Love and Be Love

Love and Be Love

I read it on Facebook I guess some time back - Whats the difference between ' Liking' and 'Love'?  And the given answer was - When you pluck your favourite flower, you like the flower and when you water the plant of your favourite flower, you love it.

Bang on!

Liking, lust, infatuation are associated with the feelings of possession, power over possessed object/person but 'Love' is associated with the 'tendency to give and just give'. Love needs compromises, sacrifices. And people in love dont mind offering that. They love to compromise and sacrifice for the person/object they love. I have seen people who claim that they love but they still fight with each other constantly on small small issues resulting from 'Ego'. And I have also seen those people who just dont fight... I mean it. They just dont fight ( Here I am talking about Ego-driven fights). Dont they possess Ego? They definitely possess it but they give more importance to the relationship which they are connected by. Oh please, dont confuse this statement of mine with 'having no Self -respect.' 'Ego' and 'Self-respect' are two different things.

When I think about 'Love', it is 'The Philosophy of life' and 'The ultimate power' to me... Love can conquer anything. Really anything. The only requirement is that you should be loving enough. Love provides you answer for every question you have. It heals every wound you have. It takes you toward light from darkness and ignorance. Its a magic. Just believe in it and feel the heaven... Love just love... Be Love and see the magic.

Here I am not talking about Person-centric love. I am talking about Universal Love. Love anything you come across. Love the people you are surrounded by, love the computer you work on, love the books you read, love the food you eat, love the flowers which you smell, love the nation you belong to, love the world you live in, love the nature you are product of... Dont ask. Just love... Be Love and see the miracles...

Yeh dil bole,"no extra!"

I have seen one advertisement where a water tap is fixed in village and it gets opened one morning. That's a dessert area where one man was walking and he sees water flowing on the white marbles of isolated bathroom. He comes and quenches his thirst. Another woman see him drinking water and she also comes to drink water. And like this entire village arrives there, quenches its thirst, fills the vessels and still the water is not stopping. And then voice over comes conveying a message that - the entire village quenches its thirst in the same amount of water used by urban person to take a bath... And it was one more 'aha' moment for me. I had read in one philosophical book, we should never overdo. I have heard my parents and grandparents saying that we should never overdo. Now what do I mean by 'overdoing'? In the above mentioned example, it's clear what is 'overdoing'. Consuming more than what is required is overdoing. Demanding more than what you actua...

Purpose...

Sometimes people wonder, what is the purpose of their life, why have they come on this earth, what their life is made for... I won't be surprised at all, if you say that you are also one of them. No worries. This question walks through everyone's mind at least once in their life. Some people happen to ask this question early in their life, some ask later in their life. It doesn't make any difference until and unless you get the correct, to be precise, the satisfactory answer.  You have whole right to be confused for some time or even longer time. But you have no right to be there forever. Remember, the purpose of your life and your chosen career may not go hand in hand, seemingly. But believe me, everything is connected at the end. Currently in your life (education, career, personal or social relationships etc.), perhaps you are  doing something by looking at which others might be feeling - what is s/he doing? But trust me, if you are clear with your goal, if you are capa...

"India is my country"

"India is my country. All Indians are my brothers and sisters " Remember we saying this everyday in our schooldays? Of course you remember. People belonging to various religions, castes, sub casts, socioeconomic strata live in India. Consequently our languages are also different. It's a country where all live with love and peace though sometimes we experience conflict resulting from this diversity. My nationalism says that we should respect every religion, every caste in India. Not only I but I think most of us, we believe in this. But do we all follow this? Recently I came across one person who was requested to greet by saying 'Namaste' or 'Namaskar' while taking one video for some official work. But he was not ready to say 'Namste' or 'Namaskar'. While being asked about this, he said "Sir didn't you look at the 'Religion' in my form? But the same person was ready to say 'Hello'. I found it strange. He was ready...
