Dwell in peace in the home of your own being, and the Messenger of Death will not be able to touch you.
Guru NanakRead
Through True Love, she merges with Him. She who does not know her Husband Lord, the Architect of karma, is deluded by falsehood she herself is false.
Interpretation
What this quote means
True love leads to a deep spiritual connection with the divine, while ignorance leads to delusion.
In this quote by Guru Nanak, the emphasis is on the transformative power of true love, which allows an individual to unite with the divine essence of God, referred to as the Husband Lord. It highlights the distinction between those who understand and embody this profound love and those who are ensnared in false beliefs, thereby creating a veil of ignorance that prevents them from recognizing the truth of their spiritual existence.

Lovers have heartaches _x000D_ That can't be cured by drugs _x000D_ Or sleep, _x000D_ Or games, _x000D_ But only by seeing their beloved.
RumiRead
Where did love begin?What human being looked at another and saw in their face the forests and the sea? Was there a day, exhausted and weary,dragging home food, arms cut and scarred, that you saw yellow flowers and, not knowing what you did, picked them because I love you? In the fossil record of our existence, there is no trace of love. You cannot find it held in the earth's crust, waiting to be discovered. The long bones of our ancestors show nothing of their hearts.
