Love is not blind

You will find that many movies, songs and literature say that Love is blind. They further go on to say that when in love, you are meant to suffer, to remain in agony, to be walking on a path full of thorns and that there is no end to your pain.

Well, they are wrong.

Certainly, the path of Love is challenging, difficult and uphill. Nevertheless, it is the path leading to the joy of Life and to the ultimate freedom. The warrior that walks the path of Love is armed with modesty, courage and faith. During the journey, the warrior will not be suffering in agony of depression; will not be feeling low self-esteem or self hatred. If he/she feels those things then that is not Love. Those are the symptoms of one that is walking the path of Obsession.

Have you suffered agonies of low self-esteem in the name of Love? Have you put your soul through utmost sadness for the sake of love? When in love, you may have taken actions that were unlike you, that denied your logical thinking, that now seem unreasonable but you might answer to that as “I was in Love. I wasn’t thinking”. All of these things are wrongly associated with Love. What we fail to see is that these are the things you do when obsession takes over your mind and heart. You are unable to see the truth. Unfortunately, we all, at least once in our lifetime will experience obsession. The important thing during that period is that you be free from it. And learn from it so that that was the last time that you would be under obsession.

We all see the Truth of Life through a pair of lenses which now and again get dusty and need a clean. Obsession is the dirt that clouds your logical thinking and your emotions. Love, on the other hand, is a key ingredient of that cleaning fluid that you must use to clean your lenses so that you can see the Truth again. Therefore, stop saying that Love is blind.

Love is NOT blind.
