Love looks not with eyes, but with the mind
Just as oil is present in every part of the olive, so is love exist in every part of the creation. But to define love is very difficult, for the same reason that words cannot fully describe the flavor of an Orange. We have to taste the fruit to know its flavour, so with the LOVE. All of us tasted love in our lifetime in some form or the other. When we were child Love means only "Our Parents'. When we reached our teens, friends joins our love list. Then after few years the whole list gets erassed by the Lover (generally). Then our spouses, children, grandchildren joins the list.
Though we all experience Love, but many of us wouldn't think it even necessary to analyze what love is. They recognize love as the feeling they have for their relatives and friends. But there is much more to it than that. The only way I can describe REAL Love is by telling you about its effect. If we could feel even a drop of Intoxicating Happiness, then I believe that is the ONLY TRUE LOVE. Till then we are in search of True Love. Love is not ultimate, The Ultimate is Bliss. Now the question comes how do we know that we have received the treasure of True Love. When we receive the treasure, then all the divine emotions - love, compassion, courage, self-sacrifice, humility - would be meaningless without Joy. Joy means an expression of the ultimate Bliss.
