two ways of loving you

I have two ways of loving You:
A selfish one
And another way that is worthy of You.
In my selfish love, I remember You and You alone.
In that other love, You lift the veil
And let me feast my eyes on Your Living Face.

As a child, I loved you, since I wanted everything from you. It was my need, the desires to be fulfilled, that I chose you as my ‘kalpataru’, tree to fulfil my desire. I remembered you, no doubt. In that, ‘I’ remained away from ‘you’, when the distance remained fixed, I want, you give…!

Till my Lord, you chose to life the veil, the veil of ignorance. All that I kept covered, was exposed to you,….and in the light of knowledge, I saw Your Living face…..when you no longer was away from ‘I’….when I lost myself …..completely !!!
