Love has always been an issue. Particularly when it involves characters of the order of a teenager or a young chap seeking to find answers to his emotions and needs in a world which offers constraints more than solutions. Struck between tentacles of tradition & custom and cord of desires, there seems to be no way forward and every answers of questions has ended only in mind-teaser questions. Here is how a conversation unfolds between two friends-Vicky and Ramu on this sticky issue.
Ramu: Try to be a man! You can’t leave all for her. I know you have not been sympathized and supported in need. I know the family and the world has been harsh for you. But what then, will you leave all for her
Vicky: yeah! I will leave all for her if it so warrants
Ramu: But, why my friend?
Vicky: Because she knows me. She knows my ideals and principals. We together strike a
Chord in whatever we do. She knows my ability to carve success out of mountain of failures. She helps me forget the unsuccessful strives and make me learn a thing or couple of things out of it. So I feel she is my need. A friend of her kind is above all. She can truly be my life-partner. So I love her. So I adore her. And so why I desire her desperately!!
Ramu: Well my friend! I will help you get her. I will fight the world with you if needed to help you meet your fantasized end. But then that should be all. You won’t ask anything more from this world. She alone should fulfill what you want.
Vicky: Are you speaking in tongue of business?
Ramu: Yeah! My friend I want to make you understand the business of the world.
Vicky: But! Love is pure and providential. How can you barter it for another thing of worldly origin?
Ramu: My Chap! Love is not pure. Neither it is impure. It is your vision that is important. You tried to see solutions in her and got it. And you understood all other as source of problems. It is not your fault but scanty experience of life. The miseries of life always blind the vision and wants to run to shelter itself in abode of fantasized desires. For which you want to leave all is merely a quality of one form of
love-infactuation. It demands breaking away from the rest for the
amalgamation with the object of infactuation. In contrast love is
comprehensive and wholesome. It is such by which you can encompass the
whole of the world in yourself. Love is also infectious. You start
indulging with somebody; love will dissolve you into a solution of
intimacy. Similarly you start eyeing negatives, you will feel the need to distance yourself.

Vicky: Then what? Should we all human being cease to love?
Ramu: I don’t know what should be the worthy end of love stories. But one
thing is clear and it is, live by ideals and principles. If you love
, be brave to face the worst of it. Don’t forget, if you are unworthy
to whom who has raised you, how can be you to one whom you have chosen
merely out of affection.

Vicky: Objection! My friend I love her. This love is not only physical. It is the most irony of the fact virtues do find home in physical world. Sweetness is found in sweet. Coolness is virtue of water. Brightness is identity of light. And heat is of fire. Emptiness gives meaning to space and ability to change is characteristic of time. Similarly sensibility to love and to be loved is meaning of being human. It is evidence of the fact of existence of a sophisticated consciousness within. The Master has so designed us and He is perfect among the engineers ,the makers. In fact He is the only creator.
He has woven such that the material world does not look that much dead. life be life . Life could have a sense of being different from non-life. Have life a house of comfort amidst its troubles , austerities and uncertainties. So if you accuse me of being a pervert in your traditions , i accuse you of being illogical and unnatural far removed from senses of being true to the self
If my destiny is to be human, love has to be my religion and the prophets of this religion has always preached to listen to the subtle music of the heart and follow it.
