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 Vitarag ( one who is free from any attachment ) Lord .
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 corner . 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 called love ?
In worldly interactions , only love can win over children ,
