Unconditional love is really under rated. And worse most people do not know what it is. It can be so beautiful and peaceful yet making you a beautiful and better person you were before it touched your soul. Most people unfortunately never experience it-even inspite of being married for years. And some experience it in a short period of time
And yet so many cannot even comprehend it. It is a brave act to love someone unconditionally without expecting anything in return and yet spread that love all over . Isnt it?
Well to really understand unconditional love I can only think of 1 character. And me who used to be a Bollywood buff till about a decade ago can only think of one of the best movies ever made . Jab we Met and Aditya Kashyap. He epitomises the Divine Masculine- unconditional love and that too with absolute grace and dignity
To summarise. A heartbroken rich business owner Aditya decides to go ‘nowhere’ after his business goes for a toss and after getting his heart broken by his girlfriend getting married to another man . He lands up in a train to meet a vivacious talkative girl Geet . Geet has met the man of her dreams Anshuman and is madly in love with him and on the way to elope with him and marry him.
And initially Aditya though irritated by Geets chatter then befriends her . The series of events bring Geet and Aditya closer . Aditya learns how to find happiness and is swept over by childlike Joy of Geet. Geet finally decides to elope with her assumed lover but gets dumped by him and is heartbroken.
Meanwhile Aditya assumes Geet is happily married to her lover but yet embodies the true unconditional love by thinking like her. He turns over his business and achieves unbelievable success in just 9-10 months. Later he comes to know the truth of Geet getting dumped by her lover Anshuman and she getting into a sad state.
Aditya brings her back to her home with Anshuman who returns to Geet after realising she is with the wealthy Aditya Kashyap and after moments of realisations and some eye opener events Geet realises she loves Aditya not Anshuman . The man gets rewarded for his unconditional love and most important - he being detached to the outcome of the love which he has embodied
Aditya taught us what unconditional love is. Have you ever loved someone so much that it doesn’t bother you if they choose you or not - love you back or not? No we are not talking about toxic codependent or obsessive unrequited love. Please note that those are totally opposite of unconditional love
Unconditional Love changes you. It is highly transformational and authentic. It can even open your psychic abilities and make you a better person
There are many lessons to learn from this movie- I can even write hundred. But here are the key our learnings from the movie
What do we learn from the movie and the characters
- Geet taught us what is it to follow your heart to even make mistakes bur live life without regrets. This joyous playful nature of hers is makes us smile even on a gloomy day. Are you ready to be joyful?
- What you really want will have a way of coming to you : It is well said - when you love someone set them free - if they come back they are yours and if not they never were. It is so beautifully conveyed by Aditya kashyap what it is to Love and to let go . What it is to love and spread that love in the world without expecting the other person to reciprocate.
- Love does not hold on it let’s go: Aditya Kashyap s love for Geet is so inspiring. It is pure and crude. He is intoxicated by love but not attached to the outcome. He is in allowance of Geets decisions and but doesn’t hold on to her but allows her to choose- to make her choices even if it means not choosing him
- There is life beyond a heartbreak : A heartbreak can be the most devastating thing you can face but it can also be immensely powerful. There is just a one point switch. A heartbreak can transcend you . The journey of falling in love is beautiful and if you have the right mindset and a healed conscious energy- the journey of looking at love from a higher perspective can be even more enriching for it takes you beyond your tipping point and transforms you beyond- only if you decide to change your mindset and approach it with awareness instead of judgment and conclusion . Both Aditya and Geet go through deadly Breakups at different points in their life and both use it to transmute their point of view over life. Both come out as more conscious aware individuals and find their ultimate lovers in each other
- Some relationships don’t work out with someone because it has to work out with someone else. When we get heartbroken we feel an immediate sense of loss of grief - but when the right person comes along way we realise why it didn’t work out with anyone else. It only takes patience allowance and being really really vulnerable with your own self and the other person . Anshuman dumped Geet only so that she could truly get the love she deserved, the respect she deserved.
- Love is the only truth : The truth is Love is like glitter- you cant stop it from spreading. So love deeply and unconditionally. Let yourself flow like a river . The song Tumse Hi is so beautifully written and picturised on Aditya how he lives in love ,rises in love and does not care for a relationship with Geet but instead spreads the love he has for Geet in his life
- Love is more Courage than romance : Although we all like candle light dinners - long walks in the rain and roses; Love is also a courageous committed act. Committing to someone and opening up of them with the truth builds trust and faith. When Aditya finds Geet is in Shimla he goes and brings her back home. He does not care whether Geet loves him back or is interested in going back home. I feel in so many Bollywood movies full of glamourising the toxic masculine - Aditya is a beautiful example of divine masculine- who stands up supporting the feminine allowing her to flow like a river
I think this movie has been an evergreen one. And it is much more deeper than what appears on the surface. I wish more people truly experience love in their life. Here we are not talking about compromised or lukewarm relationships or Toxic relationships and marriages- but truly the love that opens your heart and changes you as a person. And whether you have found it or not - Believe in it
Because- Life is an Illusion- only love is real!
