Love: An Expression of your True Self!

Love is not just sentiment or feeling. But it is full of actions that you perform. One has to be selfless to nurture pure love. One should first try to understand others and only then expect to be understood by them. Remember, the expectation is the root cause of all problems. Learn to respect the relationship for what it is. Because love is like a seed; when cultivated, and nurtured gives rise to many other good qualities, such as happiness, tolerance and inner strength.

We may say there are different types of love like parental love, romantic love, love of neighbour, love of God etc. But they are just different expressions of the same love. And in the end, it is the same heart that receives love. The heart’s truest expression is unconditional love. Unconditional means, love someone without any effort to change someone’s behaviour, personality, and beliefs- rather accepting others with all shortcomings, limitations and weaknesses.

Many illnesses can be cured by love and compassion. It is the ultimate source of human happiness, and the need for them rests at the very core of our being. The largest of the human issues can be solved if discussed with humility and peace.

Indeed, Valentine’s Day is losing its aesthetic sense year by year as love is being commodified and is becoming a packaged love helping the growth of love-industry. The emotional connect is masked with gifts rendering the smoothness and grace of emotional connect.

Expressing love through gifts is definitely a good idea but creating a hype of it result in loss of its true value. The day is an expression of your feelings and love and that could be towards anyone, your partner, parents, siblings, or a mentor in your life. The idea is to convey the feeling.

Very fewer people understand that to love somebody less, it is important to love yourself first. There is a fine line between self-centred and self-loving. To make any relationship successful and happy, it is important to keep yourself happy and contended. That’s the very key of balanced living.

We must learn to love ourselves because sometimes we forget who we are. To love ourself is to take complete care of oneself — physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Only when you have a healthy mind and body, will you have the patience to listen and understand others.

Our strings are in the hands of God. Love for God is purest, in this love there is no selfishness and no greed. Divine love is the greatest gift in the world. Love for Almighty gives you permanent happiness, joy and peace. Divine love connects the soul with God. This love has no expectations, it is the purest form of this feeling.
