The purpose of human birth is to live a life full of love for all. No joy is greater than that of loving others. wealth, acquiring property, fame, bedecking oneself give but transient pleasure, not any sense of fullness. The happiness that spread through our inner being is the happiness of loving others. When we love others we are not conscious of our suffering, the physical exertion we make and the money we spend: indeed the joy of loving gives us a transcendent feeling. A life in which there is no love for others is a life lived in vain.
I said that when we love a person we forget our sorrows. But one day, at last, it may be that the object of our love itself becomes the cause of great sorrow. One day the person we love leaves us forever-or one day we will leave her forever. "Oh Shehas left me forever"-"O I am leaving Her for ever": we lament in this manner. We feel disturbed when we realize that all the happiness that love gave us has at last proved to be a lie and ended in sorrow. "Is the final outcome of love then sorrow? "we ask ourselves in agitation. The greater our love for a person the more intense our grief when she is separated from us forever. We may then even wonder whether a life without love, a life of selfishness or a life of insensibility would be better. One leading such a life will not be affected by being separated from her affection.
[The problem then is]: Our love for others ends in sorrow. However, if there is no love there is no meaning in life. What is the solution to this problem? We must create such love as will never change, love that will be enduring. our love must never become separated from us, never desert us. If there were such a person and if we dedicate all our love to her,/him, we would never be separated from one another- there would be everlasting fullness.
To explain, we must love the One Who never changes. Who is that?(Very hard to get right?) .
The question arises: If one is to love (particular person) that never perishes, does it mean that we must not love anyone else, that we must not love others because they will perish one day? No,If my love is only for her it keeps growing the truth will dawn on her that there is no one or nothing other than she. All those whom we loved, all those who caused us sorrow by being separated from us, they too will seem to us the imperishable ...........
