LOVE

"When Love glows, It is bliss.

When it flows, it is compassion.

When it blows, it is anger.

When it ferments, it is jealousy.

When it is all "no's", it is hatred.

When it acts, it is perfection.

WHEN LOVE KNOWS, IT IS ME."

"Let the love be. Do not give it a name. when you give love a name it becomes a relationship, and relationship restrict love."

Why does a person love someone? Is it because of their qualities or because of a sense of kinship or intimacy?

If you love someone because of their qualities than love gives rise to competition & Jealousy and when the quality change, your love also change. However, if you love someone out of kinship, because they belong to you, then that remains for lifetime.

People say, "I love God because he is great." What if God is found to be ordinary, just one of us? Then your love and God would collapse. If you love God because He is yours, then however God is, whether He creates or destroys, you will still Love Him.

What are the Signs of love?

When you love someone you see nothing wrong with them. Even if you see a fault in them you justify it in some way- "Everyone does that; it is normal." You think you have not done enough for them. They are always in your mind. Ordinary things become extraordinary. Just like A baby winking at its grandmother becomes an extraordinary event. When you love someone, you want to see them always happy and you want them to have the best.

Must love always change?

Love is your nature. What is your nature cannot change, But the expression of love changes. i.e. A mother has total love for her child. Sometimes she feeds the child; sometimes she is strict with the child. She does this out of love and these are all different modes of love. So the expression of love changes. But love itself does not change, because Love is your nature.

How can one get a Genuine love?

The ability to receive genuine love comes, with the ability to give Love. The more you are centered and know by experience that you are love, the more you feel at home with any amount of love being expressed in any manner, for deep inside, you know love is not an emotion, it is your existence.

You Feel love for someone and they do not accept it, at that time many negative emotion arises. What is the way to out of this? How do one can maintain his lovingness?

• Have patience and change your expression of love.
• Be centered and limit your expression of Love. Sometimes expressing too much love puts people off.
• Take it for granted that they love you too and just accept their style of expression.
• Genuinely acknowledge whatever love they have for you. This will turn your demand into gratefullness and the more grateful you are in life, the more love comes your way.
• Know that hurt is part of love and take responsibility for it. When you move away from your center, you will get hurt and the nature of worldliness is misery.
