What is the highest form of love in this world?
The highest form of love is what Radha Rani had for Krishna, and what Mirabai felt for Giridhar gopal.
When Mirabai was asked, who does she have in this world? She replied,
“Mere tho giridhar gopal doosro na koi”
There is none other than Giridhar Gopal for me.
This is the state of bliss, or as the bhaktas call it, ‘transcendental bliss’. Where the mind is totally turned towards God ‘in love’, demanding nothing, not even Liberation, is a mind filled with love and devotion.
Divine love is where the soul finds solace in its long lost friend, its creator and a companion from innumerable lifetime’s. Some call her as Kali, some call him as Vasudev, some call him as Shiva, and yet some say that the entity is formless and is known as Paramatma.
The beauty of divine love is that it is uncontaminated and has no strings attached. The soul experiences endless joy and remains in a transcendental bliss even while living amongst the harshest of conditions. Having attained which, it never gets deluded again.
Since time immemorial, it has been said that this world is a bad and evil place to live, only after we exit from here would we be able to live in peace with god. The very essence of Bhagavad Gita contradicts this statement, because Krishna says, I am good and bad, I am divine and evil, so why do you fear when it is only “ME” that is here?
A properly situated devotee will never experience pain in this world, or the worlds to come.
It is due to our ‘incorrect knowledge’ that we start to curse the world and the entities that live in it. Constantly cribbing about how bad people are, how bad our situation in life is, why did this happen, and more.
This delusion can only be cleared when divine knowledge is imparted. For example, when we buy a car or a phone, we also get a manual attached to it, the manual gives instructions about how to use the product. In the same manner, the manual for using the “human body” are the scriptures, such as, The Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads, Vedas, etc..
If the very basics are ignored, then the essence of life is also lost.
As a “fellow seeker”, not as a guru or as a teacher, but as a “fellow seeker”, I wish to share my experience about finding divine love and how you can find it as well.
