Love- Conspiring immaculate bonding in our worlds!!!

Much has been written, sung, felt and debated about Love- a magnanimous feeling that encompasses this universe! It's the love of the God that this beautiful planet Earth has been created and the material world is run. Love is a feeling, a bonding force that transcends horizons and is present within and outside the realms of human body and soul. Love can be with species in case of same group or with objects or with different species. The one underlying characteristic that defines Love is that its unconditional, omnipotent and lasts forever.

I have also experienced love that has had an ever lasting impact on my life both w.r.t thinking and actions. You are in love when you think about something all the time and can't simply resist the temptation of being with your love all the time. Fear is developed of losing the love when it is not in hindsight. You start thinking about that love from deep within your heart instead of focussing on your own good. You are plagued, if so to say, by the thoughts of your love all the time and can't let it go easily.

If love is with an object, the love is reciprocated by the bonding with that object which is demonstrated and you can feel it easily. But, if the love is with a living entity, it's also important that the love is reciprocated similarly by the partner so as to establish a healthy relationship. This can happen instantly or over time depending on various factors as deemed necessary by both the individuals. Most of the times, if love is unconditional, this happens instantly or else the bonding generally develops over time.

As mentioned earlier, love should not be influenced by material riches lest it might not last a lifetime, which is not a healthy sign for the partners. It's critical then to evaluate yourself and the bond between the partners to make it even stronger by laying emphasis on the critical factors essential for maintaining the bond.

Nothing is achieved in life without sacrifices. Being in love is no exception. One has to be mentally prepared of the outcomes of pursuing the love. This is generally not an easy task as people falter along the path not ready to forgo something for attaining love. This is the true test of character and those who come out triumphs know the feeling of it.   

At the crossroads!!!

Life is a mysterious journey. Events and occurrences happen all the time and everyone has a different perception of what's happening around. Some people say it's the different lens from which you look, some say facts remain facts, some say it's the supernatural powers that decide every event and some just leave to the almighty and are driven by HIM. There are certain things which you control and some others which are beyond even the slightest of one's imagination. The biggest question is who is a winner then?

There are two worlds as they say, materialistic and spiritual world. The ultimate prize in a materialistic world could be something which one aspires for, but the irony of the situation is that what one aspires for is something he sees or experiences in this world. There is always a grey area in which everyone in this world lives. Nothing is perfectly or completely achieved, as there is always a better way to do things. Who is the winner then in this world?

In the spiritual world, the ultimate achievement could be the attainment of moksh/nirvana. But, this is a field full of hidden secrets and only the people who have achieved it know the treasured key to success. This brings me to a crossroads as to what I should do now. To which world should I head towards? Some say there is a age for starting a spiritual career, but many saints have attained it in the childhood stage. 

The striking difference between the two worlds is the control of 5 senses. The materialistic world hovers around the use of these 5 senses whereas the spiritual world relies upon the self-control of these. Also, being happy is considered to be good living in the former whereas saints are usually sad in their outer appearance.

So what do you want to be- a happy firefighter in a materialistic world or a secluded saint sitting on a hill-top searching for the true creator of this universe?
