Q.19) Why does a lover love the beloved?
Ans) If the lover is immersed in love, no answer will be given. Even if an answer is given, it will be "I don't know." Love is a secret that exists between the lover and the beloved.
"Miyān 'āshiq o ma'shūq ramzīst
Karaman kātibīn rāham khabar nīst."
Meaning, there is a secret between the lover and the beloved that even the knowledgeable scribes are unaware of.
Love is like a piece of jaggery in the mouth of a mute person. He can taste it, but he cannot tell what its delight is. Love is like the fragrance of flowers, which you can smell, but you cannot explain it to others.
Everything is understood through the mind, but love is beyond the scope of the mind. The mind cannot perceive it or comprehend it. And that which is beyond the scope of the mind is called a secret, which means something that remains unknown even after understanding and knowing.
The tongue of the mind is words, and the tongue of the heart is emotions. And there are certain emotions that are sometimes difficult to express in words. Love is also among those emotions.
