Great. Now let me make a U-turn. We are talking about love.

I think in speaking of love we generally refer to relationships. Love has many pit falls.

Uff. Of all the definitions at our disposal, you ask us to define love (assuming you were referring to 'romantic love', I'll stick to the same and leave parent-offspring and other forms of platonic love out of this post).

But yes, I'm a strong believer in love. Not the Romeo-Juliet or Heer-Ranjha applesauce (no offense to anybody), but the kind of love that helps others be the grandest expression of who they are and in doing so, finds its highest expression: a love that liberates and accepts, not a love that possesses and makes demands. Love is free-flowing and a state of being, not a state of doing.

Love lets go if it must, but is always there when needed. At the same time, loving someone does not equate to being a sacrificial lamb or a doormat- that to me is co-dependency and martyrdom, not love. I believe you can't truly love someone else unless you love yourself deeply, and I'm not talking about superficial self-love here. A healthy relationship is one in which you don't ever worry about your 'me-ness' dissolving into an amorphous state of 'us-ness'. Sorry if it makes no sense, but then again love isn't something words can do justice to, IMO.

Beyond the physical, mental and emotional intimacy in a relationship, it's important that the couple are best friends and partake in transcendental love. I can't stress that enough- because that's where both enjoy being sovereign individuals, yet remain together to draw the strengths out of each other. Almost all relationships start out with attraction or infatuation, followed by adjustment ('human' love), but not many reach the stages of maturity and acceptance (spiritual love). For that, you need to embrace your partner's quirks, not try to change them.

I'm actually put off by my post now. If you're more into Autotuned monstrosities and Dancing Simbus, here's love at a glance:

Love is full of energeh,
Love is posi-tiviteh
We don't need nega-tiviteh
Love to feel humanity.

What is the secret of LOVE.
We can sow the seeds of love and harvest rich rewards. It can be cultivated and grown.
Love is wealth and love is magic. It cures all ailments and protects us.
Love is the ultimate and compassion is divine.

When you do/give something to others without any expectation, and vic-e-versa should be counted as love, rest all is adjustment and compromises as a part of deal.

Ur task is not to seek for love..but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it - r

😳You will never know the meaning of LOVE until you start LOVING someone !😆

We see Love as a feeling or an emotion, but Love is much more than that. Love is that which liberates us from ignorance and rebirth. "Love is God" some say and yes it is true.
Basically we are all Energy that is associated with the Body. Love is the Higest Positive Energy and a Unifying Force. It is inseparable though it seem to appear in pockets.
Yes Love is One.
