You are because of Love

We exist because of love. It's not that we exist and then love, it's actually the reverse case. Love made us. What we call "love" in our general language is simply a puny expression of the true love, simply to progress the breeding, to progress through evolution. Love is the driver of our race, it is the driver of our existence. We all are simply but expressions of that love, and this individual expressions(us) express a reduced and disguised form of that love to others. This is artificial love.

The "attraction" or lust of this artificial love is a bodily concept. It is man-made and the love which I am talking about has nothing to do with it. My argument is for the completely unconditional love, which connect us, which makes us see the essence of beings. When you are in a conversation, you or your consciousness instantly get connected to the essence, to the flavor of the conversation. All who are deeply shared is united through a conscious experience. Whenever you listen to music, have it been occurred that you become the music? There is no listener of it, there is no music which is being listened to, just one existence- the music itself. There is no subject-object split, only One. The listener disappears, you just enter in to music- you become music. You forget your "self" and unite with it. This is the true love. Which does not lure for any physical pleasures. Instead, it lures for unification. It has attraction, but that attraction is not lust, the attraction is not for physical pleasures, it is simply for unification.To become One. Similarly, if you are involved with coding, if you are involved with may be sports of any passion, which you are attracted to unconditionally, it is love. You unite with it. You don't need any extra pleasure from it. Just the very act itself is bliss.  If, you are an expert at it, if you do it extremely well, it has been scientifically defined as "flow", in sports it is famous as "zone". There is no distinct selves. They are only separated physically, but in experience they are one. You may not do it that well so as to get into the "flow" or "zone", but if you do it unconditionally, you disappear and only the unification exists, there is no extra pleasure required. Unification is the only pleasure in itself in the case of true love. And this same love is what exactly have created us.

Christians are right. God is love. He is all perfect being, beyond comprehension, beyond understanding, He does not not lie within understanding, He is not bound by limits and He cannot be described by any words. He is all contained and is all perfect, He does not need anything or anybody. But He wants you because He loves you. Such is His love that He does not need you but still want you. The rest of the passages in the Bible are simply non-sensical and at least barbarous, but this is extremely profound.

This love is the most natural thing we possess. Men inherently is good, it is the evil which is secondary. We, in the purest essence are love. It is different from, how we describe it in real life like "I love her" or "I love him". It is slightly different experience. You are love which means it is completely unconditional. It is spiritual.


Spirituality is just peeping inside yourself. The thoughts are the cover of mind, when you stop them you dive deeper and deeper.You outer self which you show to others or live thinking it as "self" is simply a cover, it is just a reflection of you which is visible to the surroundings. But your inner life is actually the reflection of your surroundings to your heart. Once you turn your eyes towards this mirror, everything which your mortal eyes perceive automatically becomes crystal clear. And when it is completely done, you find there is nobody. You start by seeking yourself, but in reality there is no self. Neither the finder is found, nor is what was to be sought is found. It is One. This is the point where Adi Shakara comes with his work on Advaita. The whole existence is One, and the actions being done are for unification driven by love. It is the true love.


In several religions, love is considered as "impure", it is not love which is impure, it is their mind which is. Males having higher dominance earlier built religion around themselves considering females as secondary, a weaker section or at very worst "doors to hell". It was because they did not know true love. They did not even like to touch women, see women. They try to be as far as possible, If you don't have any urges, why do you run away from women? Women is passive, you are active. You are not running away from women, you are running from yourself. It is stupidity. And these stupid people get acclaimed because the general public is also entangled in the artificial love, hence they considered these "saints" as very special, because to them "renouncing" love is a heroic task, a task which is very difficult hence deserved applauds when committed.

 But real spiritual leaders always emphasized on love. This is where Sufism gets it right. Sufis, Mystics have repeatedly preached free love. A love which is pure, unconditional, not directional but universal, not bound but limitless. Spirituality is seeing what is naturally present inside us, beyond human concepts of thoughts, emotions,etc. And if you go on to silent your mind and go on to dive deeper and deeper, you will find One which is Love. Love which created us.


By the way, in scientific world, there is a consensus that gravity created the Universe. And gravity means "attraction".


Ohh!
