Influence
Regarding getting influenced, persons who get influenced by saints, follow saints. Those who get influenced by materialistic persons follow material path. From childhood, everyone gets influenced by others. In fact, child learns through influence of surrounding people – parents, relations, friends, something that watches on TV and so on…That influence is an essential factor of learning process.
love?
In order to love, one must seek such infinite happiness and then it is very easy to love others as you can distribute free of charge what you have earned.
Happiness and Love
To me, everyone is in constant pursuit of happiness. In fact, each and every action of ours is directed to seek happiness. I think I have proved it beyond doubt in the very first page of the permanent solution. So the hypothesis is: Since you are in the pursuit of happiness, you will be in pursuit of happiness till you come across the happiness that will never recede. It is our common experience that the happiness that we receive thorough any of our actions, recedes. It doesn’t stay there in the mind.
About geting to God.
There is one important consideration about having brain. Either you should be so intelligent that with your own intelligence you will discover that there is a world beyond reach of intelligence or you should be so dumb that you accept whatever a saint tells you and follow him without allowing any doubt to creep in your mind. Both can get God. People lying in between create doubts for themselves and others too and therefore, cannot succeed in getting God.

Maya 3
“UNDER INFLUENCE OF MAYA means YOU HAVE NOT YET GOT THE TASTE OF INFINITE HAPPIBESS”
You leave that person and try to establish relationship with other persons. Again, the same story repeats. Happiness is ever eluding. Ultimately after many lives, individual decides to turn to God. Thus, Maya serves a useful purpose. Actually when one does not realise the presence of all-powerful, all-knowing, blissful God, he or she is said to be under Maya – Away from God. As if there was a curtain that prevented the sight of God.
Maya – 2
All desires and therefore all emotions are result of Maya. Maya helps mind to create desires so that it is possible for mind to fetch happiness for soul. Well, to know expanse of Maya, the statement “The limit up to which your intellect can understand, is all realm of Maya” would be all right. Maya has been there from the beginning and no one created it, including God. There is an important statement in Gita, “Something, which does not exists, will never come into existence and something, which is existing, will never cease to exists.” God does not create anything new.
