    The Maitreyi-Yajnavalkya dialogue includes a discussion of love and the essence of whom one loves, suggesting that love is a connection of the soul and the universal self (related to an individual):

    Lo, verily, not for love of a husband is a husband dear, but for the love of the soul a husband is dear.
    Not for the love of the wife is a wife dear, but for love of the soul a wife is dear.
    — Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 2.4.2–4

    Variant translation:

    Truly, it is not due to the love of a husband
    that a husband becomes dear,
    but due to the love of God
    that a husband becomes dear.

    Truly, it is not due to the love of a wife
    that a wife becomes dear,
    but due to the love of God
    that a wife becomes dear.

    Truly, it is not due to the love of all things
    that all things become dear,
    but due to the love of God
    that all things become dear.

    I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality. I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.

    If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen.

    -Henry David Thoreau

    Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.

    Kya Karega Pyar Woh – क्या करेगा प्यार वह 

    क्या करेगा प्यार वह भगवान को?
    Kya karega pyar woh bhagwan ko?
    What love can he give to God?

    क्या करेगा प्यार वह ईमान को ?
    Kya kareha pyar woh eemaan ko?
    What love can he give to Religion?

    जन्म लेकर गोद में इन्सान की
    Janm lekar godh mein insaan ki
    Being born in the lap of a human

    प्यार कर पाया न जो इन्सान को ।
    Pyar kar paaya na jo insaan ko
    He who cannot love the human kind

    There can be no love without free will 

    The fundamental need within every living being is to find pleasure. The ultimate pleasure is the pleasure of loving and of being loved. If we do not have that, then all the other sensory pleasures will never satisfy the heart. And the perfect love is the eternal love between the soul and God. But in order for love to be real and satisfying, the supreme absolute has created every living being with free will.

    If we do not have free will, then we are like robots. A robot can do incredible things but cannot have relationships, it cannot love. So this is a necessity for love to be true and satisfying—that there be free will. The quality of God is that He is swarat, fully independent. So as His parts and parcels, we also have our minute independence. In order to freely love we must have the freedom not to love. If someone puts a gun on your head and says, “Do what I say, please me according to my desire,” you would probably do it; but will you be really happy doing it? And will that person be really happy forcing you to do it? Not really! But if you had your free will—to reject that person or to want to please that person—that satisfies the heart of both, because there is love.

    So God has created everything and everyone in such a way that there can be perfect love. Thus he has given us the free will not to love Him, the free will to accept Him or to reject Him. That is His love.

    Radhanath Swami

    We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.

    Tolerance is a cheap, low-grade parody of love. Tolerance is not a great virtue to aspire to. Love is much tougher and harder.

    Connection, Jeff Brown, Love, , , Resonance, , Timelessness, Transformation   


    You don’t measure love in time. You measure love in transformation. Sometimes the longest connections yield very little growth, while the briefest encounters change everything. The heart doesn’t wear a watch – it is timeless. It doesn’t care how long you know someone. It doesn’t care if you had a 40 year anniversary if there is no juice in the connection. What the heart cares about is resonance. Resonance that opens it, resonance that enlivens it, resonance that calls it home. And when it finds it, the transformation begins.

    Lyrics : Ae Malik Tere Bande Hum 

    ऐ मालिक तेरे बन्दे हम – Ae Malik Tere Bande Hum
    Movie/Album: दो आँखें बारह हाथ (1957)
    Music By: वसंत देसाई
    Lyrics By: भरत व्यास

    ऐ मालिक तेरे बन्दे हम
    ऐसे हों हमारे करम
    नेकी पर चलें और बदी से टलें,
    ताकि हंसते हुए निकले दम

    बड़ा कमज़ोर है आदमी, अभी लाखों हैं इसमें कमी
    पर तू जो खड़ा, है दयालू बड़ा
    तेरी किरपा से धरती थमी

    दिया तूने हमें जब जनम
    तू ही झेलेगा हम सबके ग़म

    नेकी पर चलें और बदी से टलें,
    ताकि हंसते हुए निकले दम

     

    ये अंधेरा घना छा रहा, तेरा इंसान घबरा रहा
    हो रहा बेखबर, कुछ न आता नज़र
    सुख का सूरज छुपा जा रहा

    है तेरी रोशनी में जो दम
    तो अमावस को कर दे पूनम

    नेकी पर चलें और बदी से टलें,
    ताकि हंसते हुए निकले दम

    जब ज़ुल्मों का हो सामना, तब तू ही हमें थामना
    वो बुराई करें, हम भलाई भरें
    नहीं बदले की हो कामना

    बढ़ उठे प्यार का हर कदम
    और मिटे बैर का ये भरम

    नेकी पर चलें और बदी से टलें,
    ताकि हंसते हुए निकले दम

    This has been reproduced from Yahoo!Answers http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100128052403AArK5Ps Resolved Question The Mighty Jah : The love you withhold is the pain that you carry…? What does this mean to you? How would you describe this statement? Best Answer – Chosen by Voters Don H A long time ago I thought that love was something that you reserved for some special set of people that you had judged worthy of it. After a while I got to thinking about what Jesus had said about turning the other cheek and loving our neighbor. I put the two together and realized that he had made no exceptions in these statements. It became obvious to me that he intended that we exclude no one from the love that we are supposed to be giving. I started thinking about my idea of love and suddenly realized that I had not been loving anyone at all. I had simply been judging everyone and every thing. Judging someone worthy of love is not love, it is only judgment. I actually started to cry when I realized this. I saw just how much of my life I had wasted being judgmental, thinking of myself as a Christian, when I was actually doing just the opposite of what Jesus had asked us to do. I thought about the verse judge not lest ye be judged, and I understood it for the first time. I realized that I have a lot of catching up to do. So many opportunities were wasted. I now try to apply the love that I have for the world in a universal way like Jesus asks us to do. If I start to feel afraid and think that I see someone that I should not love because of something I have thought or heard I try to catch my mistake as soon as possible. I tell myself that I have forgot the truth and have fallen for the same old trick that had cost me so many opportunities to be loving in the past. The horror of this realization is often all that is necessary to bring me back to my senses and make me drop the judgmental nonsense I was thinking. I still have a lot to learn about love, but at least I’m making progress. Love and blessings Your brother Don
