Day 43
Such intense love for the Divine shines through here and there, somewhere and sometimes. Every human being is nothing but a vessel to hold the consciousness. There is no difference between me and you and you and him and him and her. We are all just empty bowls.
Everyone is nothing but an empty bowl, and the same space is in all the bowls. In ancient India, the example of the earthen pot was given. The body is like an earthen pot and the soul is contained in the earthen pot as an individual soul.
The moment the pot is broken, the space remains in space. Nothing has happened to the space. We are all pots. Every living creature is a pot. But such Divine love shines though only in some pots. Prakashate kvapi patre - Not that it is not there. But it shines through in some pots.
It is present everywhere, in all pots. But it only shines through, manifests somewhere here and there, on a rare occasion, once in thousands of years, once in a few centuries. Such deep Divine love shines through, so that all other pots also can get inspired to shine that same.
It is free from the three types of different love. There are three types of loveSatvik love is unconditional love. I love you for what you are, not because you did something for me. You helped me so much, so I love youthis Rajasik love is the second type of love.
I love you because you did this for me. Tamasik love is the third type of love. Tamasik love is love because we have a common enemy - "I don't like that person. Oh, you also do not like that person? Come we are friends, we love each other.”
The first category of love is “I love you because the way you are is simply lovable. What you did to me is not a matter of concern at all.” "Because you give me some pleasure, because you helped me, because you care for me, I love you,” is Rajasik love.
There is a string attached to Rajasik love. Loving because you hate somebody else is Tamasik love. Making friends to gain strength to hate is Tamasik love . Do you see what I am saying? Often two people get together just because they have a common enemy.
Their common goal is to eliminate or destroy something, so they get together. That bonding out of ignorance, out of dullness or destruction is Tamasik love. Divine love is beyond it transcends all these three types of love.
There are no Strings attached in that love. “If you love me, I love you, if you do this thing to me, I love you. If you are nice to me, then I love you.” How about if I am not nice to you, would you still love me? No question.
These conditional strings are attached to your expression of feelings of love. Divine love is kamanarahitam is devoid of any strings, any desires, any conditions.
