Love - The Basis of Life
>> Friday, March 19, 2010
We all like to love. The whole world exists in love. We come with love and go with love. In between we live with love. Love is the basis of everything.A well-known South Indian saint once said, "Not only do good things happen out of love, but even so-called bad, harsh, or violent things." War, for example. Why are there wars?
Someone "loved" his own country more. He wanted his country expanded-to rule over other countries. This is misplaced love. Love misplaced or used improperly can bring wars-can cause crimes.Even in the love between husband and wife. If love is misunderstood that start " loving" too much-they will end up in the hospital. There should be a limitation to love, and a proper understanding of it. Love should not end in difficulties.
If parents lover their children too much, they may not guide them properly. It is the duty of parents to use there experience for this. That is why children are handed over to them, given into there care. The responsibility of parents who really love their children is to show them the way. Children are inexperienced. They are still learning they must not be allowed the freedom to accumulate all kinds of difficulties.
"Free: children get stranded; they cannot get out of there confusion. Once they understand things, then you set them free. "We have given you some basic knowledge, now it is your duty, now you can carry on." Really loving parents guide their children as a duty. It should not be a blind love. It is our duty to love.
Much can be said about the sacred term of love. It should not be considered the lower physical sensual side alone. It has a great purpose. We cannot deny that physical and sensual side, but should not stop there. Love should go up and up-until you learn to to love your neighbor as your own self.
Let us make a resolution: I will not bring harm to anybody by using my love in an improper way. Let my love bring good, and good alone to everybody. Let us all march towards that universal love based on Self-realization. Let that be our resolution today.
