The Guru and t
still see that love and realize what love incarnate is. Are you
getting anything out of what I am saying?
Questioner: Yes absolutely.
Dadashri: Yes, be warned, otherwise you will find
yourself becoming a fool. Can there ever be love in such
relationships? How can you expect to see love in others when
you do not have it yourself? It is only when you have love within
you that you will see it in others. Beware! When you search for
real love, know that you will not find it. The so-called love of
nowadays is only selfish love. People are taking advantage of
each other whenever they can, whether they know it or not.
One is enjoying the other without regards for the other, and that
is not love; it is exploitation.
Where Is Love In All This?
One will find out about this so-called love between a
husband and wife the day the husband does not bring home any
money. His wife will be infuriated. She will even say words like,
‘Shall I cook your feet in the fire?’ Where does all her love go
at that time? It was all infatuation and attraction. Love is there
as long as there is food and a good home. If the husband then
goes on to have an affair, she will threaten to leave him. The
poor husband gives in because he feels guilty. What is the point
of this kind of love? Somehow one has to get on with life. The
husband has to bring home the money and the wife has to
prepare the meals. This is how the husband and wife push the
cart of their life forward.
Infatuation And Attraction Causes Reaction
Questioner: Why is it that sometimes although we do
not want to harbor abhorrence towards others, we still end up
doing it?
Dadashri: Whom are you referring to?
