Human life never runs  smooth and it is always unpredictable, uncertain and changeable. With the  passage of time our life changes because our surroundings as well as our life  situations change. With the result we have to face different challenges in the  different stages of our life and overcome these challenges in order to survive  and continue our life. There are some moments and occasions in our life when  our emotions as well as our intellect is flintily challenged and we have to use  our intellect judiciously during such times so that we may not go astray.  Almost all of us must have gone through a phase in our lives when we  desperately fall in love with somebody to the extent that we keep our egoistic  nature aside and become totally depend on the mercy of that person. We forget  our own selves and that very person becomes the whole world for us and we let  that person to decide our fate due to compulsive nature of our emotions.  Emotionally, this is the weakest phase of our life as we totally surrender  before our emotions and our emotions incapacitate us to think normally.  Sometimes we repeatedly beg for our love irrespective of the arrogant, negative  or cold response of the opposite person towards us. We try our utmost to turn  the attention of next person towards us regardless of his carelessness. During  such period of our life our emotions overpower our intellect and we loose our  senses to such an extent that we become ready to take any false step regardless  of its consequences and we slowly malign our own status and honor in our  society. We flow in the flow of emotions and seldom care for negative results  as our emotions can beguile us for every kind of false action during this  period. When we gingerly look at the scene we observe that none among the two  persons involved can be blamed for their behavior towards each other. Both the  persons involved in the matter are creatures of Almighty and it is natural  tendency of all creatures to be concerned more to oneself than towards other.  One among the two falls in love because he can not control his emotions and the  other treats it in  careless manner as it  looks an ordinary episode for him. One among the two carves his whole world in  another person while as the other treats him as a common person among the  millions. The underlying reason for these actions and reactions is that God has  created human beings in such a way that they can touch the skies but they can  never know the secrets lying inside the hearts of their fellow beings. It is  the characteristic of human nature that they can not feel the emotions lying  deep inside the chest unless and until they get burst in one way or the other.  Instead, it is Lord Almighty God who knows the unexpressed emotions and secrets  of every human heart. If human beings would have been able to know the secrets  of hearts, then love would have never get hatred in response, neither feelings  of any human being would have been mistreated or brutalized by other people.
  This is the one side of the story where we  find the nocuous effects of falling desperately in love with a particular  individual. Let us turn the page and try to know the results of falling in love  with the creator of universe instead of loving a particular human being. We all  are well aware about the fact that there prevails a perfect system of justice  in the kingdom of Almighty God and God has promised us to reward us for our  good deeds. So there is not an iota of doubt in the fact that If we will fall  in love with our Lord, we will be equally rewarded for it. Loving our Lord is  totally different from loving an individual. Loving our Lord will never lead us  to vileness. Our Lord knows better the secrets and feeling of our hearts, so  here our feelings are beautifully honored, properly valued and perfectly  rewarded. But it is unfortunate that our emotions mislead us and instead of  loving our creator and bowing our head before Him we fall in love with human  beings where we have to face nothing but debasement and it finally leads to  ruination of both our present life and life hereafter. We loose the peace of  mind and feel frustrated when our feelings are not responded and valued by a  person whom we love which in turn causes psychological and mental depression  and resultantly it leads our life to the brink of destruction. Contrary to this  the love of our Lord brings peace in our lives. It is the love of our Lord  which can lead us to success in this world and the world hereafter. So it is  advisable that we should never waste our life in uselessly loving a particular  human being rather we should spend it in loving the creator of our life and we  should always try to control our emotions and use our intellect prudentially.  We need to know the actual purpose of being here in the world as everyone of us  has been sent here with a purpose and we have to fulfill that very purpose. We  are supposed to be responsible for our good as well as bad deeds in this world  and we have to be answerable before Almighty God on the day of judgment. So we  should spend our life in good deeds and always love our creator. We should be  always thankful to Almighty God for His countless blessings. May Almighty God  fill our hearts with His love and lead us to the right path.
