Love...!! ye kya hai.. kiss cheez ka naam hai?

I have written mostly about the truth an reality which we saw around us next to us among us an was kind enough to know about a human being an their nature. Taking me as a friend... The subject/Title her for blog interested me... writes about love but is cryptic.


What is love, Pyaar, Ishq, Mohabbat ? I think we have labeled many types of human desires and interactions as love.... but the basis of all these attractions we call love is possession.

We need to possess the person exclusively for ourselves. And when we have that desire strongly, we call it love.

I think that true love...or what should truly be called love is only "unconditional love". Love which believes only in giving. You give all so that you may the object of your love happy, irrespective of whether it makes you happy. The focus is on the person whom you love unconditionally. The focus of true love is to be happy in the happiness of the person you love!

I Would like to add 2 different way of love which we can see among our iner self ...
1) If you find someone else in love with you and you don’t love him/her, feel honored that love came and called at your door, but you refused the gift you can not return, do not take advantage, do not take pain....
2)
If you find yourself in love with one who does not love you be gentle with yourself. There is nothing wrong with you. Love just didn’t choose to rest in the other person’s heart...

Relationships..........................!!




Life is in community. Life is a communion, so don't try to escape from the world, and don't try to remain in a solitary life. Because the richness is in the community; you are enriched by the community, by your relationships. The more you are related to people, the more you are rich. A solitary person living in a Himalayan cave is very poor, impoverished -- because rivers of relationships don't flow in him. He becomes a desert.
Each time somebody looks into you, a river flows in. Each time somebody shakes a hand with you, an energy moves into you. Each time there is a contact, you gain something. When you drop out of all contacts, out of relationship, and you become a solitary monk in a Himalayan cave, you have almost committed suicide. You are only one percent alive. Just because you breathe, you are alive. This is a sort of death: you are living at the minimum, you are not living at all, you are living very grudgingly, you are living very reluctantly, you are living with a deep complaint that you don't want to live and you have been forced to live. You don't want this world at all: the rainbows and the trees and the stars and the people.... No, you don't want to relate with anybody.
When you don't want to relate with anybody, your contact with God is diminished, TERRIBLY diminished. When you come into relationship with a man, or with a tree, or with an animal, you are coming in contact with God in different forms. To be in the community is the only way to be really alive. Relationship is life, and relationship is beautiful.
