“Love, a concept as ancient as time itself, remains often misunderstood.
Despite being described as a journey, a miracle, a gift, a symphony, or even ‘love is God,’ its true nature remains elusive.”
We all recognize its characteristics — giving, a profound sense of connectedness with our soulmates, even the divine craves it.
But despite its omnipresence, the exact definition eludes us. How does love truly function beyond what movies depict?
CONSIDER THIS:
In our vast educational institutions, where knowledge of society’s every facet is imparted, love, the very essence that shapes our existence, is rarely a subject of study.
It seems ironic that the force (love) behind creation itself, honored by the Almighty, finds no place in our curriculum.
Let’s delve into its meaning and origin.
(Picture this: when God was the solitary entity in the cosmos)
∆ IN THE BEGINNING: GOD’S SOLITUDE AND DESIRE
Imagine a time when God existed as the solitary entity in the vast cosmos.
He yearned for companionship, someone to converse with, to love, and to share the experience of life.
However, the solitude was profound; there was no one else to see, talk to, or love.
The Birth of Creation: From Darkness to Light
In this void, God felt a deep need to create something vibrant and alive.
And that is why the black hole he was residing in spread out vast and wide, giving birth to whole galaxies, stars, planets, comets, and eventually to all living beings on Mother Earth, from single-cell organisms to the magnificent dinosaurs.
(He infused his energy or soul into physical matters..)
The Missing Piece: Creation of Humanity
Yet, God sensed something missing in his creation.
He longed for beings that could worship him, communicate with him, and share in the care of all other living beings—be they insects, animals, plants, or humans.
Humanity: A Higher Calling
To fulfill this need, God created a complex being—humanity.
Unlike other creatures, humans were bestowed with independence and skills.
They could cultivate crops, raise livestock, and innovate without having to depend solely on hunting and killing for survival.
Therefore,
In summary, God’s journey from solitude to creation reflects a profound desire for companionship and a nurturing relationship with beings capable of independent thought and action.
Humanity (human beings), with its unique abilities, fulfills God’s vision of a creation that can cherish, nurture, and sustain life in harmony with the universe.
UNDERSTANDING OUR DIVINE CONNECTION THROUGH LOVE
The Divine Essence Within Us
The idea that we are all mini versions of God stems from the belief that the divine scattered its energy particles into every material and physical body to infuse life into the universe
(God dispersed His energy into every physical body and material form to bring life to the universe)
This divine essence resides in all forms of life—be it insects, animals, plants, or humans. This shared divine energy is the reason we feel interconnected with all living beings.
The Power of Our Words and Thoughts
Our words spoken in this 3D reality and our thoughts are heard by the universe.
The universe responds to our desires, beliefs, and intentions, reflecting back what we think and manifest.
This profound connection highlights the importance of our intentions, behavior, and thinking patterns.
It is why we are encouraged to be good and loving individuals.
The True Definition of Love
Love can be understood as both the essence of God and the reason for life itself.
It is the eternal purpose and mission for every human being to achieve this precious feeling of love and to extend it to all living beings—both the living and dead (the wandering souls who may be suffering from untimely death).
True love is about empathy, understanding, and compassion, rather than exploiting these ideas for personal gain or online attention.
The Eternal Soul Beyond the Physical Form
While our physical bodies eventually return to the five elements—earth, air, water, fire, and space—what remains eternal is the divine spark (soul) within us.
This soul or energy is a miniature version of the universe itself.
This is why all True Religions promote love, kindness, care, and respect for everyone, irrespective of societal or man-made divisions based on color, species, religion, caste, sex, race, status, position, or education.
In the cosmos, what truly matters is the creation of all life through love.
The Cosmic Role of Love
God exists where love flourishes.
It is through overcoming negative emotions
—such as envy, conflict, abuse, hatred, discrimination, violence, and disrespect or so on…
—that we align ourselves with the divine essence.
By embracing love and kindness, we reflect the true nature of the universe and fulfill our spiritual purpose.
Therefore,
In summary, the idea that we are all expressions of the divine energy emphasizes our inherent connection with one another and with the universe.
