Being loved is the strongest and most valid emotion mainly experienced through human heart in large, but also in every organisms created by The Supreme. It is rightly said – Love conquers all. You may be in love with another fellow being, a child, Natural wonders, the Creator, anyone or anything. But first of all, love has to be your own pride possession.

Lesson No. 1. Charity begins at Home

I could understand that one would never be able to render love, unless and until, the individual is in true love with his/her own self. We are God’s chosen desire and ultimate creation in HIS own true image, and therefore it is the Almighty who dwells alone in the proximity of our heart. All He looks for is a heart full of love. When you’re in love with your own self, you discover the lover within, who is undisputedly your soul mate. In reality, this is your own soul. Love yourself first, don’t let your own self starve for this utmost bliss.

 

 


Lesson No. 2. You are in Love for Sure! 

Unconditional Love

Remember when you have really been in love, and surely none has been deprived of this beautiful bliss, then you would have known how suddenly your ego disappears, the world seems like a better place to live in, you are more happy as well as more grateful and you are actually full of life, It is only your beloved who resides in your thoughts and all you want is how you can make her/him even happier.

Lesson No. 3. Love is not Blind, We Are


There is this touching story I would like to share. While a man was polishing his new car, his four year old son picked stone & scratched lines on the side of the car. In anger, the man took the child’s hand & hit it many times, not realizing he was using a wrench. At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers due to multiple fractures. When the child saw his father…. with painful eyes he asked ‘Dad when will my fingers grow back?’ The man was so hurt and speechless. He went back to car and kicked it a lot of times. Confounded by his own actions, sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches, child had written ‘LOVE YOU DAD’. Isn’t the same happening in the world around us? People are being used, and material things are being loved. So erroneous, it has to be the other way round.

 

 


Lesson No. 4. Get the Message Right

If you have known true love, it is above all this. It is not provisional, rather evades all bindings of time. Love is th
e supreme message of God to all humanity, which speaks of his very existence. Have you noticed the feat of a sunflower? See how it comes alive when the sun does, and becomes rather succumbed at every dusk. The same sunflower is alive and beaming when the sun is around, also shrivels for as much time when there is no sun. This is Nature’s message to us about the rectitude of true love.

Lesson No. 5. The Sun and the Moon


Examples of true love are ample in Nature, all it calls for is to open your eyes to the bliss bestowed upon us by Mother Nature. Mesmerize yourself on the relative proximity between the sun and the moon. While the sun shines in far-off lands, it is dark of the night for us. But the moon is there shining right there in the sky. Does it not convey another illustration of love? Presence of moon, as it shines in its might, coveys that the Sun is there conferring love and devotion in the form of light which keeps them connected. And in its turn, the moon does not keep the entire luminosity to itself, but passes it on to the Earth. Love is not love if you hold on to it. Let it pass on , let it flow. Someone needs it, love is the priceless treasure that heals unobserved wounds.

 

Lesson No. 6. Love Conveys in Innocence

When my daughter was hardly three years of age, I still remember that she had conveyed to me then – Mamma, I wish you were not a doctor. At that time I was rather busy in establishing my clinical practice, although was taken all ears to these naïve words of my child. But I wanted her to tell me. I asked her then, “But my dear, what would I be then, if not a doctor. There is hardly any other profession I can think of.” The child had whispered to me then, “Only Mamma! ” I was touched. Her simple words communicated a world of love to me. How a child needs her mother ! It was then I had decided to give a back-seat to my profession as a doctor, and spend more and more time with my child. Years later, now, I can read the message of God in those words of love uttered to me then, when now other than seeing to patients, I am happy being an author and speaker creating awareness and offering the goodness and virtues of holistic wellness to the world.

Lesson No. 7. Beautiful Article about Love !

This is an article by Swami Vivekananda. I Once Had A Friend Who Grew To Be Very Close To Me. Once When We Were Sitting By The edge Of A Swimming Pool, She Filled The Palm Of Her Hand With Some Water And Held It Before Me, And Said This: “You See This Water Carefully Contained on my Hand?.. It symbolizes Love ! “This Was How I Saw It: As Long As You Keep Your Hand Sparingly Open And Allow It To Remain There, It Will Always Be There. However, If You Attempt To Close Your Fingers Round 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 Retrieve From You . For Love Is Meant To Be Free, You Cannot Change Its Nature.
So it is understandable. That love cannot be caged, cannot be ordered or demanded. All this only exterminates true love. You can love a flower as long as you do not pluck it. Once plucked, you have interfered with the bliss the flower was enjoying as well as giving. The flower has lost its life, and also a true example of love has been gone forever.

 

Lesson No. 8. Love Lives in Freedom

Unconditional Love

If you love someone, let him/her be free. Love is .. that gives, but does not expect in return. Love advices, but does not order and also love might ask, but never would it demand. True love is surrendered. Yet, it is as fragile as it is un-conditional. In an art exhibition, there was this poster of a child chasing a butterfly. I still remember the words inscribed on the wooden board.
‘ If you love something, set it free. If it comes back to you, it is yours. If it doesn’t, It never was’. 
If you love someone from your heart, then there can be no space in your life for expectations. Love will live, provided you can offer unconditional compassion.

Lesson No. 9. Love needs No Broadcasting

This is a recent incident. My mobile drenched in the rains was noticeably lifeless. Just before going to sleep, I called my son for his help. I told him, my problem is that I have to listen to the recorded meditation early in the morning and my mobile is not working at all. He kept trying for some time, but without much success. I told him then, that it was all right then and he could go to sleep. I could afford to miss the meditation session for a day. But, he wouldn’t listen and kept trying. In some time, he could transfer meditation recording of one hour into his own mobile. I was almost asleep by then. He left his mobile with me and told me that now I would not have to miss my daily meditation. It was only on the next day that I came to know, that he had to delete all his favourite songs from his own mobile, so as to create space for my meditation composition.

 

This is love. Undemanding, non-broadcasting and also not expecting. Love speaks in unsaid words, and conveys in simplicity.

 

 

Lesson No. 10. How Love Dies

This is another story about Love and Ego. Please read it carefully. Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings lived together . One day there was a storm in the sea and the island was about to get drowned. Every feeling was scared but Love made a boat to escape. Every feeling boarded the boat . Only one feeling was left. Love got down to see who it was.. It was Ego ! Love tried and tried but ego wasn’t moving also the water was rising. Every one asked love to leave him and come in the boat, but love was made to love. At last all the feelings escape and Love dies with ego on the island.. Love Dies because of Ego.

 

Easy as that. want to starve your love, then feed your ego. But we all want it the other way. Do we not?
