Lovers and Love

"Love". Everyone is fimiliar with this word. Some believe in it some don't. But as manmukh humans we try to find this phenomena in this world. Some succeeding, while some failing. And yet those who succeed find themselves alone at some point of relationship. And this Saints tells us is the lonliness of soul looking for that one true love.. the creator. This lonliness is indication of the soul telling mind that it needs to go back. It's not happy here. Mind as usual trying to find pleasure and happiness in this world according to the dictates of senses , keeps ignoring the indications. And keep trying to find that one love in this world of maya.

Untill one fine day some lucky ones meet the perfect MASTER. :) And their search for love is over. If they can just understand this. That search is over. Many still never realise this. But many do with HIS love and grace. :)

We are not capable of loving HIM. It's HIS love which pulls us, and we think we love HIM.. In fact it's HE who is loving us, and pulling us back home. So today i sat down and thought about lovers... or so called lovers of MASTER, when in fact every where HE himself is the lover loving HIMSELF thru us. Still in my human mind the thought arise and with my limited human capabilities i picked out three kind of lovers... or the soul in love..or the human beings initiated by perfect MASTER starting or walking on the path of one true love that leads the soul to it's royal palace, a place of love, peace and bliss. :)

We all at some point of time have experienced love, and are aware of the high and low feelings love can bring. New love - u want to stand on the roof top and shout so that whole world can hear u are in love. The bubbly kind of new love starting , new feelings, new happiness. And that's how the first kind of lovers are. They are those who can't stop talking about their own feelings. Any thing new and they want to shout it out. " ishq de naviyo navi bahar"[ the new happiness of love].
These types of lovers are on first stage of love and are unable to digest any thing. But the love is not deep down absorbed yet. Attention is still wondering in the world. It's like putting feets in two boats. One is the love of world and senses and the other is love of path. The feeling of attainable goal of the world beyond imagination, that MASTER has promised. Yet not commited completely. Believing perhaps that the day they will really set their mind to achieve this goal, they will achieve it easily. difficulties they read are for others. Their love is strong enuf to overcome and they can achieve. Till then their mind is still pulled towards the happiness this world can perhaps still offer. :)

second kind of lovers are silent one. They have crossed the naviyo navi bahar stage. They have travelled and know how hard it is to seek beloved inside. They have the look of yearning lovers. Who have lost interest in this world, and yet are unable to hold beloved within. They are now silent. Coz no word can explain what they are feeling. They are sometimes at peace and sometimes in agony. They are preparing for union. coz they now know the seperation. :)
ofcourse to reach this stage u are meditating and finding hard to hold on to that stillness which can bring beloved in focus. So to reach here meditation.... as usual is must. :)

Then there are third kind. Fortunately for this little soul she has seen these one's too. She has seen the look that she is now describing ...on their beloved faces. These are completely silent. They don't ever utter single unnecessary word, and yet their whole body speaks. :)
On their face is undescribable peace. Their eyes have a look as if they are constantly beholding the" Beloved's face". They are with beloved and beloved is their constant companion. Their face holds a loving smile. As if all they can see is beloved. They have this dreamy look as if they are somewhere else. Only body is performing the karmas... their soul is completely with ...HIM.. :)
"Apne chehre ka noor he bus tum le jaoge." U'll only take with u the light of ur face...
Their faces have that light. :) Yes...they are the one's with successful meditation behind them. They have well travelled the road and reached the destination. They have made sure their human birth is not wasted. They have achieved love..and they are ..... lovers... :)

Ofcourse their are those too who gets initiation from perfect MASTER and forget about one promise they made..finding every excuse available for not being able to sit. But then they forget that if they won't start walking on the road.. they won't reach destination..not in this life. To go thru and reach to the third kind of lover's stage... we are suppose to start travelling. And believe me the third kind of lovers faces says all... makes u want to rush and reach there. To have that Noor on our own face...that contentment and peace ....in our soul..and that loving gaze..which seems to be continuosly beholding the face of beloved, HIS loving gaze. That look in eyes..says all. It's to be experienced . not just keep reading but reaching there and taste that bliss reflected on those faces. Just to be able to taste that once, to have that love and light on ur own soul...reflected on ur own face... For just once....
Give me the pain of ur love,
nothing but the pain of ur love,
and i'll gladly give anything in return.

So travellers...start travelling and travel well... For who knows when beloved will show mercy and reveal HIMSELF to us...Be sure to be waiting for that moment...And not waste it while sleeping or finding excuses. Coz love after all is the only thing worth having ....And that too of......HIS love.. :)
