Guest guest Posted March 2, 2002 Report Share Posted March 2, 2002 I'm Brian, and i would like to share something related to the message of 'nature of love' from the vivekenanda. I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me. Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand with a little water and held it before me, and said this: You see this water carefully contained on my hand? it simbolises Love. As long as you keep your hand careingly open and allow it to remain there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to close your fingers around it and try to posses it, it will spill through the first cracks it finds. This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love... they try to posses it, they demand, they expect... and just like the water spilling out of your hand, Love will retreive from you. For love is ment to be free, you can not change it's nature. If you there are people you love, allow them to be free beings. Give and don't expect. advise, but dont order. ask, but never demand. It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take life times to truelly practice. it is the secret to true Love. To truelly practice it, you must sincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet an unconditional careing. ....Hope you all liked it. and next time when you see water on your hand, please try to fold your fingers over it and see that it escapes from you... don't wait to loose someone you love. Have a nice day today. Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
