Quote on self awareness

When one's own true nature is known, then there is being without beginning and end. It is unbroken awareness bliss.


Only when the ever-present Consciousness is realized will it be permanent.


There is only one state, that is consciousness, or awareness or existence.


Knowing the Self, God is known. In fact, God is none other than Self.


Sri Ramana Maharshi

Thursday, August 9, 2007

grace of guru-selfrealization

God never acts. He just is.


It is very hard to realize one's true state or nature without the grace of the guru.

God or guru never forsakes the devotee who has surrendered himself.

The guru does not bring about Self-realization. He simply removes the obstacles to it.

Individuality is the illusion that we are not identical with God. When the illusion is dispelled, what remains is God.

Realization of the Self is realization of God. It is not an experience of God, rather, it is an understanding that one is God.

Silence is the best, the most potent initiation. Silent initiation changes the heart of all.

Sri Ramana Maharshi

Physical body, self surrender and karma

Whatever this body is to do and whatever experiences it is to pass through was already decided when it came into existence.

He who is forgetful of the Self, mistaking the physical body for it, and goes through innumerable births, is like one who wanders all over the world in a dream. Thus, realizing the Self would only be like waking up from the dream-wanderings.

Surrender can never be regarded as complete so long as the devotee wants this or that from the Lord.

Destiny (karma) is the result of past actions.

Awareness which already exists within everyone everywhere, is imperishable and changeless.


-- Sri Ramana Maharshi

Monday, July 23, 2007

Karma (destiny) (conduct)

- Until realization, there will be karma, that is, action and reaction. After realization, there will be no karma, and no world

-
When there is no "I" there is no karma (destiny).

-
Bad habits and bad conduct are like a wound in the body. Every disease must be given appropriate treatment.

-
There is no standard by which to judge something to be right and another to be wrong. Opinions differ according to the nature of the individual and according to the surroundings. They are ideas, and nothing more.

-
If one remains at peace oneself, there is only peace everywhere.


-- Sri Ramana Maharshi

Few more quotes on self by Sri Ramana Maharshi

* The Self is God. "I AM" is God.

*
Know that you are the perfect shining light, which not only makes the existence of God's kingdom possible, but also allows it to be seen as some wonderful heaven.

*
Faith is in things unknown, but the Self is self-evident.

*
That bliss of the Self is always with you and you will find it for yourself if you seek it earnestly.

*
All unhappiness is due to the ego; with it comes all your trouble. What does it avail you to attribute to the happenings in life the cause of misery which is really within you?


- Sri Ramana Maharshi

Friday, July 13, 2007

Human mind, the self, the doer

* It is the human mind that creates its own difficulties and then cries for help.

*
To bring about peace means to be free from thoughts and to abide as pure Consciousness.

*
He who thinks he is the doer is also the sufferer.

*
Effort must be made to eradicate the mental tendencies. Knowledge can only remain unshaken after all the mental tendencies are rooted out.

*
To be the Self that you really are is the only means to realize the bliss that is ever yours.

Sri Ramana Maharshi

Sri Ramana Maharshi some beautifull quotes with great insight


Few of very good quotations of Sri Ramana Maharshi


* "You are not instructed to shut your eyes to the world, you are only to "see yourself first and then see the whole world as the Self."

*
So long as you consider yourself to be the body, you see the world as external and the imperfections appear to you.

*
Look within, see the Self. Then there will be an end of the world and its miseries.

*
If one knows the truth that all one gives to others is giving only to oneself, who indeed will not be a virtuous person and perform the kind act of giving to others.

-- Sri Ramana Maharshi

Love life happiness

* You must love all and help all, since only in this way can you help yourself.

* Good, God, Love, are all the same thing. If the person keeps continuously thinking of any one of these, it will be enough. All meditation is for the purpose of keeping out all other thoughts.

* If one scrutinizes one's own Self, which is bliss, there will be no misery at all in one's life.

* Misery does not exist in reality but only in mere imagination.

