Passage 2

In English

Divine Love Is Supreme And Eternal

Love is the basic principle of human life. Love forms the basis of not only human beings but all living beings, including birds and animals, and even worms and insects. It is due to their love that dogs and monkeys feed and take care of their young ones. Man is superior to all living beings in the world. The say, (of all living beings, human birth is the rarest). Even though man has the rarest and the noblest human birth, he degenerates his love into attachment because he directs his love towards worldly relations and objects. He multiplies his love in several ways and develops attachment. But worldly love is impermanent; it is temporary, like passing clouds. The basis of worldly love is outward connections and relationships. The inner love, on the other hand, does not depend on outward worldly connections. This is the love that fills us with (eternal bliss). But man does not recognize this true love and therefore remains devoid of bliss. He continuously indulges in worldly love and thinks that it is permanent and true. He does not know that permanent divine love is within, which is supreme and eternal.
