The Ambiance of Love

A child smiles, giggles and laughs for no apparent reason but it can't be in a life where mere flap of butterflies wings can initiates tornadoes, there must be something to this! A pediatrician will say that when a child is healthy, had a good sleep and not hungry she/he will giggle.
In some traditions it is said that a guardian angel makes the child smile and giggle.

I say it’s an ambiance of love that does so. A consciousness that we have been given by the Creator is the reason. Any soul that connects with God, remain in a state of bliss.

To remain in that state child has to do nothing but just to focus on her mother, who is the center of universe and a medium to connect with God. But when we grow this focus of consciousness spreads on wide angle and the bliss de focuses and a haze casts on us. This is normal and this has to happen as the wondrous world opens to us: the majestic sunshine, the colorful springtime, the cool joyous winter afternoons, the blossoming flowers, the tranquility of a deep sea, the drizzle in a summer evening, the singing birds in wee hours, the sprinting and striding gazelles, the roaring of a proud lion, the beautiful and innocent smile of a young girl, the agile athletic body of a young man, twinkle of wisdom in the eyes of our grandparents and the almost breath taking heartbreakingly beautiful sight of a beloved just de focuses us.

But when we assimilate all these fragments the basic denominator is only Love. This focus of love can be widened by just widening the aperture of our love to capture the complete picture.

How this is possible? This is commonly seen! See how one who is in love, just Loves everything about the beloved, everything she says, wears, glances at, thinks about, the mannerism, each and everything associated with her. Likewise when we Love God we Love everything associated and created by Him and that initiates an unending bliss which is an ambiance of Love.

  2. Mesmerizing and Superbly written. Most Beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched. They can only be felt and love is that one feeling which makes you fly high. Love is a mighty and awesome thing and life is beautiful because of love.

  3. I often think, what is the relationship between love and beauty? can it survive without beauties, you have mentioned? and secondly do we love something just because it has a certain connection with ourselves (my mother, my friend, my country, my family) etc? I think you can further explain it.

  6. Peerless, I feel that beauty and love are synonymous. For me my means yours as well, when we are connected with God, beauty and love each thing that I identify as mine involve you also. Yes we Love because we feel connected and we are connected with everything and everything is connected with us also, everything also loves us as much as we love them, it’s a mutual love affair!

  7. hmm...I think love is truely feeling the gratitude or appreciation for something...

    Appreciation and Gratitude are states of pure love...I am grateful to my Maker...and...I appreciate HIM being my Provider all the time...provoked my heart to feel love about everything around me...because they all are HIS creations too...

    Feeling beauty is one way of feeling the gratitude...and only those can see beauty every where who knows how to appreciate...

    Nice post Dar Sahib !

  9. Love as the healer or rather The Healer...even when some feel so alone sometimes or all the time. To see Him as the One who makes us One and gives inner light (Kairos) pulls us beyond the mere plodding of history and makes it His story. How glad to know that He gives this "Love-Light" when there is a dimness all around as to the way to go in personal as well as more or less universal moments. This action of faith sometimes even pulls me away from the need to have personal and universal questions answered right away and gives me the patience to wait until and IF needed...thus your analogies of trust between persons is such a beautiful metaphor. What a relief. MUST come back to these reminders of the lifting power of love OFTEN.
