Understanding K’s teachings..

K:-

What is love without motive? Can there be love without any incentive, without wanting something for oneself out of love? Can there be love in which there is no sense of being wounded when love is not returned? If I offer you my friendship and you turn away, am I not hurt? Is that feeling of being hurt the outcome of friendship, of generosity, of sympathy? Surely, as long as I feel hurt, as long as there is fear, as long as I help you hoping that you may help me - which is called service - there is no love. If you understand this, the answer is there.

Myself:-

If you read carefully the above paragraph, you might have observed that the content is about what is not love; there is no concrete definition of love. But if you observe in the world everybody tries to explain what love is. So the tragedy is they are trying to put in to words something which can not be expressed through words. Whatever they are expressing is according to their own understanding and convenience. From those definitions I will take the one which comforts me. Obviously which is not love, so to find out love I must understand what not love is.

Through negation you have to come to positivity. That negation is intelligence.


Things to be taken care

I thought of bringing these few points to your mind,

1) One has to be light to oneself.
2) It's a tragedy if the person becomes more important than what he/she told.
