LOVE-LUST & GOD
Sex is the essential physical need of a human being. It is essential for sustaining and expansion of living world. To become slave to sex indulgence is lust. The enjoyment out of sex or lust is short lived. On the other hand, love is the basic nature of a human being. It adds to the quality of life.
Generally a man love a women to have sex (lust) with her whereas a women permits sex to have love from him. The approach of both has an element of selfishness but the attitude of women is more positive.
There are three types of love. First is the love due to physical charms. It is short lived. Such a love is lust. Second is the love due familiarities and mental attachments. It lasts longer and is generally found among closer relations & friends. The third is divine love. It is a permanent bliss.
Love is GOD. True love minimizes the miseries and sufferings. Love is generated when we consider all (others) as our own (ourselves). This attitude of mind is possible only if we trust that the GOD as one and we all are His inseparable derivatives (human beings). These derivatives are created to perform certain specified role according to His will. The commands for our actions come to us from time to time. They can not be predicted. It is like that the presence of control commands is realized only when they are received & being acted upon by a guided missile in flight (action) after its launch (birth).
It is a misnomer that the purpose of creation is merely to love each other or to love and remember Him (devotion, bhakti) all the times and do nothing else. If that was so, then there seems to be no useful purpose of creation. Therefore, the purpose of the creation must be something else. We are merely the instruments as a part of bigger machinery to achieve His aim. The commands for action by the instruments (us) are received from time to time even without our knowledge.
Love acts like a lubricant for of the instrument/machinery to work smoothly while carrying out His orders. It is, therefore, essential for smooth working of the universe. On the other hand, hate creates friction and, therefore hindrance in obeying His directions.
To give appropriate commands so that His wishes are carried out is His business. We have no contribution to it. But we can help in producing love (lubricant) to assist Him in carrying out of His wishes smoothly. Although otherwise also He has the means and power to carry out the work as per His wishes by overpowering any such frictional forces, but that will create avoidable miseries and sorrows for us.
In order to generate love to assist in the smooth functioning of the universe, our rishis (teachers) have given a very powerful concept that we all belong to one Reality i.e. GOD. When there is a sincere feeling of ONE-ness then love is generated automatically and peace prevails without any further effort.
Love is self-sacrifice for others. Hate is to sacrifice others for self.
