A 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 symbolizes Love."





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 they meet love...they try


to posses it, they demand, they expect... and just like the water spilling


out of your hand, love will retrieve from you .





For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature. 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 those who you love, and yet an


unconditional caring."





Passing thought... Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take;


but by the moments that take our breath away.....





Life is beautiful!!! Live it !!
