going, the Brahman or the primeval consciouness created
the ' Duality' known variously as Ishvara and Maya,
Purush and Prakriti, dues and nature(Latin), Adam and
Eve, Ying and Yang (Chinese), and filled their hearts and
mins with the spirit and feeling of mutual love. This
primordial element of love became the divine-seed of the
creation henceforth.
LOVE is the supreme emotion,
passion, nature, feeling. tendency, motive and
characteristic of all the living being. Love is,
therefore, to be comrehended in its broadest meaning and
wildest connotation. Where as love invloves the sublime
spirit of self-sacrifice, it is equally marked by
passionate utge to possess the objective of love. Love is
undoubtedly a divine quality of human mind. But man has
physical and psychological aspects besides the spiritual
aspect and. therefore, it is quite natural for him to
desire to possess not only the body but also the mind of
his object of love exclusively. Love has a magnetic
effect upon man's total existance-body, mind and soul
taken together. Love is spiritual identification as well
as mental obsession and physical union. Love is the holy
altar at which all human relationships-spiritual.mental
or physical are sanctified.
LOVE is the
supreme force and ultimate factor motivating the
universe.it hardly follows any set of rules, norms or
patterns. Love is both self-sacrifice and envy. Love is
the supreme sense of of belonging.Love is the amborsia
that nourishes and intergates human body, mind,intellect
and soul. Love begins with the natural attraction between
man and woman and it can be moulded into love for
kin,country,wealth, honour, fame ,learning or God.
In the
face of LOVE, life becomes irrelevant, be it the love of
a woman or love of a society or country. As Majnoon
sacrifices his life in pursuit of his beloved Lalila, so
as Bhagat Singh sacrifised his life for his eternal love
for his motherland and Meera drinks her cup of hemlock as
if it were amborsia in pursuit of her beloved Lord
Krishna.
It is very
hard to say about the origin of love about when love was
born for the first time. Love is the precondition of the
origin of life and living beings.All creation followed
love. The character and nature of love has not changed
with the passage of time. it has always been fascinating,
beyond reason and sacred. With love is associated the
basic integrity of man; colour,caste,country,age,richness
and poverty, royality and commonalty-all the barriers do
not come its way. That which ends distinction, and
diffrentiation is known as love. A lowly gillie may fall
in love with an empress and a millionaire may take this
deomestic help as his best love.
LOVE holds
testimony to the tenderness of human heart whereas love
also endows it with tensile strength of the
granite.Often, love has had to confront tradition or
civilisation or social norms. Love is man's natural and
intrinsic trait while cinvilisation, tradition and custom
are extrinsic and artificial barriers bulit around
societies. Love breaks through these barriers, celebrates
the union of hearts and lays bare the futility of rigid
norms, customs and laws placing restrictions on a normal
human urge like love. How hollow these restrictive rules
prove to be when a Heer or Zenib is coerced to sleep with
and produce children form a man she does not love the and
the mere touch of the man she loves and sighs for is
proclaimed a deadly sin. Love scoffs at the social norms
and forms which sanctify martial bonds between unloving
individuals.
LOVE is an
eternal human urge, passion and inpspiration. The quest
for love begins with birth, be it mother and child love,
love between brothers ans sisters, love in the arms of a
beloved, or the love of ideals.
LOVE DEALS
WITH SACRIFICES

LOVE knows
limits. It cannot be circumscribed. The saint -poet Kabir
Das says. " Love grows not in orchards, nor it sells
in market palces. Be it king or a commoner, anyone can
have it exchange for one's head.
LOVE thrives
on self-sacrifice. Love arises in human mind. A diehard
dictator like Hitler who got millions of Jews butchered
mercilessly could not escape the pangs of love. The path
of Love is not easy to pursue. Kabir Das says again
" The house of love is not the house of one's aunt
that one can just walk into it. One who wants to enter
the house of love has to be prepared for self-sacrifice.
"Laila-Majnoon, Sheerin-Earhad, Sohini-
Mahiwal and Heer -Ranjha sacrificed
their lives at the altar of love, and that is why even
today their love sagas touch our hearts and minds and
they are still alive in all of our hearts.
LOVE is not
the synonym of infatuation but at the same time love
sannot be separated from infatuation.Love is a strong
utge whic seeks satisfaction in the possession of the
body and the mind of tis object. SLove is a pure gift and
at the same time love is give and take. One -sided love
can be termed as self -sacrifice, but when the fire of
love kindles the two hearts equally, then love grows,
blooms and fructifies.
In such a
selfish world like this where hatred and viloence are
rampant, love has become a human craving, a rare thing.
Love melts the human heart like wax. That which inspires
one to throw deadly acid uopn the face unrespodning
object of love and mureder and destroy it is not love.
But it is brute passion. love does not coerce the beloved
to respond. Love does not depend upon physical closeness
or distance. It is a clestial ecperience. True Love is
eternal, yet even if it were monetqry, its character remains
the same. When Shubash Chandra Bose develops the binda of
love for his nurse during his sickness in Switzerland, to
be soon separed from her by the call of his first love,
the freedom of his nation, it still remains love and it
fructifies into a daughter. A moment;s intense love
overwhelmed the mind and heart of his beloved to the
extent that she was able to live for the whole life under
its warmth without even thinking of another man.
LOVE is
woderful. Love is great. Love can melt rocks, ans yet has
been a common experience that a tradition-bound
conservative scoiety and parents moved by their lowly
assume a stiffness which is harder than rocks. They would
never melt and they hardly ever bother if their stifness
takes the life of a lover. It has been like this from the
time immemorial and God knows if the human mind shall
ever learn to regard and respect love as sacred.
