We offer you our love

English book, p. 51

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

WE OFFER YOU OUR LOVE should be accorded to God alone. Faced with an inner vacancy, a yawning gap in his soul that had to be filled, man should have turned to God for replenishment instead of other men. love is the greatest thing man has to offer anyone. how can man not love God when he sees that all sublime qualities come together in his majestic Being; when he realizes that whatever he owns is his divine gift; when he observes the world of nature and is filled with wonderment at the beauty and perfection of the Maker of such a magnificent work of art? such is God, and when a man discovers one like him, it is only natural to be filled with love and devotion for him. Man has nothing more significant to give anyone than love. hence, it is not possible that he discovers God—in all his perfection—and then offers something less than love. Therefore, neither is any offer less than love acceptable to God nor is it proper for a man to offer his lord anything less than pure, true love.
