Have you ever found yourself making a decision that, at the time, did not seem to make any sense at all?
Logical thinking is a big part of how we face life. We analyze and work out our plans. However, when it comes to love, people’s emotions direct the story without following the usual patterns. A language that doesn’t require thinking but involves our emotions. Not a rhythm made of set rules, but of inner connection.
Love doesn’t need an explanation but does require you to be there for each other.
Love can show up quickly in someone’s eyes, remain hidden in quiet spaces, or surface at a time that seems unpredictable.
“When the Heart Leads and Logic Listens”
The words that were left out were shown by our heartbeat.
When the mind stopped, the heart took over and guided them.
Today, express your feelings instead of using logical thinking.
Since love doesn’t speak other languages, love is universal… It relies on the melody of the heart.
Love — A Song Only the Heart Can Hear
Love has a tune that cannot be described by any words.
It is something that can be sensed only by the heart.
When you look at someone after a while,
- The very first glance that stays with you.
- That feeling that is so familiar you don’t have to describe it to someone else,
- The instant when you see a smile in your dreams is truly memorable.
All these go beyond anything that logic alone can explain.
When Mind and Heart Stand on Opposite Sides…
The mind asks:
“Is this right? Will this work? Is this wise?”The mind wonders if the decision is right for everyone.
The heart responds:
“Try it anyway. You’ll feel alive.”The heart reminds us, “Let’s try it out!”
Who wins?
- The one who truly dares to experience strong emotions.
Is Logic Necessary in Love?
A question that comes up often is
- Is the moment the right time for this?
- Can we use it in daily life?
- Can this really succeed?
On the other hand, love goes deeper than just following a plan. There is a special and sacred aspect to it. It becomes clear when our eyes express everything we feel.
“Reason is powerless in the expression of Love.” ― Rumi
Choosing the Path of the Heart—If You Dare
- Be realistic with yourself.
- Pay attention to your own heart.
- Appreciate experience more than analysis.
''Love is a journey rather than a destination.''
And When Love Becomes Soulful..
Love is not influenced by caste or creed. No boundaries, no traditions—just divine action. Love becomes sacred when it touches the soul and rises above emotion. It creates a bond with the divine essence that resides in each heartbeat, not just with a human.
rāñjhā rāñjhā kar dī nī maiñ aape rāñjhā hoī saddo nī mainūñ dhīdo rāñjhā hiir nā aakho koī– — Bulleh Shah (” I kept saying Ranjha’s name, Until I became Ranjha myself, ” I am He, so stop calling me Heer. — Bulleh Shah )
The distinction between lover and beloved vanishes when love is soul-deep. You lose your “self” and discover your truth in the person you care about.
What Does Soulful Love Feel Like?
In love, you discover who you really are rather than losing yourself.
“In love, I discovered the self I’d long forgotten.”
No name remains, only a shadow in surrender.
–Anu Chandrashekar
When love transforms into devotion, it becomes divine and the distinction between God and love dissolves.
“When He sat on the throne of my heart, every moment of worship became a sacred breath.” — Anu Chandrashekar
Soulful Love Isn’t Just with Someone Else—It’s with Yourself
- It is that silent place when you feel complete among people.
- When a relationship not only joins you to another person- but to yourself.
“When I searched for love outside,
I found it quietly waiting inside me.”
Your Heart Has a Story Too, Doesn’t It?
Has there ever been an instance where your heart spoke the truth and logic stopped talking?
Has the mere presence of someone caused your heart rate to increase?
Or perhaps you were introduced to your soul by a profound love.
Tell your tale. Your truth might lead someone else home, so you never know.
The Journey of Love: From the Self to the Sacred
Personal Love — The First Awakening
Love frequently starts as a spark—in a glance, a moment spent together, or a glimmer of acceptance.
It teaches us joy, longing, vulnerability, and occasionally loss.
However, even heartbreak teaches us that we are capable of experiencing intense emotions.
“Tere bina zindagi se koi, शिकवा तो नहीं…” “(from the film Aandhi, lyrics by Gulzar)”
(Love may leave, but it gifts us the language of the soul.)
Self-Love — The Inner Revolution
Love starts on the inside before looking for it in others.
- It involves carefully selecting oneself each morning.
- It’s allowing your own chaos to be forgiven.
- It’s seeing value rather than wounds when you stand in front of a mirror.
- Self-love is fundamental; it is not selfish.
It teaches us to pour from an overflowing cup rather than an empty one.
"My scars stopped hurting me when I accepted them."
Romantic Love — The Magnetic Pull of Two Souls
Poetry frequently blossoms in romantic love.
It is intoxicating, intense, and inexplicable.
- It demands presence, not flawlessness.
- It sees the magic behind the mask, not the mask itself.
- In its purest form, it transforms into acceptance.
As Rumi said:
“Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along.”
Devotional Love — Sacred Surrender
Saints, poets, and mystics wrote about this love.
Where the Divine is symbolized by the beloved.
Where separation turns into unity and longing into prayer.
“Main nahi Mera—Sab tu hi tu…”
(I am no longer myself—only You remain.)
Poets such as Rumi, Kabir, and Mirabai went beyond human attachment.
Their poetry, in which love turns into freedom, reverberates with surre
“I drank the wine of love,
And forgot who I was.” — Kabir
Cultural & Universal Love — Love as a Living Force
Songs, rituals, languages, and stories all contain love.
It’s in the way we greet each other by folding our hands.
As the grandmother sang a lullaby,
In mutual laughter in foreign tongues.
Humanity is bound together by this type of love, which can be found in justice, compassion, and the guts to speak up.
As Faiz wrote during the struggle:
“Let me raise this candle, let this darkness burn.”
Love Is the Bridge
- Self to sacred,
- soft as love lyrics to soulful murmurs,
- cultural belonging to universal oneness
- fall in love but do not think of love as a place; it is a process.
- It is a journey that finds echoes in poetry, beginning within the heart.
Poets Who Lit the Path of Love
- Rumi – The saint who transformed yearning into Gods song
- Kabir– The un afraid mouth piece of harmony between soul and God
- Mirabai -The devotional dancer, who merged in the name of Krishna
- Faiz Ahmed Faiz – Love, revolution and justice tangled
- Ghalib – The philosopher of passion, struggles with the contradictions of the heart
- Bulleh Shah – The seeker who merged self with the Beloved.
