Can You please enlighten the planning of interest and follow up action?

[A question by Ms. Laxmi Thrylokya]

Swami replied:- Follow up action can be planned, but, interest can’t be planned. After loving a girl, follow up action can be planned to attain that girl. But, loving the girl itself can’t be planned because love or interest is spontaneous and is born naturally. The birth of love or interest is not to be developed, but, develops by the attraction towards the divine personality of God. After developing the divine love or devotion, one can plan the procedure to please God. Of course, there is cause for love also, which is the attraction to the personality. Sometimes love or interest is generated beyond logic also. If somebody says a lover that the girl loved by him is not really beautiful, the lover will say “see her with my eyes!”. Such love beyond logic is blind. Some reason must be there for proper love. When the love or interest reaches climax level, it become madness because the logic drops away in this stage.
