"Yes! I was bored. That is why you are here." He answered plainly.
"What?"
"Don't forget Parvathi, that you are actually the Prakruthi, the 'Mother Nature'. You are my 'interest', my 'desire' and my 'energy' responsible for the formation of this 'universe'."
"That I know, my lord. But ..."
"But what dear? You are the reason why the world is existing. And now you are blaming me, calling me heartless for creating this universe. Were you not the one, who pulled me out of myself, and made me love you. Is this creation not the result of our love? This world has been formed when I (sperm) entered you (ovum)."
"Umm ... sorry ... but if it is the result of 'love', then why is there so much hatred in this world? Why have we created such a world, where even the traces of our love are wiped away? Sometimes it feels bad, to see the world in chaos."
"Remember, hatred is nothing but the shell, which covers and conceals love. It is not a separate entity."
"Can you please elaborate it, my lord?" She did not realise when her frustration melted away. Now she was left with pure thirst. Thirst for the knowledge and wisdom that her husband imparted. Thirst to eagerly catch each of his word and treasure it in her mind forever. She moved closer to him, staring into his eyes. He smiled and continued.
"Love is like the tender coconut juice and pulp, the sweet nourishing factor, which is the basis of the world. It is around this love, that the universe is formed, layer by layer. But by the end, the universe has been completely formed and the love is buried deep inside. As soon as this happens, the world cools and hardens; as the warm core of love, is no longer able to express itself. That is why you can still find the molten cores in rocky planets, especially the earth. It is this rocky surface that living creatures, especially humans occupy."
"Yes, now I am able to recall it." She moved closer, feeling the urge to learn more. He smiled and continued.
"Yes. But the hard rocky (material) world, which has spun itself around the love, has limited the effects of love. It has imposed restrictions, just like a cocoon limits a silk worm. That is when, the effects of love are no longer felt beyond the materialistic cocoon. This state, is what we call hatred. A state where love cannot be felt. HATRED IS NOT THE OPPOSITE OF LOVE, IT IS SIMPLE BLINDNESS TOWARDS LOVE. When you stop experiencing love, you go towards the hatred. That is what happens to the humans. But if you break the hard shell of coconut, you will reach back to its sweet core again. The same way, if you open your eyes and realise the love that I give you, you will no longer hate. Just like darkness disappears when light appears, hatred evaporates as love is brought into experience." He paused and looked at her, who was having tears in her eyes. He pulled her into a gentle hug and that moment, she melted to warmth of his love. After a while, they broke the hug and she looked like in a dreamy state.
