Madhusudan Naidu gives us a glimpse of Swami's teaching on Love!
The narrative begins with a comment made by Swami to a lawyer about the incompatibility of 'law' and 'love'. This comment on first notice appears to be something candid. Yet on contemplation, one finds that it is flooded with Swami’s philosophical insight. Madhusudan Naidu recounts the various instances in which Swami out of His boundless love bend the stringent and at times inhuman rules of the law - both natural and human-made. This brings out Swami's conviction that love alone is the true law.
When a young lawyer, working with the Trust, stood right at the door as Swami emerged, He looked at the lawyer and playfully remarked, “Oh, you and I don’t go together. Yours is law and mine is love. Law knows no love, and love knows no law.”Madhusudan Naidu
Though it sounded like a light hearted comment from Swami, yet weighed in gold.
I have seen Him change all the laws, the existential and the ephemeral, for the sake of
Love madhusudan Naidu. Whether in the most extraordinary
way when He beckoned a departed soul back into the body on the plea of a devastated wife,
undoing death and discarding the law of Universe; or when He identified an ordinary boy
on the street as a student of the campus who had dropped out, unable to pay the hostel
fee and took him back half way through the year bending the policies of the Board.
He only proved it beyond doubt that love never knew any law, for love alone was law to Him.
