Love And Liberation

Imagine the love of a person who lives to dance. Whose life revolves only around dancing and the sheer joy and freedom that she gains from it. Who would dance even if there were no music because she could feel the pure exhilaration of the music in her heart.

Imagine the love of a person who is coming to meet his love after a long time. Who wants nothing more than to meet his love and wrap her in his arms and hold on and never let go. Who would want only to love her for the rest of eternity.

Imagine the love of a person who is committing suicide because she cannot be with the love of her life. Who wants that time be turned back, so that he does not die in her arms. Who desires then only to be with him, in the  afterlife in another place, if not in this world.

Imagine the love of those two who were friends when they were together. Who realised that friendship and trust is far more important  than simply going out together. Who realised that they loved each other only when it was time for them to part ways.

Imagine the love of a person who realises that the one he loves will never be his because she does not love him and so picks up a knife to kill her, and then himself, so that she can be no one else’s. Whose sole purpose in life is to possess and own his love, and give no one else the chance to know her, feel her, love her. Who would then go and let her free at the last moment, because he knows that it is wrong to hurt the one you love, and that setting her free is the only way he can ever be truly free himself.

Imagine the love of a person who is in love with God. Whose life is led only on the sole purpose of one day being with God. Who, when he sees an idol or a symbol or a place of worship of his God, can only kneel down in obeisance and offer himself to His Divinity and Love.

Love is quite varied in its forms, ultimately being the only the truest form of worship and freedom. Love truly is liberation of the highest order.
