NICE ARTICLE ABOUT LOVE-by Swami Vivekananda

NICE ARTICLE ABOUT LOVE-by Swami Vivekananda

I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me.Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool,
she filled the palm of her hand with some water and held it before me,and
said this: "You see this water carefully contained on my hand?It symbolizesLove." This was how I saw it:
As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will always be there.However, if you attempt to close your fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spill through the first cracks it finds.

This is the greatest mistake that people do when theymeet love...they try to posses it,
they demand, they expect...

andjust like the water spilling out of your hand,love will retrieve from you.

For love is meant to be free, you cannot change itsnature. If there are people you love,allow them to be free beings.Give and don't expect.Advise, but don't order.
Ask, but never demand.It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice.

It is the secret to true love.To truly practice it,you must sincerely feel no expectations from thosewhom you love,and

yet an unconditional caring."Passing thought... Life is not measured by the number of breaths wetake;but by the moments that take our breath away..... Life is beautiful!!! Live it !!!
