To know true love, one has to first see someone display true love to someone. Secondly one has to feel that love directed towards them. Thirdly one has to see the joy in showing True love.
I believe, when we saw you show that True love to 'Ma', we first learnt what true love is. Then when you showed unconditional love, towards us, expecting us to just show that love to 'Ma' and Then when we show that bhava of love from the bottom of our heart, not only did we feel the joy, we also saw joy in you.
Before we met you, we did not truly understand the principle behind hinduism and its rituals. We knew it was part of our culture. Our heritage. And we were meant to 'religiously' follow our rituals. We had heard a lot of myths and stories about our Gods. But we could not relate to our Gods. We saw the myth as probably stories of heros. Stories that were too good to believe - we were even told so. We only acknowledged them as Gods only because we had to be explained the concept of Gods only through them. We even dismissed some of them as fables. "Tatparyam" & "Bhavam", were absent in the way we saw God. We were told to follow rituals, because they were followed from time immemorial.
We did not love our God and we remained God Fearing People, running to him/her in only times of trouble or facing challenges.
