True Love
Love or lust? Of course Love.
Read along to find out what is true love...
True Love
Yesterday my son asked me jokingly,
"What will you do if I die?"
I responded spontaneously-
"I too will die instantly."
My only thought was
"How will he manage on his own after death?
He will be soul, we humans. Even if he talks we would not hear him. He will get scared. I have to be by his side."
I meant what I said!
Later on I pondered, I was ready to die! Why?
Is it because he was in my womb for 9 months?
Was it love or attachment?
We do have a special attachment to blood relations.
That is why husbands care more for mother, brothers ,sisters than wife.
Wife too can never hate her family.
There is a relationship for which you are ready to sacrifice everything.
It is a heart matter,
Logic and reasoning doesn't work here.
Thoughts go beyond other person's good or bad nature.
There is pure selfless concern.
I am convinced this is true love not mere attachment.
True love is pure, everlasting, selfless and divine.
Lust is a desire,
Pure love is desireless.
Lust like any other desire,leaves you longing for more.
Mind is never satiated! Thirst forever unquenched!
Lust like any other desire,can make you sin.
It has indeed been the root cause of many evils.
Desires can be ended with a flip of mind!
That much control we should have on our mind!
Desires without attachment can never waiver mind,
Desireless mind is a tranquil mind.
