A Reflection On Love by amazonia(m): 1:45am On Feb 02, 2011
Simple Love.

Not the complexity of sexual love.
Not the love of god.

Just Love.
Being tender, really gentle in one's whole approach to all things.
Being sensitive, to have tender feeling for things.
To see an animal suffering and do something about it.
To remove a stone from the road because bare feet walk there.
To pick a nail on the road because someones tyres might get puncture.
To feel for people, animals birds,flowers,trees. Not because they're yours.
But, just because you are awake to the extraordinary beauty of things.

The moment you are deeply sensitive, you naturally do not hurt people or things.
There is spontaneous desire not to distroy things. This is real respect. Love.
To love is the most important thing in life.

               What Do I Mean by Love?

When you love someone because that person love you in return?
This is not love.

When you promptly jump up when an elder comes into the room?
This is not respect, but fear.

To love is to have that extraordinary feeling of affection without asking anything in return.
You may be very smart, achieve high positions, but if you have not this sensitivity, this
feelings of simple love, your heart will be empty.
It is very important for the heart to be filled with sense of affection, then we wont destroy,
and won't be ruthless, and there won't be wars any more.
Then, we will be happy, for in this happiness itself is God.


How is this Love to come into being;

Love must begin with the educators (teacher/parents).
If besides given information about other things,the teacher/parent has his/her
feeling of love in the heart and talks about it , if the mentor (teacher/parents)
spontaneously removes the stones or litters from the road, and does not allow
the servant to do all the dirty jobs. And if in conversation, in work, in play,
when he eats, when he/she is by you or by him/her self, he/she feel this strange thing
and point it out to you often, then you also will know what is LOVE.

You may have a clear skin, a nice face, you may wear a lovely attire, or be a
great athlete, but without love in your heart, you are an ugly human being.
And ugly beyond measure.
When you love, wether your face is homely or beautiful ,it has radiance.
To love is the greatest thing in life. It is very important to talk about love.
To feel it.To nourish it, to treasure it, otherwise it soon dissipates, for the
world is a very brutal place.
               The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary thing called
Love, and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it , you will discover that
for you the world is transformed.

Even in time of conflicts and wars, the love of the country, selves, and comrades
propell fighters to dig deeper for success. So this love is a very serious
energy for the species. That must be cultivated.
