Q. What is Love?
A. The free tendency to expand and become One with everything.
Q. This definition is strange! Why do you say "free tendency to expand"?
A. When you have a tendency to expand with your will, there is ego in it; then it does not expand freely to everything around the whole cosmos. May be it expands to your nearest family members, may be pets, may be to some extent to friends - but not beyond that. Where as when it happens freely without any will, then it expands to the whole cosmos. Then, that is called as Love.
Q. When you mean to the whole cosmos, what do your really mean in that?
A. It means everything. It includes trees, shrubs, all types of animals, flowers, mountains, rocks, planets, galaxies, everything animate and inanimate; seen and unseen; perceived and unperceived, felt and unfelt.
Q. How to sense and experience such kind of love?
A. It is very simple. Just let go everything, even the I also. Just go beyond the mind also. Then it just flows. Flows like a perennial river, expands and engulfs like an ocean.
Q. What happens when such a thing happens, I mean when that Love is experienced?
A. May be in slang, I would call it as you are on the 9th Cloud always (not the general excited state) where others does not even know and they sense only a smile on your face or may be not that also. It is soft like a cotton cushion and as hard as a coir mattress. It is very peaceful, calm, serene, still and silent.
Q. I heard that sometimes it is very difficult to stay with an awakened person. Why is it so?
A. Actually it is not difficult. If there is no ego, then it is the most easiest way to stay with such a person. If ego enters, then there will not be any recognition or entertainment for that ego, that is when it becomes difficult to stay. It is as simple as that. With an awakened person you will be able to see your true nature very clearly. And, there will be no ego boosters from that person. So, either you (actually your ego) are crushed literally (because it is completely ignored without the knowledge of that awakened person) or you are loved (your True nature as Spirit) infinitely. For any normal person these ups and downs are too traumatic, that is when it becomes difficult to stay with an awakened person.
