What is it to love? It is truly to God. To truly love is to walk the path of God. That means doing many things that humans do not want to do. But there is such as mask that humanity wears that so very few actually see and recognize the face of God in another human being.
Words can
tell you, feelings can enchant you, hopes can ensnare you, but only God, love,
can free you. It is the ultimate
surrender, and that surrender becomes all-powerful. It begets compassion and a deep understanding
beyond words. Because the world is
dualistic, the polar opposite of love is fear.
Sadly, perhaps, that is where most of the world lives, in the
half-light, the hopeless hope.
The subject
of love can be so moving, charged and passionate, clouded and misunderstood, stifling
and all-encompassing. No wonder why the
subject of love has been the cause of so many a poem and song.
So, what is
love? Perhaps a simple answer is, it is
not fear.
Rumi
