That is true. And, that is precisely what i am trying to explain.
Let me give two different examples, one from the past and one from the very present.
I am sure that all would be heard of Taj Mahal, that Emperor Shah Jahan built in the memory of her beloved life Mumtaj Mahal. But, keeping the stoty of Taj Mahal aside, i want to focus on a different aspect here.
When Mumtaj Mahal died, while giving birth to her 14th child, Shah Jahan locked himself in his room and refused to open the doors for anyone. He remained locked there for three days, completely alone, without even talking to anyone.
[b]And, when he opened the doors after three days, his hair and beard had been become completely white, while both were black when he locked himself. That was the impact of losing his love, which transferred nt only his mind but on his body too.
That is true love[/b].
The second example is merely some years old.
There was an ordinary man in the name of Dasrath Manjhi, who lived in a small village of India. There was no water facility in his village so his wife, Falguni Devi, had to climb the hill every day to fetch the water for her family. One day, she slipped there, got injured seriously and died ultimately, because she could not be taken to hospital due to the same hill. So, Dasrath decided to take the hill headon.
He literally started cutting the hill alone to make the way by hammer and chisels. People called him mad and crazy inicially but he continued. And, it is almost immpossible to believe that he continued doing so for the next 22 years, every day, without stopping. And, at alst, he successfully carved 360 feet long, 25 feet high and 30 feet wide road single handidly. He died in 2007.
Let us keep in mind here that he was a simple and totally illiterate laborer, completely unable to understand what the philosophy of love and even cannot write his name. But, seeing his wife dying, he empathazied her pain and helplessness and that encouraged him to take up such a task, that most of us cannot even dream of.
That is true love.
That is why i said that it is a rare phenmenon, though not impossible.
By the way, the famous Taj Mahal also took the same 22 years to complete.
What a coincidence!
