What is Love?

In my previous article, I wrote, “What we think is love is excitement, which is actually a biological event”, but I did not say anything about “what love is” in my article, and I said that I will answer this inmy next articles. If you haven’t read it, please read my article titled “We Confuse Love and Excitement“; because this post will be a continuation of it.

Love…

What is love? What is love? Of course, this is not something that can be expressed in words. It’s purely experiential. However, I will try to explain anyway. First of all, love, or love, whatever you call it, is entirely your trait; It’s not a request you have for someone else. We call the desire you feel for someone else as passion or excitement, which I have already explained in detail in my previous article.

So what is love?
Love is the name of the trait we realize we have when we come in contact with the “essence” that is within all of us. Notice, I’m not saying “the trait we gain when we come into contact with the essence”, I say “the trait we realize we have”. Because we all have an essence inside us and that essence is already full of love; pure and unconditional love. All we have to do is uncover this forgotten treasure.

– Well, if there was such a treasure, why did we all forget, are we stupid?

No, of course we’re not stupid. On the contrary, everything stems from the fact that we are too “smart”. The only thing that prevents us from contacting our essence is our mind. How Does? Do you remember a time when your mind was completely silent and you were by yourself for long periods of time without thinking about anything? Unless you’re among the very small minority who have discovered the on/off switch of their mind, your answer will likely be “No”. If you’re one of the majority who answered “No”, let me tell you what happened:

Your mind is working non-stop. You are constantly thinking about something.
If you stand in the same place doing nothing, you seem to suffocate with boredom.
You are avoiding being with yourself all the time. You are looking for something to do. In this way, you are trying to relieve your boredom.
Correct guess, right? Well, if you are in the above situation, that is, if you are constantly running away from yourself, how can you contact your essence? But when you come into contact with your essence, when you encounter this immense treasure, how can you escape it? Everyone has a great treasure hidden in their core. This treasure is the treasure of unconditional love and love. This treasure can only be reached by those who can come into contact with themselves. This is the treasure that Mevlana, Shams-i Tabrizi, Buddha and Osho have reached and constantly talked about. What is called enlightenment is actually nothing but the realization of this treasure. So the treasure is always there, but we are not there. So, as Jesus said: “Heaven is within you, but you are not there.”

So what’s this like?
Imagine such a treasure of love that inside you…

There’s a love that no man can give you
There is a love so intense that it does not need anyone’s love
There is a great pleasure that no external factor can give you. So much so that even if you stay where you are for hours without doing anything, you never get bored and enjoy it immensely.
In the moments when you reveal your inner treasure, you will no longer love, you will become love itself. So whatever you do, wherever you go, you will carry the scent of love with you. Because what we call love is not actually an emotion felt towards someone, we call that emotion excitement or passion. What we call love is actually a feature of us. Just like our skin smell… If our skin smells good, it will smell good everywhere. It doesn’t matter where or with whom we are. The smell of our skin has nothing to do with the other person. So is love. Love has nothing to do with the other person. Love is a trait completely unique to you. Love is the name of the fragrance your inner treasure emanates.

So how do we uncover the inner treasure?

Let this be the subject of my other articles.

With my unconditional love…
