"Love is the prime factor that makes Life meaningful and happy! Without Love man cannot exist! The mother and father love their children and in turn children love their parents! There is love between brothers and sisters! Even animals love their young ones and shower affection on them in one way or other! Love originates from the heart! That is why people without love are called people without heart! Love emanates because the child is the offspring of one's self! It is said that the husband is born through his wife!!
Shastras say " atmavai putra namamsi!" So there is a parennial link between the parents and their children!! They are the chip of the same block! When children exhibit the same features and qualities of their parents, it increases their Love for the children!! This is the Physical side of Love!! On the ideal and spiritual plane Love involves sacrifice! without it , it cannot be called love! The mother is prepared to die for the sake of her child! she wants him to live and prosper though she may not survive!! Love makes one selfless! we say that 'He lives who lives for others!' It gives tremendous happiness to the Mother!! Service to Humanity is done purely out of Love! Man is shorn of his EGO by service to society! Service to Man is service to God! The Upanishad says that a man Loves his wife not because she is his wife but because of of the ATMA= the self same SPiRIT that is enshrined in her!! Where there is true Love there is true happiness!! The supreme Bliss of the Gopikas was due to their TRUE LOVE for Lord Krishna! They had totally surrendered themselves to Him! Thus their happiness knew no bounds! The Azwars and Nayanmars and the great Bhaktas loved The lord in such a way that they reveled in His vision and Happiness! The Bible says " LOVE thy neighbur as thyself!" The Upanishad reiterates " Anandam Brahmeti vyajanath!" Man is born of ANANDA or BLISS and merges into ANANDA!! The Happiness of the material world is different from that of supreme Bliss or Beatitude realized by the great sages and seers!! It is through continuous Sadhana Sri Ramakrishna had the vision of his deity KALI and experienced indescribable happiness!! For REAL HAPPINESS, materially or SPIRITUALLY LOVE is the most significant Factor!!"
