Chương 8: Man is an Atom of Love - Love is the Quality of Existence
A SMALL STORY
(His Divine Holiness Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam has delivered almost 20,000 hours of recorded talks till date. As part of the talks, He shares simple small stories that give powerful cognitive shifts to the listener. Following is one such story.)
Tree roots contain the information about all the trees in this world, just like a dewdrop contains information about all the oceans in the world. If we understand the structure of a drop of water, we will understand everything about all the oceans on earth. We will understand the compound called water itself. Water anywhere cannot be anything other than its chemical composition. That composition is ingrained in the smallest Particle, and that is the dew drop.
In the same way, man is an atom of love. And love is nothing but the quality of Existence. If love is known, the whole of Existence can be experienced. Understand that the composition of man is not physical, chemical or even psychological, it is spiritual. Nobody can teach us what it is. We must experience it on our own. All other knowledge is transferable: physical chemical, scientific and psychological. All such knowledge is easily transferable. Only spiritual knowledge is not. It cannot be taught as such, but it can be experienced!
A small story:
One day a master asked his disciples how they could tell when the night had ended and the day had begun.
One of them said, 'When you can look in the distance and tell whether the animal is a cow or a horse.'
The master said, 'No.'
Another disciple said, 'When you can look at a tree in the distance and tell if it is a pine tree or a mango tree.'
The master again said, 'No.'
They asked the master, 'Then what is it master?'
The master replied, 'When you can look into the face of any man and recognize your brother in him. When you can look into the face of any woman and recognize your sister in her. If you cannot do this, then no matter what time of the day it is, it is still only night time.'
The master can give a few hints, little hints here and there. Then we must find our own way carefully, cautiously. Love is just a hint, but if we follow love slowly, very slowly, we will be surprised that god becomes more and more of a reality. He is no longer just a thought, no longer simpl an idea, but something that we can feel.
The deeper we go into love, the closer we come to the feeling. The day we dissolve into love we merge with unity.
