LOVE OF THE BELOVED

 7 August, 1929

The love of the Beloved is not commonplace or ordinary. His fancy or lahar [whim], his mood and actions, can create in a second doubts in the minds of his lovers. Where there is doubt, there is not love, as doubt and love cannot live together. The lover who has doubts about his Master has no love for him.

Kalyan and Arjuna were the beloveds of their Beloved Masters, Swami Ramdas and Krishna; but Jesus had none. The Avatar descends on Earth for his beloveds, his real lovers, and he works for them side by side with his working for the entire universe. But it is not necessary that all Avatars must have a beloved.
