Unconditional LOVE….

“LOVE is the best, when you give the most”.

But what is love???

Is it care the mother gives to a weeping child, or is it infatuation of a teenager or is it the odes that a lover recites for his sweetheart maybe it is the longing heart which awaits the touch, caress and the warmth of it loved one.

Is it limited to only the above …. And meant to be forgotten after a grand fiesta of one whole day, in a year???

There have been poems dedicated to the lovers, actually n number of them. But, has any one ever pondered over the fact that why poems haven’t been written to describe Love.

I agree love can’t be described it can only be felt and expressed by words and sometimes by actions. Love is not that type of love that we call Romance. It is much more higher than that because Romancing can be conditional. When conditions are applied it depletes and degrades the purity of love.

If love is unconditional then why is it reserved only for the lovers????

Can’t it be for people like you and me????

Also, love dsn’t mean to loose or to possess…. Because loosing and possessing are aided by attachment; which in a way demeans the purity of love.

It is only the unconditional love that is pure. Unconditional love that is what makes you truly generous and forgiving. Has the power to heal a broken heart or transform a person completely. It is one which takes away all our attachments from the maya, and that’s when our past karmas don’t affect you.

Love can only be felt and expressed. One has to go within to feel it. One has to be immersed in it to give it.
Therefore , love is innate , it brings you joy.
Joy shouldn’t be confused with happiness. As happiness is a temporary condition which is created by the situations or the factors around us. Whereas joy is never ending (niranand as they say in Sanskrit) . It is something which comes from within you and the best thing by which you can make others feel the depth of your love.

At this I am reminded of a beautiful couplet :

“ Lali mere lal ki , jith dekhun uth lal ,
Lali dekhan mein gayi , uth mein bhi ho gayi lal”.


Love is that joy which we get in giving something to someone without expectations, without reasons.
It is only possible to give unconditionally when one is immersed in love. First off, you have to beautified by its presence , surrounded by it , submerged in it.

Once the unconditional love is established within ourselves it’s only then that one can purely love and can say that ‘I AM IN LOVE’.
