“You’re in love when nobody can understand the way you feel.”
-Unknown
 
Kabir – The couplet
अकथ कहानी प्रेम की, कहत कही न जाए ।
गूंगे केरी सरकार, खाए और मुस्काए ॥
 
transliterated:
Akath kahani prem ki, kahat kahi na jaye|
Goonge keri sarkara, khaye aur muskaye||
 
Translation:
The story of God’s love is indescribable. No description is befitting|
Just as the dumb person, having eaten candy, smiles in joy but cannot describe it ||

My understanding:
Some emotions have to be experienced to be understood. No one can understand the pain of childbirth, far less explain the look of transcendent joy on the mother’s face on first contact with the newborn, despite the ordeal just completed.

No words can completely describe the emotions running through a marathon runner’s mind on having completed the run – or fully explain the look of achievement on the face atop a completely drained body.

When we cannot find words for emotions and experiences we humans see repeatedly in our life, how can we expect to find words to describe the union, meeting and communion with that energy that no physical senses can sense? For our words limit their story to the more basic of the physical world’s experience, no more.

Try to read not much into the story of other’s experience, and find similitude – look rather to create your own experience so you may truly understand.
