Something on Love

I want to write something on Love. In beginning we love our mother and then our father. After that we love our siblings, because at toddler age our home is just like a whole world for us. When we grow some more we love our friends and relatives. And one step forward we love our country. And at last we love humanity. Here we can add that we can love animals and flowers too. If our parents give us some teaching we love God too.
But I say you to think some deep and then you will accept that you love only yourself. Whoever hurts you, you diminish your love towards him. Your love always wants a love in reply. You hesitate to say this because if you say this you may be called a selfish person by other persons.
Is it wrong to love a person with a selfish interest. Everybody will say that it is certainly very wrong to love a person with a selfish interest. But why? Because if you are loving a person with a selfish interest you are not loving him but you are loving yourself. And this is not love. This love may be converted in a repulsion at a time when we do not get love in response.
Then what is the solution. The solution is very simple. Love everybody with seeing God in his/her heart. And it is the secret of secrets that when we love a person with seeing God in his/her heart, He/she will give love in response.

  1. Dear Uncle,
    Exactly, everything you said about today's love is 100% true (as per my belief). we love other only when this other person give the same to us otherwise we just throw him/her out of our life like anything. But dont you think people are not ready enough to accept this "True love". I mean to say If you love someone unconditionally he/she start taking your unconditional love in some wrong way and finally, as a result of that, your identity is lost, not only in eyes of that person but also other persons around you......They in themselves are not ready to accept someone"s true love......
    But still, somewhere in me, I believe in what you said in your last paragraph. It is hard but may be I could do that someday.
