A lot like love

Every time we experience something different in a new relationship; never felt this before. After a while, somehow, we lose interest. The feeling simply evaporates and we are back to confusion.  How suddenly the feeling has changed inside us, we don’t know ourselves? What to say to the other one?

What the mind cannot analyze declares it as a fool’s pass time.

We feel comforted in telling ourselves that only fools follow the heart. Love is nothing but a play of hormones. Life is all about adjustments and compromise.

We spend our whole life pretending everything is ok. Oh yes, we are so good at that. Our life remains a bouquet of unresolved conflicts.  

The mind has no capacity to understand many things; how life suddenly appears and disappears? Who is managing every detail of each one’s life? What happens after death? How thoughts are formed? Why suddenly love fades away? 

Often, decisions are calculative, based on fear and benefits. The heart always tells us to follow love, irrespective of benefits, security, and comforts but we call it foolish and impractical.

The important question is, how can we love someone when we don’t have enough for ourselves?

It is like demanding help from a beggar. If he gives away a little of what he has, he suffers and if he does not, he still suffers, but in guilt. Whatever little love we have after pouring it all on one relationship, empties us and then we demand it back, rather more in return.

We all need to be rich in love like a king so that we can maintain our prosperity too. That is not easy.

The mind has no ability to understand love. Only we could understand, what ‘not’ love is.

Life could lead us to the truth if we accept that we are changing all the time. It is a natural process. The purpose behind this changing nature is very simple, to make us grow.

What is stability then? One knows when one is there. Like a river flows and flows till it meets the ocean. Then no confirmation is needed. Love is effortless, blissful, no suffering, no compromise, it just happens. In love, acceptance crosses all limits.

Our soul is only concerned with our growth and nothing else. Following it, one might not achieve anything materially but will surely lead us to something.
