The Nature Of Love (Part 1)
Love is the only eternal and indestructible force . It is an unbreakable
bond , that is capable of uniting species , elements and life forms. It mirrors
the exact nature of Infinite Creative Intelligence(God) . It is the greatest
warrior known to do battles. It is the center of all greatness . It is the food
of the “gods” and the drink of the “elders”.
Love is in fact the greatest power of all . Nothing can stand this power
, no evil or treachery , wiles or mischief , demon or angelic force , that can
resist the power of love.
Dynamic
Nature Of Love
Love is spiritual . It is not dependent upon physical
attributes or characteristics. Love is a yardstick that can be used to measure
spirituality . The more you are able to love , the closer you are in affinity
with the father of spirits , Infinite Creative Intelligence . You cannot see
love or touch its garments , but you can feel
its presence . Love knows no limits or boundaries . It can travel across
continents , seas , planes , and horizons .
Love is selfless , it is not
centered on oneself but on others. It places the object before the subject ;
that is , it gives more preference to others and their needs . It is not
interested in personal gains but in general welfare.
Love is blind . It is blinded
to faults , defects , failings and mistakes . It acknowledges their existence,
but only sees good , no matter how evil, wicked , ugly or erroneous one can be.
Love sees and continually seeks virtue ,
truth and beauty in people and circumstances . Beauty they say is in the eyes
of the beholder . But , we in this park have come to discover that true beauty
can only be seen with the eyes of love . For you to actually see and appreciate
the true beauty of yourself , people , nature, etc, you have to look with the
eyes of love .
Love is everlasting . It can never die .
Neither circumstances nor time, neither distance nor events, neither peril nor
death ; can quench the fire of love . The moment love holds its grip on you ,
it never lets go. You may then ask , why the saying , “I don't love you
anymore”, is so common ? The following lines would satisfy your query .
Progressive
Nature Of Love
Love is a seed . As a seed
it requires the right environment to grow. It can only survive in an atmosphere
of affection , care , patience, perseverance and trust. As a seed, it can also
die . “death” of love may also occur in the process of growth . This is where
the “i don't love you any more”, may come in . Does these statements contradict
the preceding ones ? No, not if you understand the point i'm trying to portray
.
A “mango seed” may also be
called a “mango” , because it contains all the qualities of becoming one . So
also , A “love seed” may also be called “love” , because it contains all the
attributes of becoming “love”.
A man has three stages of
development :
I. The Zygote - Infant stage
II. Child – Adolescent stage
III.
Adult stage
In all three stages of growth , it is the
same person , the only difference is their physical and mental; characteristics
.
Love , with respect to its progressive
nature has got three stages. They are :
I. The
seed Stage
II. The
Transit Stage
III.
The ultimate Stage
At the seed stage , physical
attractions and personal interest is dominant . At the transit stage , physical
expression and contact as well as deeper
intimacy and communication is experienced . There is also a decline in personal
interests and more focus is placed on the “object” than the “subject”. This is
the stage where most of the “heart breaks” may occurs. And not many has been
able to get past this stage . At the ultimate stage , it possess the dynamic
nature . This is the stage where nothing can caulk it . This is the stage where
you can correctly use the word LOVE.(To be Continued...)
