Beas: Where love spelt its divine definition

Love at first conversation might sound improbable — but for us, it felt divinely orchestrated, as if the Master’s will had quietly arranged our meeting. Our first conversation was a soul-stirring exchange about the Radha Soami teachings, divine love, and how we could walk the inner path together.

We spoke for hours, completely lost in each other’s presence. As our grandfather always says, “This bond is destined, eternal, and blessed.” We got married in November last year, and two weeks later, we visited Beas. The place felt like stepping into a sacred space — pilgrims, seekers, families all around, yet the air seemed filled with calm and purpose. We kept extending our stay, drawn to its peace and quiet joy.

One afternoon in the canteen, we met an elderly international lawyer. His gentle smile and calm eyes immediately put us at ease. He asked about our journey and shared his enchanting love story. Then, leaning in softly, he said: “Love is a verb. Words are either glue — binding and uplifting — or acid, corrosive and divisive. Be mindful, and you’ll be good to go.” His words cut through the clatter around us — it was as if the divine lord had spoken.

Almost a year into our marriage, we choose conscious speaking so every word builds, heals, and serves like a thread weaving our lives together. My husband often reminds me, “The word is with God, and the word is God.” By living love this way, each day feels extraordinary. We ask each other often — are we choosing glue or acid?
