Dinesh Kamath's Editorial (Love is God) that was published in Newsband


Love is God
A famous poet had said, “Do not snap the tender thread of love; once snapped, it will not rejoin and even if the ends are tied, a knot would remain.”
We should control our ego or else we won’t be able to judge the world properly. We should be careful when we speak since even one mistake can make us regret later and damage relationship.
Buddha had once proved to a dacoit that it was easy to kill but it was impossible to revive a dead man. Buddha just asked the dacoit to cut a twig. The dacoit cut the twig. Next, Buddha asked him to rejoin the two pieces and make them one again. The dacoit could not do that. Buddha then told him that if he could not give life, he had no right to take it away. The dacoit then gave up dacoity and became the follower of Buddha.
We should be full of love and care for others. We should never snap the ties of love. If only all the good people start loving, the criminals in our society will turn into good and loving citizens.
If there is one thing that makes life worth living, it is love. Love invigorates all creatures. The Gods too crave for a devotee’s outpouring of love, unquestioning surrender and overflowing affection, very much like a devotee who longs for divine love.
Conditional love pieces together conditions, agreements and demands between loving individuals. Unconditional love stands at a higher level. Love between parents and children are generally unconditional.
Pure love manifests itself in an individual’s thought, every spoken word and each shade of nature revealing the nuances of life to him or her.  Love keeps the spark of life alive, becomes a harbinger of emancipation and communicates the strength of unknown forces hidden within us.
Loving is abstaining from violence in thought and deed to make the best of our Mother Earth. Only love can make life a big success. Someone had rightly said, “Love is God.”