Love is the guiding force that shapes our existence and is the ultimate mission for every human being.
By cultivating love and compassion, we align ourselves with the divine essence and contribute to the beauty of the world.
∆ NOAH ‘S ARK (GENESIS 6-9)
CAUSES:
1. Human Wickedness:
The primary cause of the flood was the wickedness and corruption of humanity.
The Bible describes how people’s hearts were filled with evil continually (Genesis 6:5).
2. Divine Judgment:
God decided to cleanse the earth of its corruption and start anew.
He chose to send a great flood to destroy all life except for Noah, his family, and pairs of every kind of animal (Genesis 6:7).
Aftermath
1. Covenant with Noah:
After the floodwaters receded, Noah, his family, and the animals emerged from the ark.
God made a covenant with Noah, promising never to destroy all life with a flood again.
The rainbow was given as a sign of this covenant (Genesis 9:12-17).
2. Repopulation:
Noah’s family repopulated the earth. His sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, became the ancestors of all nations.
3. Renewed Blessings:
God blessed Noah and his sons, instructing them to be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth (Genesis 9:1).
4. Spreading Love Instead of Violence:
God’s intention was not just to reset humanity but to establish a new order based on love and righteousness instead of violence and corruption.
By starting anew with Noah, a righteous man, God aimed for future generations to live in harmony, spreading love and compassion.
∆ SIMILAR STORY IN HINDUISM: MATSYA AVATAR FROM THE VISHNU PURANA
In Hindu mythology, the story of the Matsya Avatar of Lord Vishnu shares similarities with the story of Noah’s Ark.
MATSYA AVATAR
1. CAUSES
– Corruption and Immorality:
The world was filled with corruption and immorality, prompting the gods to decide on a great flood to cleanse the earth.
– Divine Plan:
Lord Vishnu, in his Matsya (fish) avatar, decided to save the pious and the sacred scriptures (Vedas).
(YOUTUBE LINK : VISHNU PURAN EPISODE 8 ) ; (YOUTUBE LINK : VISHNU PURAN EPISODE 9)
2. The Story
– King Manu:
The protagonist is King Manu, who is warned by Lord Vishnu, appearing as a small fish, about the impending deluge.
– The Boat:
Manu is instructed to build a large boat.
He is told to gather the seven great sages (Saptarishi), seeds of all plants, and one of each species of animals.
– The Flood:
As the floodwaters rise, Manu’s boat is tied to the horn of the giant fish (Matsya), who guides it to safety atop the Himalayas.
3. Aftermath
– Restoration:
After the flood subsides, Manu and the sages repopulate the earth, similar to Noah’s story.
– Preservation of Knowledge:
The Vedas and all forms of life are preserved, ensuring the continuation of creation and knowledge.
– Spreading Love and Dharma:
Just as in Noah’s story, the survivors were expected to lead lives of righteousness and love.
Manu and the sages were to spread dharma (moral order), compassion, and harmony across the renewed world.
∆ COMPARISON
– Divine Warning and Instruction:
Both stories involve a divine warning about an impending flood and instructions to build a vessel to save life.
– Cleansing Of The Earth:
The flood serves as a means to cleanse the world of corruption in both accounts.
– Survival and Repopulation:
Both narratives involve the survival of a select group (Noah’s family and Manu with the sages) who repopulate and renew the earth post-flood.
– Divine Protection And Covenant:
God’s covenant with Noah and Lord Vishnu’s guidance of Manu’s boat highlight divine protection and a promise for the future.
– Promotion Of Love And Righteousness:
Both stories emphasize a divine desire for a new beginning characterized by love, righteousness, and moral integrity.
The survivors were expected to foster a world where compassion, love, and ethical behavior replaced the previous violence and corruption.
These stories from different religious traditions reflect a shared theme of divine intervention, the importance of righteousness,
and the renewal of life following a great cataclysm, with an added focus on spreading love and peace in the new world.
