Tere Ishq Ki Inteha Chahta Houn, Meri Saadgi Dekh Kya Chahta Houn, Ye Jannat Mubarak Rahe Zahidoun Ko, Ki Mei Apka Saamna Chahta Houn
Mankind has lost the peace and order and every human being quests to restore its pristine glory, i.e., to live a peaceful and prosperous life, but others can’t be blamed for the ongoing turmoil and chaos as the situation asks for account of our own action . Today the people are stranded in the line of deception and as such the restoration of smoothness and taste of life won’t be achieved till the situation persists even if material progress touches the skies. Among the illusions the misconception of love is the worst illusion. It gives rise to all the conflicts. Love; the word love belongs to a situation, which is beyond the world but it has slipped into the worldly interactions and people’s daily lives. When people talk about love in this world they say it without understanding what it is. People of this world only satisfy their desires (whether lust, greed, ego OR it may be peace or bliss) in the name of love. In reality 99% of the people in this world don’t understand love at all. As if we look into the worldly love, it’s based on expectations which lasts only for a shorter period of time as the condition it’s based on, ends! Love disappears. Let me understand you by this point; if a person falls in love with another person as he finds serenity and bliss of his life in that person, and in return if the person he falls for didn’t fulfill his such condition, he didn’t make his life the way he had expected, will that love perpetuate? The love, not the love, but the expectation will turn into hate and remember love & hate can’t co-exist. The world is very selfish. As long as there is ego of ‘I am’ there is selfishness and wherever there is selfishness, there can never be love and wherever there is love, selfishness can’t exist there. It is because of selfishness and ignorance that people have feelings of ‘this is mine and this is yours’. There is no such thing as love in this world. It is all infatuation and attraction. We realize this right away when someone we love says something negative about us. The strongest love as per human intellect is the love of parents, kins, siblings, relative or spouses. But this all is an illusion as this all is based upon expectations and conditions, the expectations may be positive or negative. Once the expectation gets hurted the love changes its intensity, diminishes or disappears completely. As its common to us; parents likes their submissive children more, but if anytime the child fails to obey their parents, the love for the child starts breaking. Can we still call it love?. Now, What if people shed tears, can we say there is love? This too isn’t love, because they cry out of selfish motives. The attachment and emotional bond they have framed breaks, which is their self interest. Do not fall prey to illusionary attraction which ends-up as divorces and breakups and ruins our lives. These days, boys and girls fall in love because of infatuation and attraction which at last ends with individual or social conflicts taking away the lives and wealth of people. One sees a beautiful face, and falls in love with it. But this is not love because there is a condition of beauty, now suppose if suddenly that beauty fades away, condition ends and automatically notion of love changes path. Sometimes this false attraction leads us to such a level that a person prefers death over life because he didn’t get what he expected and then a person frames the intention to meet the desired thing at spiritual world and departs thereby kills himself/herself, it is all a mere illusion, because the person’s own actions determines where a person will go, not what he will desire. This only puts burden on mankind.
Don’t look for the love that ends at divorces and breakups in the future. Look for the kind of love that will bring peace, bliss and prosperity to life.
Then what is real love? Love without expectation does not exist in the worldly life. Real love can never be found in this worldly life. Real love is divine. Real love begins the moment one begins to understand one’s Real Self (the soul). The real love is which resides in the heart and remains the same; real love never increases or decreases. Real love doesn’t see faults. Real life remains unchanging, whenever a person feels it, it’s always same, it never gets old or expire. If a parent sees faults in children, then it is not love. Real love is the love for God without any condition. The signs of a true believer is the submission to God without any expectation even not of heavens. The one who prays and prostrates in front of Almighty Allah only during the time of his need (condition) doesn’t please his Lord. The best among creations in front of creator is the one who loves him unconditionally and in reality they are the ones to whom Allah is pleased with. So what must one do to acquire the eternal, pure, powerful love of the God, the real love? During the person’s final breath, why one is not able to call out to God? It is because one can take the name of that which one has a desire for. One is preoccupied by his desires. When the person’s desire is not for the God and he is not preoccupied by God. The desire for God is there, but certain karmic veils of darkness prevent a person from taking God’s name. How can one take God’s name without having the love for God? Real love is sincere, no matter how many terms or conditions of an agreement or promises are broken by the others, the one with real love continues to remain sincere. Such sincerity remains in the actions and also in the eyes of the one with real love. All the love in the world is an illusion, singing the songs of love is all in vain, because all the humans have their own desires which doesn’t let them love fully and only Gods love is pure, eternal and peaceful because God is free of greeds, desires and he is the owner of all the treasures and we are the utilizers. Let’s conclude with the fact to introspect and comprehend the reality. Don’t look for the love that ends at divorces and breakups in the future. Look for the kind of love that will bring peace, bliss and prosperity to life.
