On a personal level, the answer is a big fat no. Then you look around at pictures of Gursikhs with radiant faces. You hear stories of how they've given their lives for love. How they spend all day and night in meditation. How they travel all around the world to spread Guroo's word. That's love.
Every time I think of love for God I always think of this one sakhi of a Gursikh that someone told me.
A gupt Naam Abhiyaasi Gursikh regularly done Seva in 5 Pyaare. Before the Amrit ceremony can commence, the jathedaar, in the presence of Guroo Sahib, will always ask the 5 Singhs if their Rehat is good and if there is anything they have done and want to get off their chest.
The jathedaar asked the first Singh. The Singh said there was no issues and his Rehat was good. The jathedaar then moved on to the 2nd Singh. The Singh said the same. The jathedaar made his way through the rest of the Singhs. When he got to the 5th Singh he said. "So Singh Sahib, have you broken your Rehat? Is there anything you want to confess?" At this point the Gursikh just burst into tears. "Yes there is, I've done something so bad I just can't stop thinking about it." The rest of the Singhs looked shocked and didn't know what to say. "The other day I was really hungry, I went to eat my food and forgot to thank Vaheguroo for giving it to me."
That's love.
