I was thinking of the moments spent with a certain someone who was, is and will be very close to my heart and humming the lines mentioned below. This song was from a popular Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) starrer movie and the lines were perfectly mushy and it always made my knees wobble and skip a heart beat as I remembered that pretty face in front of my eyes. I'm a pseudo-atheist myself and don't believe in God till there is a need or rather greed. That might be the reason why God Almighty never blessed me with my desires!
Hindi: Tujh mein rab dikhta hai
Yaara mein kya karun
Sajde Sar jhukta hai
Yaara mein kya karun
Eng: I See God In You
My Love, What Am I To Do?
I Bow My Head Before You
My Love, What Am I To Do?
Once when I was humming the song, my friend Mrs. Kambalia said that she doesn't believe that you can find God in the one you love. She hated the whole point that love can make her see God in a person she loves. She hated the existence of such a thought! For her God and love were not even comparable. After that I totally forgot all about the song and the discussion, until today when I hummed the song at work and it brought back all the memories associated with it. Then, I thought maybe I should pen down my thoughts about this song and share it with Mrs. Kambalia and other readers.
My Explanation:
God doesn't have physical existence in our lives nor can we feel that Almighty Power. But, as all the great poets and writers have said: God Is Love, when we submit ourselves to our lovers or partners and love them more than they do to us or more than anyone, you will see God or his semblance in your partner. In order to be in that state of enlightenment and to see your God's 'shadow', you need to be in deep love or love trance with your partner and that comes with trust and knowing the person.
Once you reach that level, you will find your God in that person, your partner or lover. And, you'll feel Peace and Tranquility that you've never experienced. This is not restricted to just lovers, but in any relation like parents, grandparents, relatives, brothers/sisters, in-laws, friends, acquaintances, business partners and so on. To be in love is to be free, like free falling in Bungee Jumping. You feel good, even when your hurt, when your guts feel like they are in your mouth due to high gravitational forces.
Unconditional love is like heaven, when you give all your love without expecting anything in return. Love, Peace (Inner & Outer), Trust etc. makes you feel over the top and you forget all your past troubles and problems and become one with your God via your lover/partner.
Hope, you find your true love one day pretty soon. It would elevate you and your senses and then you will call or email me to say, "You were so right earlier, my friend. Yes, yes, yes, I can find my God in my partner. I was wrong when I debated on this. Thanks, for showing me the way. For showing me the true love that I always lacked."
Sincere best wishes for all my readers.

true love... an oxymoron?
I know... But when it strikes, you know what not to do! ;)
