Samael Aun Weor teaches us that true love is a divine force, a sacred flame that transcends the illusions of desire and elevates us to the highest planes of consciousness.
Love cannot be defined in mere words, for it is the very essence of Creation, the sublime manifestation of the Divine Mother of the World. It pulses in every atom, shines in every star, and vibrates silently in the hearts of those who truly know how to love.
To understand love in its totality, we must go beyond the superficial concepts of modern society, which often reduces this cosmic force to a mere game of interests or a contract based on material convenience. True love does not smell of bank accounts, nor is it limited to projections of status and security. It is pure, intense, and absolute. Whoever truly loves is capable of giving everything, without calculations or expectations.
Authentic love finds its highest expression in the perfect marriage, which goes far beyond the mere physical union between two people. For a marriage to be truly sacred, it must occur across all seven planes of cosmic consciousness: physical, etheric, astral, mental, causal, buddhic, and atmic. This means that both beings must be deeply connected in thought, feeling, and will.
When two souls vibrate in harmony across these three aspects, marriage becomes a gateway to enlightenment, a bridge to divinity. However, when this harmony is absent, conflicts, disillusionment, and often separation arise. Some marriages are strong in the physical realm but empty in the emotional one. Others share mental affinities but lack true passion. And there are those that fail to even reach the astral plane, becoming mere social conventions or alliances based on the fear of loneliness.
Samael Aun Weor warns us that many confuse desire with love. Desire is fleeting, and when satisfied, it leaves only emptiness and frustration. Love, on the other hand, is an eternal flame, capable of withstanding time and trials. To know whether the feeling one experiences is genuine, one must ask: Would I be willing to give my very life for my beloved? If the answer is hesitant, then it may not yet be love, but a fleeting illusion.
Authentic love is the key to spiritual transformation. It purifies us, strengthens us, and allows us to transcend the limitations of the ego. Through this sacred fire, we can become gods, attaining wisdom and fulfillment.
But to do so, discipline and self-knowledge are essential. True love requires absolute surrender, a connection that goes beyond physical attraction and sweet words. The man in love must seek to understand whether his beloved is truly his soul companion, whether she resonates with him in the planes of thought, feeling, and will. Otherwise, the relationship will be nothing more than a passing flame, destined to fade with time.
In today's world, many marriages are built on fragile foundations. When desire is mistaken for love, frustration and suffering inevitably follow. Adultery, for instance, is not merely a betrayal of the other but a betrayal of one's own spirit—a clear sign that true love is absent.
A woman who is truly in love would never betray her beloved, for her love is a reflection of the purity of her soul. Likewise, a man who commits adultery reveals that his heart was never truly committed.
Love is divine, but it is also demanding. It calls for devotion, sincerity, and fidelity—not only to another person but to oneself and to the higher purpose of life. Those who wish to experience true love must be willing to abandon the illusions of desire, the games of the ego, and artificial expectations.
Before taking the great step of marriage, every person should ask themselves: Am I truly in love, or merely deceived by desire? Is my soul in harmony with my partner’s across the planes of thought, feeling, and will?
If the answer is yes, then this love will be a blessing, a guiding light on the path of spiritual evolution. But if there is doubt, caution is necessary, for marriage without love is a prison—a shadow of what could have been a sacred sanctuary.
Samael Aun Weor reminds us that true love is the very manifestation of the Divine Mother. It transforms us, elevates us, and leads us to the amphitheater of cosmic science. To love is not merely a human act but a divine calling—a path that leads us back to the original source of existence.
