October 9, 2008

What is Love?Could be the most complicated thing to answer for the simplest happening of our lives.Love is, lets say, a situation when confronted with prompts one to GIVE......Give Something. What...is not important? But its enthuses an urge which says - GIVE. And soon as that call gets heeded, the apprehension mixed enthusiasm turns into a "sweet feeling" - THIS AFTERTASTE IS LOVE.

This feeling Sparks, Continues and Recedes...........a Phenomenon we all keep experiencing.Types:The moment we say GIVE, another word that involuntarily appears in our Mind is, TAKE Its a world of 'Give & Takes' and lets accept it.Here we start to talk about the types and the qualities of Love.....Is the Love 'deep' or 'superficial'....Is it 'conditional' or 'unconditional'....'With' or 'Without Expectations'......Will it be 'short-term' or 'long-term'......and so on. An one sentence answer is - the more we reduce the 'conditions/expectations' that we possibly can "give" or "take", the better are chances for the generated feeling to E X P A N D.Thus, theorem propounded is "Love" is inversely proportional to "conditions/expectations".Then what is that experience of Love......which

has an abundance of 'expectations getting fulfilled'?Surely, that is Love too.....an true experience indeed; instrumental in generating the beautiful feeling of "GRATITUDE"..............just that its on a "Shaky" ground.Friendship:.......probably is that relation which can be maintained with least conditions/expectations as compared to any other relationship - Which is why, its Special and its little amalgamation of friendliness into any relationship makes it more delightful....more flexible.Whom to Love?Love surely is

an "individualistic" feeling...yet it requires a second faculty. It could be a relative, place, object, GURU....or subtler thing like an idea, a concept, GOD, The GURU TATVA......practically Anything.Most

common objects that get eligible by us to be loved are........car, house, job and my No matter whether the object of Love is Gross or Subtle....yet our subjective experience confirms that, this feeling Sparks........Continues...............and Recedes...............WHY?That is the Real search of this Living. How to become eligible and derive ceaseless Love??? How to make Love Eternal???HAPPY VIJAYA DASHAMI TO ALL
