若在這個宇宙裡,有什麼是無法被定義的,那就是愛。如果你能描述愛,那麼它就遠非真理。愛的本質,是你無法表達或定義的。你獻花、你擁抱、你跪拜、你奉獻,但是仍然有某種無法被表達的東西。我們能尋得的,只是一些表達,這僅僅是對愛的瞥視而已。
有一個關於Hanuman的故事。他愛Rama神。曾有一次,Rama問Hanuman:「告訴我你有多愛我?」Hanuman說:「我的主啊,我無法表達我對你的愛,你想看看嗎?我會撕開我的心並向你展示」。你可以看到Hanuman撕開他的心並向Rama展示的照片:「唯有你住在我的心裡。」
有三種類型的愛:悅性(Satvik)、變性(rajsik) 和 惰性(tamsik)。悅性的愛,是不求任何回報的愛。變性的愛,是一種結合了狂熱和渴望得到回報的愛。惰性的愛,是毀滅事物的愛。但神性的愛,不受所有這三者的影響。
當你愛某個人的時候,你愛他們身上的什麼呢?你愛他們的品行、特質還是這個人呢?只因為一個人的偉大、有美好的特質、看起來很美或善良而愛一個人,這些都是生意,而不是神性的愛!

If there is anything in this universe that cannot be defined, it is love. If you can describe love, then it is far from the truth. Nature of love is that which you cannot express or define. You give flowers, you hug, you prostrate, you offer but still something remains unexpressed. We can only find a little expression, just a glimpse of it.
There is a story about Hanuman. He loved Lord Rama. Once Rama asked Hanuman: ‘Tell me how much you love me?’ Hanuman said: ‘My lord I cannot express my love for you, you want to see? I will tear open my heart and show you’. You can see the picture of Hanuman tearing open his heart and showing Rama: ‘Only you reside in my heart.’
There are three types of love: Satvik, rajsik and tamsik. Satvik love is that which does not expect anything in return. Rajsik love, is the love combined with feverishness and a desire to get something back. Tamsik love is love for destroying things. But Divine love is free from all these three.
When you love somebody, what do you love in them? Do you love their qualities, attributes or the person? The love for someone just because they are great, have wonderful qualities, look very beautiful or they are kind, these are all business and not Divine love!
~ Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
