The Reality of Love: The Difference Between the Visible and the Invisible
The Reality of Love: The Difference Between the Visible and the Invisible 🌍❤️
We often hear that love is the foundation of all spirituality, but how true is that statement in practice? Many times, people claim to have a deep connection with the divine or the invisible force that drives the universe—the Param Aatma. However, can one truly love an invisible entity when they cannot love the beings that stand before them every day?
The phrase "Aafno akha agadi dekhine samasta sristi ka prani harulai prem garna nasakne le, adrishya param aatma lai kaile prem garna sakdaina, tyo kebal dhong matra ho." translates to:
"Those who cannot love the living beings visible in front of their eyes can never truly love the invisible Param Aatma (Supreme Soul); that is merely a pretense."
A deeper reflection on this thought 💭
In today’s world, many claim to be spiritually advanced, proclaiming their love and devotion to a higher power. But a critical question arises: How can we profess love for an unseen divine force if we are unable to love the people, animals, and nature that surround us?
To truly connect with the divine, one must first be capable of compassion and love for all beings in creation. After all, every living creature, whether a human, an animal, or a plant, is a manifestation of that same divine energy. Love must start at home, with those we can see, touch, and experience. If we fail to show kindness to others, our claims of spiritual love become hollow.
The illusion of spirituality without love 🌿✨
Merely stating that we love the unseen Param Aatma or professing our connection to the divine without actively practicing love in our daily lives is an illusion. It’s easy to say, "I love God," but far more challenging to show love to the people we encounter, especially those who challenge us.
Imagine a world where we strive to love each being with the same devotion we claim to feel for the divine. How different would our relationships be? How much peace and harmony would we create?
Love as the path to the divine 💖🕊️
Real spirituality isn’t about rituals, fancy words, or how often we visit a temple or a place of worship. It’s about how much love we carry in our hearts for everything around us. When we extend love to others, we align ourselves with the supreme consciousness. In truth, love for the divine begins with love for the world.
Let’s embrace love in its truest form, not just in our thoughts but in our actions as well. The path to the divine starts with loving the life around us. 🌼
So, the next time we think about our relationship with the unseen Param Aatma, let's remember:
"To love the divine, we must first love all of creation." 🌏❤️
