Because Love dies between what it actually is and what you think it should be
Why are we afraid to love?
We have tried to run from our love, but our souls crave this magic
Why love?
It is love alone, that leads to right action. What brings order in the world is to love and let love do what it will
— Jiddu Krishnamurti
If you think love is a duty:
When there is love, there is no duty. When you love your wife, you share everything with her-your property, your trouble, your anxiety, your joy. You do not dominate. You are not the man and she is not the woman to be used and thrown aside, a sort of breeding machine to carry on your name. When there is love, the word duty disappears.
— Jiddu Krishnamurti
What is love?
Love is the bridge between you and everything— Rumi
How to love?
Love has to be of the quality that gives freedom, not new chains for you; a love that gives you wings and supports you to fly as high as possible — Osho
Should we be stringent about the love we give?
Love more and you will be more;
Love less and you will be less;
You are always in proportion to your love;
The proportion of your love is the proportion of your being
— Osho
How to know when it is love or just Ego expressing itself?
Love is happy when it is able to give something
Ego is happy when it is able to take something
-Osho
So what is it to love??
It is to give completely your mind your heart, your whole being and not ask a thing in return, not put out a begging bowl to receive love.
Do you understand?
When there is that kind of love, is there anger? And why do we get angry when we love somebody with the ordinary so-called love? It is because we are not getting something we expect from that person,
Is it not?
I love my wife or husband, my son or daughter, but the moment they do something ‘wrong’ I get angry
Why?
— Jiddu Krishnamurti
Love dies between what it actually is and what you(the ego) think(s) it should be.
It requires going beyond Ego to love.
And knowing what love is NOT, could be the first step in understanding what love really could be.
If you need just another reason to see yourself in everything around you and to love unconditionally:
You and I, we are embers from the same fire, we are dust from the same star, we are echoes of the same — Love
Let us all open up to the divinity of love.
Let us all love.
