Fall in Love

Something i've talked to with a couple of Gursikhs now is falling in love.

Many of us have at some point, it seems to be part of the package of being human - especially during our teenage years.

If I remember correctly, the only thoughts that came to my mind were of the person I became obsessed with - everytime I brushed my teeth, or got dressed in the morning I'd think of the person.

What if.....

We fell in love with Guru Ji/Vaheguru/God in this same manner, our sole aim was to love them so much that they were that were on our mind every second of the day.

Every little seemingly useless action was linked to getting closer to them, holding them in our arms and just being content with whatever they did.

When I read Gurbani sometimes I really wish I could feel the emotions that the authors felt when they wrote the blessed words, there are so many examples of this:

"Kabeer, if you desire to play the game of love with the Lord, then cut off your head, and make it into a ball.
Lose yourself in the play of it, and then whatever will be, will be. 239"

"ik gharhee na miltay taa kalijug hotaa.

When I could not be with You for just one moment, the Dark Age of Kali Yuga dawned for me.

hun kad milee-ai pari-a tuDh bhagvantaa.
When will I meet You, O my Beloved Lord?

mohi rain na vihaavai need na aavai bin daykhay gur darbaaray jee-o. 3
I cannot endure the night, and sleep does not come, without the Sight of the Beloved Guru's Court. 3"

Shabd Hazarey, Dhan Siri Guru Arjan Dev Sahib Ji

Such is the devotional love which has been produced in my mind.

Without the Lord, I cannot live even for an instant, like the fish which dies without water. 1Pause

I agree that wordly love is nothing compared to devotional love, but for people like me its a glimpse of what Gurmukhs (people following the teachings of the Guru's) experience.
