Love is not possessive


A truly creative person is one who breathes
love every moment of his life.
By love I mean a sensitive heart and not a sentimental heart.
A sensitive heart experiences 'what is' with awe;
a sentimental person reacts to 'what is'

Love is the only Saviour in this world.
Love unites and hate divides.
Society has witnessed life based on likes and dislikes,
on greed and hate and hence loveless lives.
From the foundation of love,
your likes and dislikes will become preferences,
your greed will transform into a commitment to excel,
and your hate will be transformed into concerns.
People have preached about love
but the undercurrent has been hate.
A wise man has to be created with a new heart.
A heart without love is on the path of destruction.

If your state of being is love then your struggles
will also be sacred, or there will be no struggles at all.
If you are a lover of dogs then the tricks
of the dogs become an act of joy.
We talk of love but we are not in a state of love.
We only pretend to be in love.
Our pretensions become better and manipulative.
A deceptive front starts to build in us.
A deceptive and pretentious self is noisy and restless.
You try to eliminate this restlessness
by wrong means and then you throw the garbage
of this restlessness on the other.
This process makes relationships very messy.

When your state of being is love,
then there is no manipulative game.
You are silent and restful.
This silence you shower on the partner and therefore,
more than the intimacy,
there is an exchange of silence.
This quality of relationship is fulfilling.

Our love life is not love but desires masquerading as love.
Love makes no conditions.
Love never demands,
"Fulfil my expectations then I will love you."
But most of our love life is like that.

Because of the demand,
our relationships are like beggars begging from the other.
If two beggars meet beggary is going to increase.
In a state of love you will not be a beggar but a giver.
Giving comes from love that has no conditions.
The joy of giving is bigger than the petty logic of 'if' and 'but'.

When one is silent in the deepest core of one's being,
love arises like a fragrance.
Such love is unconditional;
like the fragrance of the flower
it does not create conditions regarding
whom to give fragrance to and whom not to give.
In this space you give love รข€" and the person
concerned is not obliged.
You will feel grateful that there
is someone who is receiving your love.

The whole economics of love is that
you become richer when you give love.
