Love is inherent in each living being. However, in mundane beings love is adulterated with expectations, possessiveness, ego, greed etc. This makes their love a cause of suffering and bondage. As one embarks and progresses on his spiritual journey, his love becomes pure, creating joy for him as well as others around him.

Pujya Gurudevshri is spiritually incarnate and an epitome of love. In Him, we can see love in its purest form and without any boundaries. His love is a cause of inexplicable joy to numerous souls. This Valentine’s let us marvel at the attributes of His Divine Love:

Unconditional

Pujya Gurudevshri’s ever flowing love is not ‘due to some reason’. It is not governed by any external factors. He loves, because He is love. Love is His nature. When we love something or some person it is because of the state in which that object or person is. And so our love is subjective and conditional. Whereas Pujya Gurudevshri’s love is because of His own pure state, which makes it objective and unconditional. Once He had expressed His state of love to a disciple saying, “Right now you are in front of Me, My love flows towards you. If you move out and someone else comes in your place, My love will flow to him. If he too moves away and there is a plain wall in front of Me, My love will flow for the wall too.” Wondrous is the incessant flow of pure love from His being.

Selfless

While worldly love is marred with the feelings of possessiveness and greed, Pujya Gurudevshri’s love is completely selfless. Out of sheer love and compassion, He tirelessly works for the spiritual upliftment of seekers across the world. But amidst all the benevolent activities there isn’t even an iota of ‘I’ness or ‘my’ness or doership. His every activity is an offering to Param Krupalu Dev. As evident from one of His recent incidences, His state of pure love could not withstand even a casual phrase of “‘My’ followers”! While thousands of seekers look up to Him as their Sadguru, Pujya Gurudevshri considers them as Param Krupalu Dev’s followers only.

Steady

Pujya Gurudevshri’s love is non-fluctuating. Worldly love is infected with expectations and so it goes up and down with fulfilment and non-fulfilment of expectations. But Pujya Gurudevshri’s love is devoid of any expectations. So it flows steadily towards one and all. Hasn’t it been our experience that even when we sometimes falter and commit mistakes, Pujya Gurudevshri’s love and compassion for us never wavers? He loves each of us the same irrespective of what phase we are going through. And that is why we feel security in His love and refuge in this ever changing and transient world.

Universal

Pujya Gurudevshri’s love extends to each and every being in the universe. Irrespective of caste, creed, race or nationality, He guides all aspirants towards eternal peace and bliss with same love and compassion. Through Shrimad Rajchandra Youthwing and Shrimad Rajchandra Divinetouch, Pujya Gurudevshri’s love is reaching the hearts of youth and children world over, unfolding the innate divinity within them. His care and concern even reaches out to the underprivileged sections of the society. The numerous seva projects initiated under the banner of Shrimad Rajchandra Love and Care bear testimony to how Pujya Gurudevshri’s love is touching and elevating the tribal, poor, sick, disabled, less privileged and suffering population. His love even encompasses the flora and fauna world. By His grace and guidance, several mega projects have been undertaken like freeing animals from slaughterhouses and providing them safe shelters, Shrimad Rajchandra Jivamaitridham Gaushala, Shrimad Rajchandra Animal Helpline, tree plantation drives, and the list keeps on increasing. Even the life forms not visible to the eye are embraced in Pujya Gurudevshri’s sphere of love. He has been making the seekers realise the presence of life in water, electricity etc. and inspiring them to avoid wastage of these resources.

Truly, Pujya Gurudevshri is an embodiment of pure love. He is indeed Love Personified.

Let Us Be Like Him!

Let us not stop at just applauding His qualities. Let us take steps to cultivate them within us.

• Love Unconditionally: Let us not love someone for a reason. Let us make our love an expression of our inner joy irrespective of the conditions outside.
• Love Selflessly: Let our love not be driven by selfishness. Let us give for the joy of giving, without desiring anything in return, not even an acknowledgement or a ‘Thank You’.
• Love Steadily: Let our love be non-fluctuating. Even when someone wrongs us, let us see to it that our love for him doesn’t decrease.
• Love Universally: Let us extend our love to more and more beings. Small acts like lending a helping hand to strangers, not wasting water, switching off electric gadgets when not needed, etc. help us extend our circle of love.

Love radiates itself through Your each deed,
Care expresses itself through Your every act,
Ever flowing with compassion for all forms of life,
O Beloved! To cultivate such virtues we strive.
