Prakruti Sandesh 06. Love is everywhere, just open the doors of your heart. -Veer
Dear Harit Veer sisters and brothers,
At some point, a question rises in every heart: does anyone truly love us? This is not just curiosity of the mind, it is the deepest thirst of the soul. We search for it in relationships, we look for it in friendships, we probe for it in family bonds, and yet a sense of incompleteness remains. It feels as if something is missing, a hollow space inside, as though an inner voice keeps saying that the love we seek has not yet been found.
Yet if we truly pause and look, we will see that love is all around. The earth gives us grain without conditions, rivers quench our thirst, the air gives us breath every moment, the sun illuminates us each day with its rays, and the sky reminds us of boundlessness. Did the earth ever say only the worthy may eat my grain? Did the river ever divide people into pure and impure? Did the sun ever choose on whom to shine and on whom not to? No. All this shows us that true love flows without conditions, beyond measure, endlessly and continuously.
Even so, the deepest and most mysterious form of love is the love of the Guru. When we are sinking under the weight of life, often without even realizing it, the Guru arrives. They do not come with proclamations. They do not say, “I am your redeemer.” They come as a gentle smile in our lives, sometimes as a friend, sometimes as a brother, sometimes as a stranger, or in some other form. Their simplicity is so natural that we fail to see how much vastness hides within that seeming ordinariness.
A Guru is not a go-between. They are not merely a bridge in the middle, they are the direct reflection of the Source itself. In their silence we hear the echo of the Infinite. In their eyes we glimpse an ocean of compassion. Their simplicity is their extraordinariness. Their silence is their proclamation. A true Guru never calls themselves a Guru, because they do not know themselves as such. If they were to know what they are, they would no longer be what they are. The Guru remains unaware of their own greatness. They do not know themselves, they know only the Source, and they stand before us as its transparent mirror.
A Guru can only be recognized by the heart. Intellect and argument fail here. The intellect always asks for proof, compares, and measures. The proof of the Guru is their compassion, their silence, their love. Seen with ordinary eyes they may look like an ordinary person, but seen with the heart, a divine light of extraordinariness shines through their simplicity.
Remember, when someone lowers a bucket to rescue a cat that has fallen into a well, they are not merely performing an act of pity, they are saving life. In the same way, the Guru saves us from drowning in this ocean of becoming. We need not fear them, and we must not mistake them for a mere intermediary. They are the very manifestation of the Source.
If there is a deep yearning within us for the One who will love us without measure, we need only place a sincere prayer in the heart. Love is not something that comes from outside. It is with us in every breath. All we must do is open the doors of our heart.
When the heart opens, love descends. This knock does not come only once, it comes again and again. The trouble is that in the noise of life we fail to hear its footsteps. At times our intellect, which trains us to live by comparison, starts rummaging through whatever data we have. Often, by the time we recognize that this is what we came for, the knocking has already ceased.
Who knows when it will knock again upon our hearts to awaken us. The Guru teaches us to awaken such peace and sensitivity within that we can hear every whisper of love.
This is our practice, surrender. Love descends when we hand ourselves over completely. Surrender is never half-hearted. If it is, it is complete. When we drop our ego,
our fears, and our doubts, and we immerse in love, we are embraced by it. That embrace lies beyond words, it is the embrace of liberation.
So the answer is clear now. Yes, we are loved. Mother Nature loves us every moment. The Guru supports us every moment. Existence itself never leaves us alone. It is now our responsibility to answer this love with love, to come into resonance with it. When it sings, let us sing. When it speaks of the Mother, let us be the first to stand by her.
Let us protect the earth, plant trees, save the rivers, keep the air pure, and keep our lives in balance. This is our green vow. This is our practice. This is the message of our lives.
Let us all open the doors of our hearts. Let us recognize love, accept the Guru’s compassion, and take Nature as our greatest companion. This is true surrender, and this is true freedom, the embrace that is the embrace of liberation.
Prakruti Pranam!
