When man meets woman or otherwise, both make familiar noises! The noises are never identical in quality or intent ! both believe they are in love, while both are immersed in their respective noisy mind. Their respective egos soon embark on imposing their wishes, demands, insistencies, expectations etc. This is purely directed to exploit the other and the ego is not aware of it. The mind only loves only an idea of who the other is and the not really the other! If the idea of who the other is changes, love goes out of the window. Understand that it was never love in first place, it was just an idea cherished by the noisy n egoistic mind.This is nothing but illusory love and not real love, for real love is silence and not noise! Love is a thoughtless state, for God is love and God is silence.
And when love happens between man and woman for first time, they are silent and time appears not to exist for them. This is because initially noise is absent between them. Life indicates to man to observe that love is silence, not noise. By and by, as the ego exposes its version of love, noise replaces silence and exploitation is the outcome. When intolerance gets the better of two, separation ensues and disappointment, distress and dismay is the outcome. Understand that this is the drama of love, an illusory though!
No one can fall in love of his/her own accord: love happens. The arrival of two lovers happens at a precise place and moment. This arrival is not brought about by the noisy mind. The arrival was happening to both of them uncontrallably, spontaneously and unpredictably. Understand that if they are meant to part, it only means that each one is departing uncontrollably, spontaneously, unpredictably , and no force on earth can prevent the departure, just as no force could prevent their arrival. Interpretations , however, make it appear that one of the two is responsible for the break up of love and that love has gone away.
Love never goes anywhere. Love is everywhere, so how could it go anywhere? It was never love in the first place. It was just minimal hate parading as love, and this hate is quite evident when the departure occurs! The hatred and vengeance of lovers is palpable after a break up or divorce. The departure occurs so that man may understand that his noisy mind minimally hated the other all along and it was never love. The noisy mind's function is to hate and not to love, for the mind does not know what love is.
The arrival and departure of two souls is not the control of the noisy mind. This happens so that man may taste what love is: the moment of silence that prevailed on the arrival of love. When the attention is on noisy mind , love only appears to have gone away. It has not gone away, for where could it go, as it is everywhere. Only your thoughts of love have gone into your memory bank, and will surface again when they are meant to.Similarly, understand that love appears to have gone away when the bodies have to go on their respective journeys elsewhere. This is an illusion too. When you understand this much you would thank the other for giving you an opportunity to taste real love. You would understand that the other's departure was meant to happen- a precise moment to go. You would neither accuse nor retaliate. You would have learnt what freedom is; this freedom is love.
God bless and Allah hafiz,
