The word 'love' is one of the most misused and over used words in this world. You hear people saying 'Oh, give my love to so and so', whom they intensly loathe! And many others get carried away by infatuation and physical passion, and think the attraction is one of love.
The lowest kind of love, the love that is restricted, that desires and protects and helps only the ones to who it feels an attraction, and feels no pity, no mercy, no sympathy and no compassion for strangers.
Real love is the love of selflessness; the love that seeks nothing for itself, and in its highest form embraces the whole of humanity. You are not an evolved soul until you can say ''I love all mankind''. The greatest love is the love that has no trace of selfishness, that does not seek in any way to perform any action because it will bring some satisfaction to the individual. That is human love in its greatest aspect. It is the desire to uplift mankind, to help the needy, to sustain the weak, to fight the things that prevent the unfortunate from extracting the beauty that life could offer them.
Divine love covers the universe.
Absolutely my friend!!
You put it very poetically. That is what divine love is in my book as well.
