This word ‘love’ has to be understood. What do we mean by the word ‘love’? One thing we certainly all mean is that is has a pull in it, great energy. When you fall in love, it is not that you do something – you are pulled in. It has a magnetic force. You gravitate towards the object of your love, you gravitate almost helplessly, you gravitate even against your will. It has a pull, a magnetic field – that’s why we call it “falling in love.” Who wants to fall? But who can avoid it? When the energy calls you, suddenly you are you are no longer your old self. Something bigger than you is pulling you, something greater than you is invoking you. The challenge is such that one simply runs it headlong.
So the first thing to understand is: love is a great energy pull. The second thing: whenever you fall in love, suddenly you are no longer ordinary – something miraculously changes in your consciousness. Love transforms you. Falling in love, a violent man becomes kind and tender. Murderer can become so compassionate, it is almost impossible to believe. Love is miraculous – it transforms baser metal into gold.
