The word love has been misused to such an extent, that every step of the way we question its meaning. If this were real love, then how can it be like this? Where can one find love? What is real love?
Only the Gnani (The Enlightened One) who is the embodiment of love can give us the real definition of love. Real love does not increase or decrease. That which increases or decreases is not love; it is infatuation and attraction (attachment, infatuation or love associated with expectation)! Only love of the Supreme Soul has no expectations or self-interest. It is the love that does not look for faults and never changes. It does not overflow when someone offers praise nor does it turn hostile towards the one who insults. This kind of constant and unlimited love is the incarnate Supreme Soul of the Gnani. Such unparalleled love can only be discerned in the Gnani Purush or a complete Vitrag (one who is free from any attachment) Lord.
called love?
In worldly interactions, only love can win over children, workers and everyone else. Any other means will ultimately prove to be futile.
Even in this time cycle, thousands of people have experienced the supreme love in Pujya Shree Dada Bhagwan. If a person were to experience this love and oneness of being with the Gnani Purush just once, he will constantly meditate on Dada. Dada will always be in his memory, in spite of being bound by life's miseries!
For years now, thousands of people have not been able to forget Dada, even for a second. That is the greatest wonder of our times! Thousands have met him but his compassion and love has been bestowed on them all and they have all experienced it. Each person individually feels that he is favored over others when it comes to being blessed.
One can never find anything comparable to the love of the one who is a complete Vitrag. If one were to behold a Vitrag and experience his aura of detachment (vitragta) just once in his life, he would surrender himself completely. He will never be able to forget that love for even a moment!
People believe that moha (attachment) is love! In moha, there is expectation of reward! If this reward is not received, the person feels dejected! There should be sincerity in love and not close-mindedness. A mother's love is considered the highest in the world, but it too has expectations and disappointments in every comer. It is called infatuation and attraction because there is moha associated with it.
A young man's success at school is celebrated with a party by his parents. They never tire of praising him! They buy him a motorbike and within a few days he wrecks it. The parents get angry and call him all kinds of names and tell him that he does not deserve anything. They take back the 'certificate of merit' they gave him only a few days ago. All their love vanishes! Can this be
One sees the results and fruits of Dada's compassion, love and his unwavering awareness of how people in this world can achieve salvation.
If one wants to acquire the supreme love, a love that this world has not seen, heard, believed or experienced before, then one should worship the living embodiment of love, the Gnani Purush. How is it possible to put this all in words?
