<p> If you love objects more, it becomes greed, if you love people more, it is entanglement, if you love yourself too much, ego and arrogance manifest and if you love someone too much, then jealousy comes behind it.<br /><br />Whether jealousy, greed, lust, anger, there is love present in all of them. Love, when it ferments, becomes hatred and when it gets distorted, becomes fear. Every problem on this planet is caused by love.<br /><br />There cannot be life without love. The spider makes its own web and gets trapped in it, yet there can be no spider without the web. Human life is in a similar situation. It cannot exist without love. <br /><br />Love takes away your freedom and the innate tendency of human life is to be free. Hence you search for a love that does not take away your freedom, a love that establishes you away from all imperfections and upholds life in its pure essence. That love is called bhakti or Divine love. <br /><br />How do you get it? Who has lived that love? The quest for answers to these questions is the beginning point of any spiritual journey. The spiritual journey is not a fantasy of attaining something different; it is the fulfilment of life’s ultimate aim or goal, which is bhakti, the Divine love. If you do not know love at all you cannot understand Divine love. <br />Love has many manifestations, such as affection that you have for those who are younger than you, friendship with those who are your age, honour and respect for those elder to you. Similarly, you have love for objects, animals, trees, food and music. Your likes and dislikes are also based on love.<br /><br />It’s easy to fall in love and fall out of love. One day you fall in love and a couple of months later you seem to fall out of love. But the Divine love, it can never change, it is undying, unconditional and non-changing. These are the characteristics of that ultimate love where there is such a deep longing in you, a deep urge in you. <br /><br />We fall into love and we fall out of love because we do not know what is the ultimate love, what is Bhakti. Attaining bhakti alone makes you perfect. <br /><br />There are three levels of perfection. Perfection in action, perfection in your speech and perfection in your being in your mind. Some may do their action perfectly, but their feeling and their word, may not be so perfect. Some have good feelings, but their actions are not perfect. But Siddha is one who is perfect in the feeling, in the speech and the action. <br /><br />You can never be accurate in the action, but you can be hundred percent accurate in the being, that is called Siddha. And love alone can bring you such perfection.</p>
