Harmony in Marriage
Dadashri : The love that goes beyond its natural
boundary is love of attachment and attraction. What the world
calls love is love of this kind; it is a state of temporary attraction
that is subject to repulsion.
This attraction and so-called ‘love’ is like the attraction
between a magnet and a needle. There is no such thing as love
in it. The inner force that draws man and woman together is
similar to the attraction between a needle and a magnet. Not
being aware of this phenomenon, he thinks it is love that is
pulling him. Real love exists in the heart of a Gnani, the
Awakened One.
Pure Love is The Absolute Self. There is no other
definition of the Absolute Self. That is the only location where
final peace and harmony exists. That is the only place where the
heart will rest. The heart will be soothed in two ways, through
a woman, and through a Gnani. The woman will make you slip
into the worldly life. The Gnani will free you from the worldly
life, liberating you forever.
Love that is free from anger, pride, greed, and attachment,
love that is beyond the sexual genders, love that remains constant,
love that neither decreases nor increases, is called ‘pure love’.
This is the love of the Gnani. This is where the heart rests.
I am the embodiment of pure love. If you become
intoxicated with this love, you will forget the world. Find this
love, feel its intoxication, and your world will run smoothly and
harmoniously.
