Being in Divine Love

BY DR SANDHYA PATHANIA 

Love is an inner state that allows us to see our lives more sympathetically. In a state of love, we recognize or even create possibilities in the environment where before the terrain was halt.

There are people who naturally attract love to them by experiencing love within themselves and their lives.

To find love we must be attractive, but we are most attractive when we are in Love! The secret to attracting others is not to appear attractive, but rather to be attractive.

The state of love and being in love is one of intense pleasure. Although a love relationship can be an enormous source of pain, the perceptual and emotional experience of love itself is the experience of the Divine.

Creating divine pleasure is desirable not only as an end in itself, but also because it creates in us a state that attracts love! Most of life is mundane unless you consciously allow it to be enjoyable. There is pleasure to be found in virtually every experience, though it may take some searching to discover.

To be in "love" we need to feel friendship and connection. We all need to increase our sense of connection, not only with other people, but also with our environment and with ourselves. Enduring relationships are really about sustaining that connection.

Heightening our sensory awareness will intensify and elaborate our pleasure, since we experience pleasure largely, though not exclusively, through our senses. Listen to live music or the voice of friends. Go on a nature walk. Admire beauty. Make an effort to connect visually with your environment. Fill your home with scents you enjoy or find a perfume or aftershave that delights your senses. Notice the aura of the people you love. You can nourish your senses simply by becoming aware of them.

You are your most effective when you are truly enjoying yourself. The Italians have a saying: "He who contents himself enjoys". Find ways to take pleasure and contentment in what is available to you, and your journey toward love will become both more effective and more pleasurable. Knowing that we can find pleasure ourselves reminds us of our independence, which increases our attractiveness even more.
