Love is the most precious wealth

Love emanates from the human heart and is more powerful than the mind which is very shrewd, cunning, egotist, judgmental and biased. Love does not discriminate between rich and poor, friend and stranger and other artificial man-made barriers. Love is an avalanche of goodness. Love knows no enemies. It is universal in nature. Love is not infatuation or physical attraction which borders on lust and eroticism. A burgeoning love is a fountain of bliss ensuring happiness no matter what the external conditions are. It is not rational or logical as the intuitive logic of love is very authentic and impartial. A semblance of love turns foes into friends and defuses any intractable problem. There is a very famous parable about the legendary and enlightened master Gautam Buddha. An avowed enemy sage sent a berserk elephant to crush Gautam Buddha. The elephant charged towards Gautam Buddha with the intention to crush him but stopped short and fell, prostrate on the feet of Gautam Buddha who showed immense love. This goes to prove beyond doubt the phenomenal power of love.

Love is the most potent emotion turning every foe into a friend. Sublime love is beyond passion and infatuation. For a person replete with love will have no enemies in the world as he treats every sentient being as an integral part of divinity. A person nursing love would not have even a modicum of rancor. Our skewed thinking makes us feel the love between man and woman as the apogee of love but it is merely erotic love. No doubt, man and woman transcend erotic love and accept his/her spouse beyond physical love. Kindness is love in motion. A human being bereft of sublime love is no more than a beast. Sublime love triggers euphoria, ecstasy, enthusiasm, energy, and exhilaration. Pure love creates mirabilia beyond our wildest dreams and imaginations. Love is a panacea for all afflictions. It is the lingua franca of the universe.

The human history is replete with many great men who displayed sublime love transcending all petty biases. Dr. Nelson Mandela was a legendary leader leading the charge to besmirch Apartheid scourge for which he was incarcerated in a solitary cell for 28 years in Robin Island but he showed no vindictiveness for the whites which was evident from the fact that he inducted even whites as ministers. Dr. Martin Luther King junior also shoed immense love for his oppressors. When we return hatred with love even the avowed enemy sheds his rancor and becomes your close ally. Love triggers well-being enzymes like serotonin, dopamine, and other positive enzymes. There are many health benefits in mental health, physical health, spiritual health, and emotional health. When we are brimming with love our mind works very efficiently and boosts our happiness. Other benefits of love emotion are we have a wide network of friends enabling great family and social life. Humans have two emotions viz. love and fear. If we opt for love we are very happy leading to phenomenal success, Love is a divine sacrament ensuring immense and eternal bliss. Fear emanates from insecurity, selfishness, anger, envy, hatred and all such negative and deleterious. Love is a tranquil power leading to enormous amount of bliss and shares its bliss with those we encounter. Love makes us loveable and adorable. Love begets love burgeoning humanity, camaraderie, and bonhomie.

All the problems in the world are there because of lack of love. If everyone loves everyone then there would be peace, affluence, and harmony. There would be a salubrious society congenial to thriving of humanity. All the dictators, despots, terrorists, and villains of the humanity were there, are there and will be there due to lack of love from other people. Even a single virtue of love can make us be blessed with bliss, affluence, and peace. Love should be unequivocal and unconditional. Love is an elixir of bliss. Even a lethal nuclear bomb cannot destroy a person possessed with love. It’s necessary for the entire mankind to adopt the philosophy of universal love transcending all the biases of religion, country, race, caste, language, and gender.

Let us all commit to spreading love to bring a phenomenal catharsis in the beautiful world.