{ To make my point more valid for you all, let’s dive into stories from the Bible and the Vishnu Purana (Hinduism) } Let’s all remember a similar story from both:
THE DIVINE PLAN AND THE GREAT FLOOD
God didn’t even give a second thought to flooding the earth, which was filled with violence and corruption instead of love, in order to start again.
Humans had forgotten to carry out His divine plan and mission to love, to spread love, and to live in love with all.
THE ESSENCE OF LOVE
Now you all see—love is God, love is life, love is the reason why we are alive.
This is the only purpose—God wants humans to be born, to die, to be reborn, again and again, until they understand that their main work is to become love, to live like love, and to spread love.
THE HOLY TEMPLE
God resides in our bodies, and hence our bodies are holy temples.
Fill your temple space with love, respect, care, and kindness for all other living beings (other God temples or abodes, be they insects, animals, plants, humans, or even the dead).
Also, respect and care for our MOTHER EARTH.
KEY POINTS TO REMEMBER
– GOD’S DIVINE PLAN:
Humans must carry out God’s mission to love, spread love, and live in love with all.
– LOVE IS THE CORE:
Love is God, love is life, and love is the reason for our existence.
– CYCLE OF REBIRTH:
God wants humans to be born, die, and be reborn until they understand their purpose is to embody and spread love.
– HOLY TEMPLES:
Our bodies are holy temples that should be filled with love, respect, care, and kindness for all living beings and the earth.
∆ The Challenge of Love in Kaliyuga
In today’s world, sustaining love has become increasingly difficult.
We are living in what many refer to as Kaliyuga, an era dominated by negative forces that distract and deceive us.
These forces aim to make us believe we have less self-worth, low confidence, and no inner magic.
Consequently, people may turn to negative behaviors such as killing, fraud, cheating, manipulation, substance abuse, black magic, corruption, and violence.
This essentially recruits us into an army (of evil or devil) against God, using us as mediums for these destructive actions.
HOW NEGATIVE FORCES OPERATE
Negative forces operate by diminishing your divine energy.
They shake your trust in both God and yourself, leading to a polluted state weighed down by bad karma.
This diversion from your spiritual path results in an accumulation of negative actions and feelings.
THE PATH TO DIVINE ABUNDANCE
To feel divinely abundant and capable of achieving anything, you must embrace love.
Even though it may seem tough, love is actually quite easy in a different realm or in perfect world where people are free from
– societal and familial trauma, pressures, unnecessary restrictions, and man-made discrimination.
In this perfect world, people live without violence, hatred, jealousy, corruption, lack of enlightenment, and spiritual misalignment.
But in our real world, things have become brutally messed up.
We must fight the battle with the demon inside us to overcome these challenges and distractions created by the devil to stop us from believing in true love.
By confronting our inner demons and staying true to our values, we can rediscover the power of love.
This inner battle is crucial for personal growth, spiritual enlightenment, and the ability to build a world filled with compassion and understanding.
Only by facing these challenges head-on can we transform ourselves and our surroundings, ultimately achieving a higher state of being and harmony.
FIGHTING THE BATTLE AGAINST NEGATIVE FORCES
In order to experience true divine love, you must fight against the devil.
The devil seeks to keep you away from love by making you fall into the negative patterns mentioned earlier, leading you towards a hellish existence.
By resisting these temptations and negative influences, you can become love, embody divinity, and ultimately become more powerful than evil.
This is why evil fears us and doesn’t want us to experience love because
—it knows that love provides the strength to become our highest selves.
(Love makes people more powerful, providing the strength to become their highest selves).
MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT LOVE
There are many influences in today’s era that make people believe love only brings pain and problems.
However, love is actually the pathway to becoming divine, God’s best friend, and the most powerful version of yourself.
Understanding this helps explain why it is crucial to embrace love, despite the challenges we face in Kaliyuga.
∆ EMBRACE LOVE FOR TRANSFORMATION
In summary, while love may seem challenging in these times, it remains a transformative force leading to divine abundance and personal empowerment.
By embracing love, you can overcome the negative influences of our era and achieve your highest potential.
Love is the key to transcending the difficulties of Kaliyuga and realizing your true, divine nature.
