We should love God as He ought to be loved. In the beginningless beginning, before creation, imagination gave a twist to substance. Importance was thus given to shadow, and the value of the substance was lost in the maze of illusion. So we, who were eternally free, found ourselves bound by this illusion, and in this unnatural, twisted gain we lost our Original Self. Then we had to experience misery in spite of possessing infinite bliss; and worries, doubts, failures and helplessness are now our daily experience.
If, in the fraction of a moment, the Real Knowledge comes that we are not this but that Infinite One, then all worries disappear or vanish. Because in reality all these sukh [pleasures] and dukh [miseries] do not exist. And as ignorance persists, to get rid of ignorance and to know the true value of Reality, we have to experience God. God, Who is the breath and life of our lives, can be experienced only through honest love.
We have to love Him silently and honestly even in our everyday walk of life. The least show of our love keeps God hidden. While eating, drinking, talking and doing all our duties, we can still continuously love God without letting anyone know about it. When God is found, you can have no idea what infinite peace and bliss results. So, I give you all my love so that some day you can love God as He ought to be loved.
Others inquired about the state of mind of those saints and masts who are continuously in love with God. Baba explained:
For those who come to the gate of love it is torture. The pangs of separation from Beloved God are so intense that only heroes can undergo it, and yet they seek no relief. Only he who suffers from the pain of longing can know it, and when it reaches its zenith, union with the Beloved is achieved.
Lovers of God are called Mard-e-Khuda. When one loves God, the only longing and continual thirst is for union with God. "I want to see you, my Beloved" is the constant cry of this mad lover. Circumstances do not touch this lover. Nothing upsets him. People may call him mad, may make him suffer untold hardships, but his only outlook on life is to see God. Heat and cold, disease and difficulties, are not even thought by him.
