How Love is produced

Love is produced or awakened in the heart in various ways. The first method is Darshan (to behold the Beloved). The second is to talk to the Beloved personally; and the third is Dhyan (contemplation of the Beloved).

We see someone and create a mental picture in our mind of his sweet manner of talking and his attractive face, and feel happy in that thought night and day.

This is the first stage.

Sometimes we listen to the description of someone’s beauty and forget ourselves in thinking of that individual.

it is the second stage.

When we fill our heart with the purity and noble qualities of someone and think about him day and night,

this is the third stage.

But when we are attracted by His handsome form and behold His beauty, and have been pierced by the sharp arrows of Love, then that attractive face keeps shining before our mind’s eye at all times.
