Love and Godly Love

Love manifests itself in various colors. During childhood, one is immersed in playing with toys; youthful days are engrossed in the sensual and sexual pursuits; middle age is spent accumulating wealth and power, chasing prestige and status, attachment to family and luxurious lifestyles; the last leg of the journey is consumed by a love for life—a constant nagging fear of death rules the roost.

God is love, and those who dwell in love, God resides unto their hearts for the highest form of love is Godly love. Love has the potential of changing one’s overall perspective, for the betterment of self and others. All religious and spiritual deeds, sans Love, shall be rendered tasteless, directionless, and purposeless. In fact, they shall be said to be exercises-in-futility. Attaining the highest state of consciousness, one experiences, and lives in, the blessed realm where all people appear to be known, dear, lovable, and close. This is a positive effect of prayer. Always replenish the cup of your heart with the nectar of love, to keep the soul in good health and the mind in good spirit; never let the heart become empty and dry.
