Are you one of those people who always think that there is no one to love you or who live in hope of love for you from others. Imagine what would happen if the whole world started expecting love from others like this? There will be no love left because everyone will expect others to love them and will remain silent themselves. But in reality it is not so. There are many people in the world who love you without expecting anything for themselves.
Just take a look around you.
If you look inside your house, you will see your parents. Did he/she ever want anything from you? If your father had been a disciplinarian, he might have been a little strict, but your mothers would always untie your knot and give you the essence of life. There was never any condition in mother's love. It is love given without conditions and without any demands, at the center of which is the desire for your happiness, your health and your happy life.
If you look outside the family and explore your experiences, you will find many people who have given you unconditional love. Love is the greatest power for living beings. There is no creature that does not need love. Everyone brings this need in their genes. It is part of everyone's nature. Srishti has done this deliberately because Srishti has to keep moving forward. The need for love is so strong that if you have everything in your life – money, facilities, name, fame, health, but if love is not there, you will always have a feeling of incompleteness in your mind and you will remain worried. Every moment. You will be looking for love.
Love is the need of your existence. If there is love, sweetness dissolves in the feeling of existence. But there is a big difference between this love and the love prevalent in the world. This love depends on giving to others, not on demanding from others. This love recognizes the light of the soul and is attracted towards it. This love makes you make big sacrifices. Awakens the light of humanity within you. This love gives a sweet feeling of existence, but the interesting thing is that it also takes birth from the same sweet feeling of existence. The center of this love is not your happiness but the smile on the faces of others. This is the same love that Meera had for Krishna, as Radha had for Krishna. There is never boredom in this. It constantly sticks to your consciousness. You are not conscious in this.
You forget to do the calculations. Yesterday I spoke first, so today he should speak first, last time I bowed my head, so this time he should bow – don't think in this language. There is no room for your ego in this love. Ego is not visible and love runs away. Then you are left with the ego. Ego and love have a relationship of darkness and light – only one can exist at a time. Both cannot live together. Such love can never arise from the feeling of receiving. Cultivate a feeling of giving in your mind. The spirit of giving makes you a king at heart and fills your sense of existence with incomparable sweetness.
