Love & Meditation

"Jinh prem kiya, tin hi prabh payo!" (Only those who have loved, have met GOD)

There is only one way to meet the beloved.. LOVE. There is no other alternate for love... I asked father once,which is better, LOVE for GOD/MASTER or meditation? Silly question, one might think, but it had its root in the hymns... Every mystic, be it Baba Farid, Bulle Shah, Sultan Bahu, Ravidas, Kabir, Guru sahiban(10 Sikh Gurus), Tulsi sahib, Meera Bai, Sehjo Bai, Charan Das ji, Soami ji (Soami Shiv Dayal Singh ji) etc.all of them were die-hard lovers of their respective Gurus. Take any example, here is one kalaam by Hazrat Sultan Bahu:

"eh tan mera chashma hove, murshid vekh na rajjan hu
luun-luun de mudh lakh-lakh chashma, ik kholan ik kajjan hu
itniyaan dithiyaan sabar na aawe, hor kitey val bhajjan hu
murshid da deedaar hai bahu, lakh karoddaan hajjan hu."
(Let this body of mine be an eye, I would keep watching my Master
millions of eyes be in every pore, if one blinks the others will be open
all of these do not suffice, till what shall i contemplate (you)
Bahu says, to me a glimpse of my Master is equivalent to thousand millions of Haz)

The central emotion of this hymn is love for the master, as Hazrat Sultan Bahu wants every cell of his body to have millions of eyes so that even if one eye closes(to blink), the others can imbibe the sweetness of the Darshan of Guru.
So, father said, meditation ignites the flame of love in the disciple. "Agar guru mehar kar ke shishya(disciple) ko prem ki bakshish dein to alag baat hai warna "guru se lagan kathin hai bhai". Magar jise prem ho jaata hai, uske liye bhajan(meditation) majboori ban jaata hai, wo bina apne pritam(beloved) ke darshan ke reh hi nahi sakta. Isiliye bhajan(meditation) jaroori hai prem paida karne ke liye aur jise prem ho jayega, wo har pal apne priyatam(beloved) ka simran karega".

Yes, it is very true, that a lover always thinks of his/her beloved, always wants to be near her/him, always wants to hear her/his voice. Take example of worldly love(which is not even a trifle as compared to love of God). Lovers go on talking over phone about nothing, but they just want to hear each-other's voice. Those who've had crush would certainly know the importance of walking down the street of their crush after every hour or so, just to get a glimpse of the subject of crush. How enchanting!!. But I'm talking about worldly love where it should be the love of God. Why is it so difficult to love the Master(may be not for all of us)?? What form of love to the Master is to be perceived?? Love Him as a father, mother, friend or beloved?? Or does it matter at all what form it takes for what only matters is the love for Guru..?? Why don't we fall in love with Him? why, O why???
Please let me fall Father for I know you are there to hold me, please make me blind to this world for there are many enchantresses to divulge my weakness and i may see none of them but you, let me cry my heart out for you, let me spend sleepless nights in your remembrance...please let me.... be a lover....
