Divine love. Even if in fact anyone seeks to love us differently it is our duty to make it possible for them to love us through Divine love or love us for the sake of the One Supreme and Ultimate Godhead or Reality.
It is true that Reality has a peculiar fascination for man which is distinct from the fascination for man which the unreal has for him. Our work is to withdraw from the fascination of the many as many and seek love of the One which is the essence of the many.
In spiritual life one has to learn the three 'R's - ridicule, repression and respect even as in ordinary life of education people say that one must know how to read, write and do arithmetic. One who loves God is ridiculed at the beginning; if one gets over that state he finds that others put hindrances of all kinds before him and if even then he persists and goes indifferent to either ridicule or repression people begin to be serious and seek to know why anyone should seek God and not the world. A shock thus coming to one leads to reevaluation and naturally one reaches the state of love of all and gains love of all.
Master speaks of the deserts of love only when one reaches the higher states. However, to practice the love of God in one's everyday life is to gain the love of all others who see in him the same essence of Being.
Nature is indeed working her own natural way and if one lives in conformity with her then he also becomes more and more attuned to the Ultimate Being.
The most natural way or living is Godly life for man and this life cannot be in contradiction to any other way of life when it is lived naturally. Man goes beyond the realm of hatred and passion and rejoices in the Being of God.
A truly Godly life is possible only through the love of God and such a Godly life produces in all beings the love and the piety that is central to the very life of the Abhyasi.
