Love

What is love, a friend asked.  'Does it exist?'

A difficult question……. Words have their limitations. Thinkers, philosophers, spiritual leaders, writers and common people, all have tried to answer it since time immemorial.  However none could contain the vastness of the words completely.

I quote below what I wrote in her blog:

Love....aha...the most mysterious of all words!!

No amount of words can describe it. But it IS there....all around us, in various forms and manifestations.

The earth has been going around the sun for millions of years....it is the love which compels it to do so. 

It is the love of the river for ocean which compells it to travel thousands of miles non stop...

I am sure the sun also loves us, otherwise why wud it nurture this magnificent earth and all its creatures not expecting anything from us.

I feel there is some Divine love which has set everything in motion...

And yes....we humans have also been endowed with this magical quality. How else do u think human race has survived for thousand of years.

ask a teenager who has just felt the first twinge of love. U might prefer to call it infatuation, but for him/her it is very real.

And then there is love of a parent for the child, specially a mother's, totally selfless and unconditional. This is the nearest one can get to true love.

None of us can survive without love. We need it all the time. Just think a bit deeply then u will realise.

These r just a few random examples of endless list.

And yes...I do realise that these r ramblings of a romantic fool.

To use a cliche....Lets RISE in love and not FALL in love. :)
