We mistake when we try to define love. We can not define love as it is an element with limitlessness and logiclessness. In fact, if a person living materialistic life claims to know the complete definition of love, then he or she is living in illusion.
Though we cannot define love; we can be love itself. For example, a newly born child is love, because he does not try to understand love. He, simply through his loving and innocent gestures, creates vibrations of love in all others. His mind does not know the materiality of world and his body does not know the bodily classifications. And that's why, he cries or laughs or whispers whenever he wants to. He doesn't care how he looks like when he cries, or whether people call him a slacker.
As the same child grows up, he realizes that the entire world is running based on the definitions, classifications and distinctions of names, castes, genders and many others. Infected by these bizarre, he gradually starts loosing the essence of love within him.
The whole world seems to run on fixed definitions. According to the established custom of people, tears come when there is pain and laughter comes in happiness. But then, why tears flow when we are in absolute state of ecstasy! Why sometimes we can not define what we feel! Remember, whenever we feel to laugh or cry for no reason and we let that emotion flow freely without restraint or regard for surroundings, then, during those moments “We are Love”.
“I am love” is the state which neither needs explanation regarding who you are in love with nor needs the logic to know why you are in love. On the contrary, when such moments come, shame, ego, logic or any other reason stop yourself from flowing into the flow of emotion; please be realized that - During those moments, you veiled yourself from being love.
In the end, I would conclude with stating that "Being in love with someone is blessing, but being love is a divine bliss!”. So yes, do love but, prior to that BE LOVE.
