Unless God grants the divine grace and ability, it is beyond human capability; love's bounty may be widespread, but the true realization and deep understanding of love is not common.
This couplet draws a tender distinction between simply feeling love and truly comprehending its sacred essence. While love showers its bounty freely upon the world like gentle rain, reaching its deeper spiritual wisdom—its 'irfaan'—is a gift bestowed only by divine grace. Without that higher awakening, a human heart may swim in love's ocean yet never truly fathom the depths of its mystery.
