Love | God | Religion

In the pursuit of truth, let us not become followers, but rather, let us be inspired to radiate love and evolve together.

I refer to God as pure self. The same self pervades all, but the extent to which we allow it to express itself differs. Outstanding personalities like Rama, Krishna, Jesus, Mohammed, Ramana Maharshi, and others fully allowed God (the Self) to express through them. They were always joyful and shared unconditional love with no discrepancies.

Sometimes we encounter such legends in our lives, and their intention is to inspire us to radiate the same love. Their intention is for us to evolve, rather than being overly dependent on them and becoming followers. Unfortunately, humans tend to become attached to those who show them love. They become followers, create new religions, impose rules for everyone to follow, and restrict independent thinking. They hold the belief that their religion is superior to all others, leading them to establish protective measures and actively expand, thereby prohibiting the existence of any other religion.

While following someone may not be problematic, the actual issue arises when one believes they have discovered the ultimate truth and attempts to impose their preferences on others. This tendency to enforce personal beliefs results in the creation of religions and creates all kinds of chaos.

The truth is that one Self expresses itself through all great personalities we deem as gods, and these personalities have no discrepancies based on gender, caste, creed, nation, etc. However, their followers do.

Trying to say the same thing as mentioned above in another context.

True love is not about seeking to be loved, but rather evolving to share love.

When we show love pets at home, they become attached to us and continuously seek external stimuli from us. They may understand nothing beyond that. Similarly, many human beings also seek external stimuli, forgetting their true nature of joy and love. This leads to a deep longing for love within us. When someone provides us comfort, we become attached to them, seeing them as the source of the love we have been craving for a long time. Not only do we become dependent on that person, but we also become a burden to that person. We constantly seek their attention and prevent them from sharing their love with others. As a result, relationships often become challenging, either due to expectations of love from a partner or dependence on the partner who constantly gives love. Take a moment to observe yourself and determine if you are seeking others to love you or if you are striving to evolve and share love.

The intention of sharing love should be to inspire others to evolve and be able to share love, rather than making them dependent on someone. This way, many sources of love can be created, eventually providing enough for everyone on Earth.
