“Love”

I am afraid that now “Love” is supposed to be the attraction between two opposite sex. Go and surf the net you will find tons of material on this topic. Your toil will not be of much beneficial if you try to find “Love” in other relations.

“LOVE” is the most talk about term since the time memorial – since the creation of mankind (Adam). It existed since then; rather I must say even before, when there was nothing but the Creator; even the creation of the universe is because of LOVE – love of the creator for the creation. In the modern age there is also lot of talking about love, but I am afraid that now love is mostly supposed to result in sex and not beyond, whereas there are millions of couples who may not love each other, still they are married and increasing population.

Thinking of love with such a low value is not justified. If I am asked to define love, I would say “Sacrifice, Selflessness, not demanding, to submit to the will of beloved.” This is the aspect which fulfills the instinct of mankind as regard to physical as well as spiritual.  A mother is the most sacrificing person for her children. It may be said that it is in her instinct to love her children. Let’s take true friendship, there is no compulsion, but some times friends do sacrifice for each other. There are people who love their fellow being without any blood relationship. God creates the blood relations, but to us the relations we make are important. This is the aspect of love. It prolongs only when it is based on selflessness otherwise parting is there – “Someone loved leaves you.”
