Love

Love is a term very loosely used, not really understood. Most of us say we love someone or something only because we benefit from it. We cry when it is gone because we lost that benefit.

What is Love?

Love is by default, it exists from within with no effort. Love is not something that has to be cultivated or manifest from an individual. Love is one’s desire to connect and nurture with compassion towards another Being. Loving someone does not benefit the lover but does benefit the one who is loved. To love someone, means to give of oneself from the Heart freely and willingly with no personal gain expected in return.

Love is automatically present and given to our environment if we don't block it and prevent it from being given. A Married Couple do love each other as described above in most cases. Love however does not keep a couple together. Love is what someone chooses to give another by not blocking it.
In a couple’s relationship, there is a strong motivation to offer each other Love. What keeps a Couple together is not love but the decision to be together.

Love is unconditional, it is from the Heart, we have to decide to do so. A selfish individual cannot experience real love. To love is to make yourself vulnerable to another, this requires trust.

Since Love is from the Heart, there is not much more to say. Love cannot be defined, I only wanted to clarify what love involves. It is easier when we can differentiate between real and false love. The reason we cry when we lose who we really love, has nothing to do with love. It has to do with a completely separate concept called Union. A Married couple is really two people becoming one person, we cry when separated because it is equivalent to losing a part of our self.

Unity will be discussed later.
