Of love and God
Love is a symptom of spirituality. It is the God inside us manifesting Himself, ever so briefly, in an external object - living or otherwise. That manifestation, and our identifying it, is a call from the inside to look inward. To pursue the Paramatma. The object itself is not really important. However that fleeting symptom of spiritual possibility remains etched in our memory as something desirable. That memory becomes an emotion and manifests itself as a feeling every time we come across that object. Nothing wrong in identifying that symptom with that object that gave rise to it. The problem is we forget that the object was a trigger. The purpose of that trigger was to seek the source inside us that responded to that trigger. The source inside, or the Paramatma, has just given us a signal as to the purpose of our life. And that is to pursue that symptom and find its source - the Paramatma Himself. Love, therefore, is a clear clarion call to be spiritual, to seek the God within. Thos
