Love & Light

Love is like Light in many ways. It is the Light that brightens your Life.

Love is light, as in it is delicate, sensitive, but also warm. 

You can’t exactly see or catch either of them but can feel their presence, one with your eyes, the other with your mind. 

The sense of vision is very primal. So maybe it's easier to find light than love. Love is hard to find, of course, even otherwise, lol!

We got an unlimited supply of light from the Sun, but we developed our own sources of light as well. If you can observe, nature also gave us unlimited sources of love in terms of sustenance and survival, but more importantly as an experience, actually, the experience. But, our own sources of love? Well, we each have a source of love inside us and can bring it out, but only if we don't get overwhelmed by fear, greed, or ignorance.

Moving on, Love is like the light in even more ways.

Like we found a spectrum of light that a human eye can perceive, we can also consider a spectrum of love that we can perceive. Like we can see or focus clearly on the things we want to see when there is enough light, we can focus and see things objectively for what they are when our mind is filled with love (for this experience of life).

Let's delve more into two more properties of light! 

We all have read about the dual nature of light, i.e., as particles as well as a wave. Similarly, in love, we have tiny lovely moments, as well as periods of love with the highs and lows (wave ).

And finally, coming to the refraction of light, we know light bends while crossing from one medium to another. But what can be the bending of love?  What imaginary mediums can Love travel in? Well, Like many physical materials which allow light through (with little refraction/bending), or block it, or diminish it, there will be similar imaginary mediums of clutter for love in our minds. But light travels nice and straight in a transparent medium, and so does love. A transparent mind is the best medium for love. But when it gets filled with clutters of bias, hypocrisy, arrogance, or hate, love bends (becomes skewed) or diminishes.

Like optics manipulate light to change the size of objects, optics of clutter can manipulate love and change the importance of things. 

So, try to keep your mind as transparent, i.e., honest and away from bias, hypocrisy, arrogance, and more importantly, hate, the solid that stops the light of love.

Happy Lightening!
