Guest guest Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Is love pleasure, is love merriment? No, love is longing constantly; love is persevering unwearedly; love is hoping patiently; love is willing surrender, love is regarding constantly the pleasure and displeasure of the beloved, for love is resignation to the will of the possessor of one's heart, it is love that teaches man : Thou not I Love that ends is the shadow of love; true love is without beginning or end Loveless is lifeless; loving is living To love is one thing and to own is another thing By loving one melts one's own heart; by possessing one loads the heart of another Possession is self assertion; loving is self -abnegation.The possessor must lose sooner or later the one he possesses; the lover gain in the end, if not beloved love itself. Love that depends on being answered by the beloved is lame, it does not stand on its own feet.Love that tries to possess the beloved is without arms, it can never hold. Love that does not regard the pleasure and displeasure of the beloved is blind. Love that is esacting and self-assertive is dead. The lover is blind to the faults of the one he loves and the hater is blind to the merits of the one he hates Peace will not come to a lover's heart so long as he will not become love itself.All things pertaining spiritual progress in life depend upon peace HAZRAT INAYAT KHAN Stay in the know.
