Ever felt what is Love? Read on the below story... In a classroom there were several kids, when one of them asked the teacher: - Teacher, what is LOVE?The teacher felt the kid deserved the best answer she could give to that intelligent question. Since it was almost time for a break, she asked every student to go around the school and come back with something that would bring the feeling of love. The kids rushed out the classroom, and when they came back the teacher said:- So, I want everybody to show what you brought to the whole class. The first kid said:- I brought this FLOWER, isn't it beautiful?The second kid said: - I brought this BUTTERFLY. Look at these colorful wings, I am gonna put it in my collection!The third kid said: - I brought this YOUNG BIRD. It had fallen with another one from the nest. Isn't it cute?And the kids were showing what they brought. After almost everybody had showed their discoveries, the teacher noticed that there was a kid who had been quiet all the time. She was ashamed because she had not brought anything. The teacher went to her and asked: - My dear, why haven't you brought anything?She then answered in an innocent voice:- I am sorry teacher. I saw the FLOWER, and felt its perfume. I was going to take it, but I preferred to leave it so its perfume would last longer and others could feel it. I also saw the BUTTERFLY, soft, colorful. She seemed so happy that I did not want to disturb it. I also saw the YOUNG BIRD that had fallen between the leafs, but as I climbed the tree, I noticed the said look of it's mother, so I decided to return it to the nest. Therefore, I only bring with me: the perfume of the flower, the feeling of liberty of the butterfly and the gratefulness of the look of the little bird's mother... The teacher thanked the young kid and gave her an A, because she was the only one who realized that we can only bring LOVE in our hearts... Love can only be felt...not possessed, If you try to possess it for your pleasure, then love can never be " LOVE " !!! -- Confidence without HUMILITY is arrogance! -- Confidence without HUMILITY is arrogance! -- http://mukulchaudhri.blogspot.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 What is love? " When mystics use the word love, they use it very carefully -- in the deeply spiritual sense, where to love is to know; to love is to act. If you really love, from the depths of your Consciousness, that love gives you a native wisdom. You perceive the needs of others intuitively and clearly, with detachment from any personal desires; and you know how to act creatively to meet those needs, dexterously surmounting any obstacle that comes in the way. Such is the immense, driving power of love. " -- Eknath Easwaran " Therefore, when I say that ‘I love,’ it is not I who love, but in reality Love who acts through me. Love is not so much something I do as something that I am. Love is not a doing but a state of being - a relatedness, a connectedness to another mortal, an identification with her or him that simply flows within me and through me, independent of my intentions or my efforts. " -- A. " When you are aware that you are the force that is Life, anything is possible. Miracles happen all the time, because those miracles are performed by the heart. The heart is in direct communion with the human soul, and when the heart speaks, even with the resistance of the head, something inside you changes; your heart opens another heart, and true love is possible.
