The definition of love is that the one without whom you cannot live, that is love, Surrender is not of the body but of the mind in love, is the truth of love. As soon as the mind surrenders, the body surrenders automatically.
The Gopis were separated from Shri Krishna for 109 years, but their love did not end. The love of the Gopis kept on increasing, Just like the nectar came out of the churning of the ocean, In the same way, separation is a churning which brings out the nectar of love. Because separation is the test of love.
The one without whom we cannot live is love. and this is known only in separation. The one whom we love, his absence is felt in separation. Indeed, the love increases by being together, But the love which keeps growing even in separation, is true love.
And If the love which does not increase in separation It is only a deceitful chapter, a dance of selfishness to feed illicit lust,
Jai Mahadev
