Cause of Suffering....Attachment --> Real, True Love.

[Guest guest]

Dear Manoshi:

 

You have written well.

 

All:

 

I want to add some more to what Manoshi has written and focus on the

words "Attachment", "Detachment", "True Love".

 

he real question is : How do I love another person without forming

an attachment to him? I have tried to answer this through my

experiences. Hope it makes some sense.

 

If you give up attachment, you will not have to make an effort to

love, because very naturally you will experience the love that

always exists within you. It is attachment which obscures that real

love. As soon as you give up attachment, pure love will reveal

itself to you. One should become detached from others and attach to

your own SELF. Then the independent love of the SELF will reveal

itself to you.

 

More... Someone tries to love some one else... This is what

seperates that someone from someone else..If a person wants to love

someone but thinks that person is seperate from him, he cannot love

that person. When the love of the SELF arises through SELF and

meditation, there is a realization that the same love is in

everything and everyone. Whoever truly loves others loves them with

the awareness that they are his own SELF. Even if he loves another

person, he loves that person for his own sake because it is he who

feels that love. Truly speaking, he loves his OWN SELF. So to love

someone love your own SELF. That is the only way that persons love

will REACH YOU. Mark it!!!! That is the only WAY.

 

This is true love. If a person is filled with love, then he can see

his beloved anywhere. Majnu had become so engrossed in love that he

no longer needed an external Laila. Everything had become Laila for

him, When he was eating food was Laila, drinking --> water was

Laila.

 

The power of real love is very great. Because Majnu was in such a

state of love, Laila began to feel that love too.

 

MOral: If we want to find GOD, love him madly; if you want to

experience the SELF, love it madly. Lose yourself in LOVE. Do not

hold yourself back. Remember SELF is GOD.

 

So if someone wants to love somone else, they should love

themeselves. That is the only way their love will reach them. That

is the only way!! OR is it not?

 

VEDANTA says that you should continuously focus the love within YOU

on your own inner SELF and find your happiness, your JOY, right

within your own heart, not in someone else. Otherwise you project

the love within YOU onto another individual and think that your own

happiness and joy are coming from that individual.

 

Experience the love within your heart!!!

 

Lose yourself in LOVE.

 

Aum Shanti Shanti Shanti.

I make but I cannot resist sharing these thoughts of mine with you

all , though I dont think I am writing anything new or may be I am

not even capable of writing on this topic...

someone or something, staying in this world? Difficult..eh? This

means that we are bound to suffer.So, there can be just two ways--

either do not get attached to anything OR accept the pain.

which later leads to pain.

fall in to any kind of attchment ..somewhere inside we know that

this attachment is going to give us pain..but then we r humanbeings

afterall.

> Not everyone can be Gautam Buddha...so what do we do...try to keep

a control over our minds..not to get attached deeply with anyone or

anything so that when we lose it or are hurt we dont feel the

pain...? Is it possible?
