Before
starting it is necessary for me to state the following point
Several times I had mentioned the subject of love and tried to
define this concept as much as as I could to the extent that my
mental power had permitted me.
However, as you would appreciate when the subject is love
there is always something to say and the things that are being
told never get finished. Love gives one a positive attitude,
however together
with this positive attitude it brings along confusion and
it is impossible to find a solution for this confusion.
I believe that some people are far from understanding and
accepting the importance of
love.
Actually, the life of the one who has not got acquainted with ‘’love’’
looks quite simple, but in reality it has difficulties.
Even in places
where being mature is the most valid thing, people tend to
exaggerate the slightest problem, the tiniest little things.
Whereas, in a dimension where one lives with love (where one is
full of love) s/he does not care much even about the greatest
problems and takes everything easy.
You shouldn’t take ‘’love’’ for granted.
You may step into lots of positive things
and they may
become true by means of love. It is possible for you to
clear yourself from feeling as a unit through love.
Sometimes, love cuts off the messages that a human being can get and makes the mind to
get fixed to a certain point. Even if
the eyes of the
person wander around, his mind is fixed to a single
point. That
person can no longer listen to the warnings.
However,
this concept turns the heads of
the humans and stops them from seeing anything and in a
way it forces the
individual to get focused to a single point.
Unfortunately, it can make one to loose the possibility
of using his mind as he wishes.
From time to time it makes you do
silly things and
you cannot be aware of them;
it also prevents you from healthy thinking.
So, all of a
sudden you may see that you’ve started to act with your
feelings in a way that you had never thought before
and which were not important for you before.
Thus,
without being aware you’ve
stepped into negativity.
For
example, if you really love
some one, then there is nothing that you wouldn’t be able to share
with him/her.
Let us suppose that in a certain event someone has acted in a
very individualistic manner or he had been forced to do so.
Then, in such a case without understanding the situation,
without looking for the reasons behind it you can behave like an
androit and criticise that person or you can be cruel towards
him.
So, without knowing you may put your sign on to a wrong event
which could be leading to injustice.
This, in a way is
the loss of the
ability for correct thinking.
Moreover, you are an expert in doing the
things that force the limits of
being nonsense.
Or else, for the sake of pleasing your loved one you can make
some plans and activate them.
Your actions may turn out into a show and it is always
too late when you find out that the things that you’ve done
were all useless. In
a single instant you accept that you have fallen into
a very bad situation for the sake of your loved one.
Your feelings which you cannot control may cause you to say
strange and heart breaking words about that subject.
Anyone
who tries to live the love in this way gets squeezed at a
certain point and most of the
time no one appreciates him.
He wanders around in a bewildered manner
and his love becomes
a burden for the humans as Allah’s Rasul Hz.Mohammad
has stated.
In some people love is only in their imaginations. S/he thinks
that s/he loves someone. However,
this is not the love that s/he is looking for. In the attempts
that s/he makes towards the subject person there may only
be some kind of fondness. For
some time he leaves himself to the flow and spends his time.
Later on he becomes aware and says ‘’I’ve found that I did
not love that person’’.
This time he tries to escape from the person whom he
thought that he had loved.
Some
are blindly in love. Such people cannot leave their loves
no matter what happens and they cannot see the tricks
that the loved one is playing on them.
There is no end for the plays and the tricks of love !..
The one who has tasted love, who lives it chooses to disappear
(to loose his/her identity) both inwardly and outwardly and
prefers to be extremely obedient. On the other hand love may
place an indvidual in funny
situations.
In
order for love to exist in a person it is not necessary to push
or pull others. Unfortunately,
love makes such logical thoughts disappear.
For
the one who thinks that he is living the love no one else can do
the work of his loved one as if that work has been prohibited
for others or considered as an illegal act. In order to prove
this he can create incredible theories in his mind such that the
mind looks as if it has changed its present dimension.
Even, he, himself cannot believe in what he has done, but he
goes on displaying such a behaviour and such states of
mind in spite of the warnings of the
others. HE
goes on living by giving
advice to everybody as if nothing had happenned. Moreover, in
order to make others accept what he has done he may try to
influence their opinions.
It can be felt that the concerned individual has gradually
become one sided and closed himself
to the opinions that were more different than his. It can
be understood that he can give up his basic values easily.
He considers the warnings as nonsense. Unfortunately, he is in a
crazy viscious circle.
The
lover of yesterday who used to shout out
his/her nothingness by saying
‘’I do not exist’’ may today get hold of
the door opening to faith very strongly. This should not
surprise you.
Only
love can make that individual do such things.
Each time love can arrange new plays/tricks and make this
blind fight continue. This is the reason why the names, faces of
those who are in the whirlpool of
love are being kept as a secret until they reach a
complete state of awareness/recovery
from that state.*
This
is is how I think about love and its tricks.
It is necessary to analyse love very well.
I didn’t see any problem
in telling you all of these.
However, unfortunately I am very well aware
that I am
doing the talking and only I am listening to what I am saying.
