What is love for me?

I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me. Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand with some water and held it before me, and said this: "You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love.

" This was how I saw it: As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to close your fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spill through the first cracks it finds.

This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love ... they try to posses it, they demand, they expect ... and just like the water spilling out of your hand, love will retrieve from you. For love is meant to be free,

you can not change its nature.

If there are people you love, allow them to be free beings.

Give and don't expect.

Advise, but don't order.

Ask, but never demand.

It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice.

It is the secret to true love.To truly practice it, you must sincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet an unconditional caring."

- By Swami Vivekanand.




ok that sounds philosophical but still what's love (Practically)?

Is it the heart missing beat at his sight, or is it the smile that becomes difficult to disguise when she/he looks your way. Is it the constant restlessness that one experiences, or is it in the peace knowing that she/he is there? Is it in the first kiss or wishes that time stood still..
This is not love; this is something like it....a beginning perhaps.

Is it the constant jealousy, a desire to posses and be possessed or a feeling of constant need, driven primarily for your own sense of completion? A feeling where insecurity becomes so significant that it demands to compromise on the basic value system..

No, this is definitely not love, and if you see these signs, then Run....yes Run away from it.

Love begins with integrity and that too first and foremost with oneself.

You can only love someone else with utmost sincerity if you are peace with yourself. Don't get into love thinking it will mend you if you are broken, it can heal you sometimes, but never seek outside for what you lack within.

Love is giving yourself to someone with an expectation that they will take care and respect you in ways you do it for yourself.

To Love means to live with utmost and complete honesty.

Loves means to Liberate in its truest sense.


Above all, Love is not blind. It has eyes, which are called friendship and trust. If either one gets hurt, love gets damaged.


The most difficult and exciting step which everyone has faced through countless centuries is confessing this beautiful feeling. Yes, fear of rejection/loss will overpower you, but here I say, no matter what and yes, no matter what happens always confess.
If you really love someone, the most honest thing to do is to confess, don't worry what will happen or how things will go, just confess.
Yes, it takes lots of guts and courage, but sometimes you just have to do what one has to do.


So, what about true love, if there is such a kind?

True love is love, love is love, simplest form, love never leaves, love stays...it grows and with time it matures.

Now you will ask, what does love demands?

Love means giving space; it allows you to be you, you to grow, like a line in a song said, if you bridle the horses, its spirit dies. Love is to set free, Love is Friendship, love is Peace and Love is the Highest and Purest Commitment of Body and Soul.

Love can never be casual and love can never be cheap. Fast entries and fast exits are just means of degrading an already low self-esteem.

Does, love happen more than once?

Yes, it does.
Romantic movies which says that true loves comes once in a lifetime are just good dialogues in what possibly could have been bad movies.

Does love at first sight exist?

Love takes time, what happens at first sight is unbeatable chemistry at play. You may get totally smitten, but be patient. The madness and the craziness are very real, but it last as long as it can...to make a serious relationship, friendship is required.

And while following the course of love, if you get hurt, trust me it is OK, yes it is and everything will be OK. All one need to do is to pick up the pieces. Moving on is a very difficult task and here time will only help, but eventually everything and everyone gets healed.


Like someone said, Where there is great love, there are miracles. It is capable of giving courage even to the most weakest of soul.Love also means to take risk.

In the end loves makes life worth living. So by all means do LOVE :)

Passing thought ... Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take; but by the moments that take our breath away.
