Indefinable Love

Indefinable Love... Duty without love makes us hard and dictatorial. With Love, we are softer, have a clearer, wider understanding. And: Accountable for what we do and who we are. Education without love creates efficient, obedient but heartless robots. With Love, Children know real intelligence, remain curious and grow into caring, Loving and Love-able Adults. Movement without Love makes us into well functioning machines. With Love, we are in balance and connected the Earth and Universe, because life is movement and Love and Joy are our essence. Justice without love makes us inhuman and untouchable. With Love, we have a broader and deeper awareness, understand the laws of the Universe and are Compassionate. And: “justice at it’s best is; Power correcting everything that stands against love”*. Love without trust is like an unfinished story We came into this World naturally trusting, but learned to be suspicious and fearful. When we begin to remember how trust feels and start to practice it, we naturally become more relaxed, courageous and spontaneous. Friendliness without love, is sweet like sugar and shallow like a puddle Love shows us that when we want to live in peace and harmony with all beings on this Earth, we need to practice courage, humility, patience, understanding, empathy and share all that we are and have. Responsibility without love makes us narrow and moralistic. With Love: we are flexible, yet present, open and we become mature. Knowledge without love makes us manipulative. With Love: we have the possibility to become wiser, because we are reflective and always curious. Truth without love makes us self-righteous. With Love, we stay curious and receptive for other Truths and life experiences and know that we will never stop growing and learning. Awareness without love makes us moralistic and judgmental. With Love: we are balanced and connected to the inner and outer World. Self-reflection without Love, brings self-judgement. With Love; a deeper understanding, growth and forgiveness. Love without Respect is like a desert. With Love: a Garden full of blossoming Flowers, tall strong trees and Fragrant Herbs – we and the way we love, are more mature and complete. Love without Dignity keeps us small and worthless. With Love: we expand, yet feel rooted and grow into our potential. Power without love makes us unscrupulous, reactionary and violent. With Love we are relaxed, centred and focused and know and not afraid of our inner strength. And: “Power at it’s best is; Love implementing the demands of justice”.* “Love without power is sentimental and anaemic”*. With Love: Wild, passionate and yet, sensitive and gentle. Ownership without love makes us afraid, isolated and over-protective. With Love, we are like open windows and our Life and Hearts become a well that is always replenished. Belief without love makes us violent and destructive. Belief is unnecessary, because when we learn with Love from everyday life and our experiences, we “know” our truth and are transparent and trustworthy. Religious dogma and morality without Love breeds guilt and shame. When we practice Love with Compassion and Empathy in our day to day life, we become Human beings. Love with conditions, makes us blind, deaf and judgemental. Unconditional Love is the only real “true” Love - for ourselves and others. And when we experience and taste it, “know” how good it feels, will want more – even if it seems hugely difficult to learn and is a lifelong practice. Life without love is ugly, completely unnatural and dangerous. Love is (inner) Beauty, balance and harmony, life, our birthright, Essence, where we came from, roots. And: the Wind under our Wings. © Sangeet Portals 2018. Inspired by a poem from Lao Tse. *These two sentences are from Martin Luther King.
