A true lover readily puts his everything at stake for the sake of love as beloved is considered to be equivalent to God. Now let us pause to think how this would sound if beloved is God Himself. For that case we can recall the life of Shri Meerabai. The physical afflictions had little effect upon her because Krishna's love was excruciating her heart and there is nothing more painful than the feeling of being away from Him. This so called ‘separation’ is actually a mechanism to instinctively join us with Him while bodily, we may be apart.

Love cannot be exactly defined but it is said to have 9 attributes- body begins to pale, sighs become cold, and eyes remain wet; there is loss of appetite and sleep; staying aloof, all time waiting for the beloved, feeling anxious about the reason of delay while faith restoring the patience. The genuine spirit of love, thus, lets us naturally dissolve our identity into His endless existence.
