The dictionary defines love as an intense feeling of affection that you feel for something or someone. Grammatically, the word can be used as a noun and a verb. ‘The love of a mother’ encapsulates the purest form of the emotion and the use of the word as a noun, while ‘I love ice-cream’ celebrates this emotion in action. Like other emotions, the definition of love changes from person to person. But unlike other emotions, love remains paradoxical in nature.
Let me explain this a little more. Love is a commonly used word in our everyday lives. We use it while referring to our favourite things – be it people, food, clothes, places or books and movies. We say we love something or someone without understanding the intensity of the emotion. However, when we fall in love, we gain a different perspective.
Love redefined
Quite often, we fall in love with people to learn our lessons. Love is just an illusion in such relationships. The only way to really understand the power of true love is with freedom and by letting the other person be. If you think you are in love, here are seven things you need to know about this powerful emotion:
- Love is not manipulation: If you find yourself manipulating the person you love, know that it is not coming from a place of love but of insecurity.
- You like a person because of their qualities, and you love a person in spite of their flaws. If you can accept your partner with their flaws and vice versa, you are indeed lucky to be in love with them.
- Relationships require give and take. You need to maintain a balance in a relationship. But love is not dependent on such parameters. That’s why maintaining relationships based on love can be difficult.
- Love is the biggest mirror. It helps you to see who you truly are. And it also shows who your partner truly is. Being in love brings with it huge learnings about your own past.
- There is no place for comparisons in love. Comparisons involve judgements.
- You lose the true essence of love as soon as you try to control it. Love is freedom and acceptance.
- Love definitely heals but only when it stands for what it is.
True love and only love is real
When you peel the layers of your own shadow self and accept yourself for what you are…
When you heal your own wounds…
When you balance yourself from within and hold yourself…
…only then the real vibration of love can attract you towards your match.
Love between two individuals is not just an attraction, be it physical, intellectual, emotional or sexual. It is a connection between two souls without any apparent reason. Rising in love is love. But that happens only when you fall in love. Falling makes you look at your wounds and heal them. Once that happens, you rise and reach the authentic vibration of love. To sum up, love is indeed a paradox – you have to fall in love to be able to rise in love.
The most misunderstood word is “love.” When we use the word “love” and associate with any living or non-living thing or being then it should be called “desire” not “love.” Love can happen only in itself, love can not be expressed, it can only be experienced on its own. Love is universal divine energy.
LOVE …… is a beautiful experience that keeps U elevated.
