One Apple A Day #449 - One love
"Our longing for love comes from the intuition of our shared being." — Rupert Spira
What is the shape of love? What is its form? What objective qualities does it have?
Because, if we want to hold or own something, then that thing must have a form in time or space, some objective or material qualities. Only when something can be objectively defined, we can perceive it as a separate entity. Something separated from ourselves and everything else. Something that we can observe.
But love? Love has no shape. Love is transparent and non-objective. Love is formless.
How can you observe it? How can recognise it as different from something else? How can you say what it yours and what not?
So, if love is formless, then it can't be divided into pieces. The love I experience is the same love you experience. Our experiences are different, but love is the same. This is why our mind can not grasp it. Our thoughts are objective and limited. Words are limited. So, we ask artists to describe something that cannot be explained but only felt.
We all are immersed in the same love. But sometimes, layers or resistances and obstacles keep us away from feeling it. The quest for love is not a journey to something. It's not about doing something. It's about sinking in our own being.
"The experience of love is precisely that experience, the experience of our shared being." — Rupert Spira
