65. Love can lead you to God
A man goes to the great saint Ramanuja and asks. 'Master I want to achieve God. I want to have enlightenment. Can you teach me something? Ramanuja asks him, 'Have you experienced love at any time in your life? Have you really lost yourself in love?" The man is shocked. He cries, 'What are you talking? I am leading such a pure life! I am practicing self-control. I am doing all kinds of spiritual practices. I came to you to realize God, but you are talking about something else! I don't know what you are trying to teach me. I wonder if you are really enlightened or not..?" Ramanuja replies, 'If you have not even experienced ordinary love - forget about God! You cannot experience God.'
Unless you learn to drop your logic at least once in ordinary love, unless you learn to surrender your logic to the experience of love, how will you even understand what happens when you are in love with the Divine? You cannot even recognize, you cannot even have a glimpse of the divine experience, unless you have had some experience which is beyond all your logical calculations.
