What is called Love...

What is called Love...

                      " The Power of love is so overwhelming that even in its skewed form as lust, it impells two people to come together in the name of love. 
 
                      Genuine love essentially commits itself to first giving or offering best from the heart with an attitude of pleasing the recipient.

                      

                       Lust wants to take from others, lust feeds on feverish praise, dominance and recognition, where as love maintains detachment from selfish gain.

                      Both gold and Iron sell in market as metals but a few grams of lustrous soft rare metal costs more than a tonne of its hard and dull counterpart (Iron), similarly selfless love doesnot lose its unprecedented value just because it is rarely experienced. 

                        

                        Pretentious words and vain promises are favourite disguises of lust, love on the other hand wears garb of spirituality, speak language of purity, walks path of humility, adopts code of tolerance, being willing to sacrifice everything for welfare of the beloved.

                     Gentle love is invincible, whereas brutal lust because of its inflamable nature burns to ashes all traces of compassion, reason and empathy, when lust turns to frustration all illusion, false attraction and attachment turns into retaliation in form of abuse, defamation and destruction. 

                  THERES NO TRACE OF LOVE ,until and unless one is able to descriminate between true love and deceptive lust, one is unable to understand that the ardent lover of God is fully prepared to undergo any kind of adversity birth after birth to Attain the Lotus Feet of the Lord."

Never neglect the little things

“However many holy words you read,However many you speak,What good will they do you If you do not act on upon them?” ~ Buddha

“Never neglect the little things. Never skimp on that extra effort, that additional few minutes, that soft word of praise or thanks, that delivery of the very best that you can do. It does not matter what others think, it is of prime importance, however, what you think about you. You can never do your best, which should always be your trademark, if you are cutting corners and shirking responsibilities. You are special. Act it. Never neglect the little things.” 

~ Og Mandino

“To build may have to be the slow and laborious task of years. To destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day.”

“Self-disciplined begins with the mastery of your thoughts. If you don't control what you think, you can't control what you do. Simply, self-discipline enables you to think first and act afterward.” Napoleon Hill

Love and Time

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love.

Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.

When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.

Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said,
"Richness, can you take me with you?"
Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."

Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please help me!"
"I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.

Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you."
"Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"

Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.

Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you." It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder,

Love asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who Helped me?"
"It was Time," Knowledge answered.
"Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?"
Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is."

Open your own door to Truth

 

"Contemplate the workings of this world, listen to the words of the wise, take all that is good as your own. With this as your base, open your own door to truth. Do not overlook the truth that is right before you. Study how water flows in a valley stream, smoothly and freely between the rocks. Also learn from holy books and wise people. Everything-even mountains, rivers, plants, and trees-should be your teacher." 

~ Mynzah Pleiadian

"You have the power to change your life. You have the power to change the world. You can take action, you can make a difference, and you can respond in a positive, creative way to any situation. You can do whatever must be done to live the life of your dreams. Yet in order to do so you must first believe you can. And you must let go of the limiting beliefs you use to hold yourself back." - Ralph Marston

TRUTH

"Truth does not pay homage to any society, modern or ancient. Society has to pay homage to truth, or die."~ Swami Vivekananda

Thought

What lies behind us
And what lies before us
Are tiny matters compared
To what lies within Us

                
"What Is Success"
                by Ralph Waldo Emerson
To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived;
This is to have succeeded.  


Hope    by Brian Quinn   When all about you is black with gloom,   And all you feel is pending doom.     When your bones are racked with grim despair -     When every breath is a gasp for air.    Keep on going, though you need to grope,    For around the bend is a ray of hope.      A ray of hope is perhaps all that's left,        As your will to live has been bereft.       You've lost it all, it's just no use!    You can end it all, you need no excuse.   But throw away that piece of rope,    And give yourself a chance of hope.    Just give yourself another day,        Brushing aside what your thoughts may say.   This is your life and you can make a new start,     By ignoring the brain - just follow the heart.      Taking baby steps in order to cope,    And minute by minute you'll build on your hope.    Build on your hope,. one day at a time,  Though the road be steep and hard to climb.      The hurts of the past - they should be dead.     The fears of the future are all in your head.      Just live in the present and refuse to mope      Your life will sparkle for you're living in hope.    =====
