Swajan: Mota, the element of love that is present in all beings as the desires for worldly pleasures. When that can be considered transformed (sublimated) as divine love?
Pujya Shree Mota: It is a well accepted fact that human being carries the residue of the animal kingdom and seeds of the divinity. Ultimately the humans, animals and everything else will be merged with divine consciousness. If human being wants to expedite the speed of the evolution, so that he can avoid misery, worry and sorrow arising out of the karmas; he must sublimate this great element of the God (love). I would go the extent, that if one wants to serve humanity, one would need to sublimate this formidable element love.
How can we say that love is sublimated? It is sublimated when all aspects of the love (dual and non dual) are expressed fully and in totality. Without the presence of two, there is no existence of this universe or love. Even the most sinful person loves his body and mind so much that he commits real bad karmas to please them. So knowingly or unknowingly he considers body, mind and nature (expression of Prakruti) separate from 'I'. Love can be present when there is lover and the person to be loved. There is a natural higher progress in love as it is a divine element. So there is a slow or fast progress in duality (with awareness or as per nature) towards the ideal of non duality, absorption and mixing together. All these are present in love in the concealed or manifested form. Thus love is a chain that connects and also a tool for realization. In fact true love is such a chain, that it is the form of realization.
