Love … Love... Love

Happy valentines day @jskls.
Love is me , Love is you , and love is everything.

 

Happy Valentine’s Day @jskls.
This is possible only when we realise our happiness lies within ourselves. Only when we depend on others for our happiness we will end up in pain.
Saying tat is easy, but following this is very difficult and takes time.
I have the same doubt and know the answer too, but reaching to tat stage is wat which is taking lot of time. Today morning I was reading all Self Love quotes for inspiration.

Lastly I love tat song from 96. Very melodious

 

Dear Lakshmi,

Here is the five minute meditation text that I shared with the children to practice "Love all; serve all".

"You close your eyes and focus your attention to the place between your eyebrows. Assume there is a spiritual heart that resides within you. Imagine that it is a fountain that can spray plenty of love but restrained by your mind that is focused on self. Now your single most objective is to remove the restrain and make the fountain function spraying plenty of water to the saplings that are planted by the Lord of the Universe around you. Imagine that your mind is firmly placed on top of your spiritual heart and is completely rusted. You have to find a good tool that can remove that restrain. You found intellect as the correct tool that can unlock the mind. You also need to apply grease in the form of good spiritual disciplines to make the mind unlock quickly. When you do all of that, slowly the mind unlocks and suddenly, you notice that the love flows and sprays all over those wonderful saplings that are planted around you by the Lord of the Universe. They grow nicely and started yielding fruits. It makes you feel happy that you contributed to the growth of the saplings. Now you slowly open your eyes and feel relieved that a free flow of love has begun and now there is no restrain on your spiritual heart."

 

@jskls Lovely snippet with many questions.

Lakshmi @jskls,

Love is an essential, elusive, transient emotion. Everyone feels it but only some get to relish it to its fullest in its pristine form and for most others it is a compromise/ self created because it serves some purposes...More than the romantic love, maybe the other forms of love are more genuine and natural. I don't know if my expression is right; it is a jumble!

 

Different folks different strokes.
The first thought that came to mind when I read the title was "Ah jskls has written about tennis!"

It was only while going through the article I realized yesterday was Valentines day. This says all about how we observe V-day

What is love? Hmm... can be answered scientifically, or philosophically, but still elusive to capture the exact emotion in words.
We can only experience it, not describe it.
It is like seeing a beautiful flower, or a magnificent scenery, or watching the total solar eclipse live, or the wrenching pain.

We can still love a person even if the love is not reciprocated.

The fundamental seed of love is trust. The trust we place in that person.
Trust is the most difficult thing to build and the easiest to be destroyed.

When that trust is broken we cease to love.

My two cents

 

Jskls,

The self-definition of love in my life has transformed drastically since my college days of tender emotion to a coot's fulfilling emotion. I was as confused as everyone on what indicates and constitutes a smitten state. I have often looked back on that girl of sentimental and devoted and Karan Johar-styled outpoured love and how much she has been influenced in her conditioning about love more than her necessity for love. Do I need emotional reinforcement? No, I enjoy resolving my emotional crisis singularly like playing a Rubik's cube (no two players mangle the same cube). Do I fear solitude? No, I hate to indulge in documentaries with another person breathing around me. Do I crave stirring connects like 'empathy' and 'compassion' and 'gratification' from him? No, I might have to look them up in dictionary in an argument.

Despite all this, do I thrive in companionship? I do.

The self-definition of love is so personal that a lot struggle to form that self-definition through suitability (this suits me) over verifiability (this is recognized form of love).

During one of my India visits, I happened to hear this song:



It struck me, unlike the time-honored and impressionable bounds of being in love, to me, being in love is allowing the other person to transform me by saturating me with more of his qualities than my own. Your impressive traits have crept into me and displaced mine!

I don't harbor lofty definitions of love.

If the other person has affected and charmed to transform me radically from my constricted self, then I am in love! That's my uncomplicated affirmation of love.

Incidentally, the title of the serial (Kuch Pyar Rang Ke Aise Bhi), which bears the song, too resonates with my grasp of love. (There are all those vibrant colors of love and then my personalized shade of love.)

 

Hi Laks,

I believe my take on ‘Love’ has changed with time and age . I simply like to believe that Love is everything and sometimes nothing too . I try not to ponder too much into it rather prefer going with the flow .

Btw, isn’t 96 one hell of a movie now. I love the songs....and everything about it.
