hai all...now let us hear from a post grad from Univ of Houston...of course, my friend...
"I understand love more as a feeling. Again I am quoting here.
"When you love somebody, don't express it too much in words. Love is
like a seed. If you express it too much in words, it can't sprout in the
air outside.
There is a problem both in East and West with love. In the East they
don't express love at all. They have love, but expression is lacking. In
the West it is expressed too much in words. In either way it doesn't
grow deep and powerful and strong.
If a seed is buried very deep under the ground, it cannot sprout. If it
is above ground it also doesn't sprout. It needs to be somewhere in
between.
When you tell somebody, "Oh, I love you so much, I love you so much!" --
then all that you have spent is just words. Instead, just be. Don't
even tell the person you love them. You will see that love flows in your
action, in your look, in your life. Your love becomes very active.
A person who is fully aware -- one you may call an enlightened person --
will never say, "Oh, Larry, I love you so much!" This they will never
say. But in their very look, Larry can feel that love. In their very
breath, in their very presence, love simply permeates. Do you see what I
mean?
Use less words as far as love is concerned. When you hug someone or
bring them a flower, when you shake hands or you look at them, or even
speak a few words, that person can feel that authentic love in you. You
don't have to say, "Oh, I love you!" so much. See that? " Sri Sri Ravi
Shankar.
yes, Love can only be felt. Words are great. But mere words alone will
not express love. Words need to be followed by authenticity in thoughts
and actions and emotions and authenticity"
