Blooming of Universal Love!
The Lotus bud does not bloom on its own - it opens its petals only when ripe & the sun shines on it, to bloom in its own Natural rhythm. It can't be made to bloom by force!
Similarly, the Universal Love blooms only when the stage is naturally ripe, and at God's Glorious Pace!
Human Love originates & evolves over these 3 states.
- Care (பொறுப்பு) feeling of a sense of responsibility
- Concern (அக்கறை) show of the responsibility in action
- Compassion (கருணை) sense of empathy to experience others' feelings!
The envelope of Human Love further
spreads in these 3 phases!
1) Love of Self - body & own possessions
2) Love of Family - Parents, siblings, wife & children, and other close relatives
3) Love of all Living Beings - other persons you come across in life, Nature & its wonderful creations!
These 3 progressive stages can again be generally classified into 3 emotional states of the human mind!
- (அன்பு) - Affection -
Love of Self, and towards your possessions!
- (அமைதி) - Peace -
Contentment & happiness in company of family & friends!
- (ஆனந்தம்) - Bliss -
Feeling of limitless bliss, while surrounded by Nature, living Persons,
and Beings etc., maturing into Universal Love!
In this Blissful state, you feel that the surrounding world of humans, animals & material things are indeed part of the same Universal Consciousness, and hence are filled with mutual love!
In Srimad Bhagavad Geetha, ShriKrishna states in Ch 6 Shloka 29
सर्व भूतस्थमात्मानं सर्वभूतानि चात्मनि ।
ईक्षते योगयुक्तात्मा सर्वत्र सम दर्शनः ।।
Meaning: A Yogi, whose Soul, Mind & Intellect are harmonised by Yoga (communion with the Supreme Soul), sees his Divine Self abiding in all Beings, and, all Beings in his own Self.
Hence he really sees his Divine Self present in all things around him!
Having attained such a Vision of Equanimity, you are enveloped by Universal Love, as all of us love our own self very dearly!
Like the bright Sun blooms the Lotus Bud, with this bright Vision of Equanimity, the Blooming of Universal Love naturally unfolds!
