’tis love

‘’Tis so,’ said the Duchess: ‘and the moral of that is —“Oh, ’tis love, ’tis love, that makes the world go round!”’ ---Alice in Wonderland

Today morning I was listening to the great Quwaal Sir Nusrat Fateh-Ali-Khan singing a Mira Bhajan in Lahore! People going ecstatic listening to a song telling about love for Ram and Shyam (two of the major Hindu gods)! Without putting much of a logic, I will just say that its "love" which makes all the bonds, and which "makes the world go round"!!

And its a pity that most of us never ever get the scope or chance to experience true "love". Those who have the luxury to fall in love mostly end up falling in lust and those who don't have the luxury to fall in love keep on dreaming about it.

All religion, all philosophy, all questions, all queries lose their existence lest get dissolved when the tide of "love" comes in heart. And the love for humanity, for nation, for world or for God can only succeed the love for the beloved one!

End note (to all those who are or think are in love): May you face all the oppressions of nature and creation against your love! As Gibran states in The Prophet:
"But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure,

Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor,

Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears. "
