Chapter 12: Love needs no Proof

HE says there are two aspects in Life - Liking and Learning; for the former, you don't need any time, its simply happens, while for the latetr, one needs time, for example, learning to sing /play guitar /cook etc. Wjile one needs a little effort, the other is effortless! Similarly, for knowledge, a little effort and some awareness is required. Love, on the other hand, requires no time, unlike knowledge. Narada says it is so easy to be in Divine Love. Infact he says it is more difficult to not be in Love.

Just like its is easier to accept people as they are; its much harder to not accept people as they are! HE says, choose the easiest path as we all love comfort. We all seek comfort. Our ancestors did more physical work and were healthier (Sattvic). But today, everything is ready to go, pre digested, pre cooked!! (Rajasic). Its all just chemicals. It appears easy but makes life difficult as we become unhealthy later.

Life needs both learning and liking. Its is easy to learn what you like, with little effort. When there is Love, learning becomes easy. Look at today's children's books, its so difficult, there is no love. Narada says to love something is the Easiest thing. For some people, meditation is difficult, but if they love God, it will happen easily. The mind goes to only where there is love - thinking about children, watching movies..

HE says love is like a teenager - looking for its beloved. make the beloved (God) your Valentine. No need to put much effort to meditate or pray. For example, when we are thirsty, we drink water. There is no need for any other Proof; if there is pain, you need no proof.
For example, when we feel thirsty, we don't need proof, we drink water, when we feel hungry, we don't need proof, we eat food, when we feel tired, we don't need proof, we rest.

Similarly, LOVE NEEDS NO PROOF. look at a six month old baby's eyes, there is only Love. When there is love, it is self evident, there is no need for proof. Also, for some questions, it is better to give no answers. For example, people ask HIM if HE is enlightened or people asked Jesus if he was Son of God. If someone has love, it pours out of every being. If you are sensitive, you can feel and experience it. Love needs no proof. You can hide hatred to some extent, but you cannot hide love. Narada is asked, "What is Love?" He says Love is Peace, Serenity. Divine Love spreads bliss, peace.

Such love permeates around the Enlightened, they radiate contenement which is itself a proof, and is self evident. The emotional love is all fine but the idea is to gain the higher - Divine Love where there is no seeking, where is no lack. bliss is not a drama. Even actions like anger etc., can be out of Bliss. You can recognise love only through the Heart.
