Love is eternally within us. We feel its presence; we know it exists in us; we realize its power; yet we are unable to express it in words. Who has ever succeeded in giving the fullest expression of love in words? None. Love is transmitted from heart to heart, from soul to soul. In love we become silent. In the fullness of love, we are speechless. In love, our whole being vibrates in the rhythm of joy. Love needs no words to express itself. The moment we attempt to express love in words, it loses its charm, its magnetism is gone. Truly did the poet realize:
“When words are spoken, Love’s accent is soon forgot.”
Do not inquire about love, find it, live in it, and be immersed in the sweetness of joy. Love cannot be understood by intellect. Love dies when we try to analyze it. Love is a quality of soul, it is realized in soul alone.