A love song

This is yet another poem written by the blogger way back. i use to write poems and compose in to the song on guitar and perform among the friends. Since all the songs were on philosophical aspect, one of my friend forced me to write a love song (those were college days, although i never studied in one, my friends did). and this was what came out, also on guitar it came out quite good.

OOH GIRL, COME AND LISTEN TO MY SONG,
'CAUSE I SING YOU THIS SONG FOR OUR LOVE, TONIGHT,
SO COMMON GIRL AND LISTEN TO MY SONG, 'CAUSE I SING YOU THIS SONG FOR OUR
LOVE,

ALLOW ME TO HOLD YOU TIGHT IN MY ARMS,
AND GET IN ANOTHER WORLD,
ALLOW ME TO KNOW ALL OF YOUR DREAMS,
AND REALIZE ALL YOUR FANTASIES,
ALLOW ME TO DROWN YOU IN MY LOVE,
AND GET OVER FLOODED WITH MY LOVE,
ALLOW ME GIVE YOU SOME PRECIOUS MOMENTS,
AND GET THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE,

I'VE GOT SO MUCH TO GIVE TO YOU BABY, SO PLEASE COME AND TAKE IT ALL FROM ME

Self Consciousness

"Consciousness is always Self-consciousness. If you are conscious of anything, you are essentially conscious of yourself"

Sri Ramana Maharshi

Yes very true, whatever we are conscious of, basically we our conscious of our own self, the self is always involved. To be aware of what happening to the self in the present moment is very essential i feel. Most of the time we are lost, lost in thoughts, lost in the past and the future, bringing the consciousness to the present is what great teachers like Sri Ramana Maharshi wants from us, they are the awakener rather than the teachers.

The ignorance of I thought

* "The ignorance is identical with the "I"-thought. Find its source and it will vanish. The "I"-thought is like a spirit which is not palpable, and it rises up simultaneously with the body, flourishes on it and disappears with it."

*
All these notes you are making of my sayings and so on, are useful for beginners, for friends and to answer the questions of others. But for yourself, you know that they are only pieces of paper. Dive into the Self and find all you want to know there!

*
By repeated practice one can become accustomed to turning inwards and finding the Self. One must always and constantly make an effort, until one has permanently realized. Once the effort ceases, the state becomes natural and the Supreme takes possession of the person with an unbroken current. Until it has become permanently natural and your habitual state, know that you have not realized the Self, only glimpsed it.

*
What need is there to explain the non-self? Take Vedanta, for instance: they say there are fifteen kinds of prana (breath, vital force, the upward flow of energy). The student is made to memorize their names and functions. The air goes up and is called prana, and when it comes down it is called apana (the downward flow of energy); it operates the indriyas (organs of sense) and is called something else. Why all this? Why do you classify, give names and enumerate the functions, and so on? Is it not enough to know that one prana does the whole work? The antahkarana (mind; the seat of thought and feeling) thinks, desires, wills, reasons etc, and each function is attributed to one name such as mind or intellect. Has anyone seen the pranas or the antahkaranas. Have they any real being? They are mere concepts. When and where will they end?

*
Consider this: A man sleeps. He says on waking that he slept. The question is asked, "Why does he not say in his sleep that he is sleeping?" The answer is given that he is sunk in the Self and cannot speak, like somebody diving into a pool to bring something up from the bottom. The diver cannot speak. When he has actually recovered the article and emerges from the water, he speaks. Well, what is the explanation? When he is immersed in the water, it would gush into his mouth if he were to open it to speak. It's simple, isn't it? But the philosopher is not content with this simple fact. He explains it by saying that fire is the deity that presides over speech, and that it is inimical to water and therefore cannot function. This is called philosophy and students are struggling to learn all this. Isn't it a sheer waste of time? Again the gods are said to preside over the limbs and senses of the individual. So they talk about hiranyagarba (cosmic egg) etc. Why should confusion be created and then explained away? Those who do not involve themselves in this maze are lucky. I was very fortunate that I never took to it. If I had, I would probably be nowhere, always in confusion. Fortunately, my vasanas (inherent tendencies and conditioning) took me directly to the "Who am I?" enquiry.

*
All relative knowledge belongs to the mind, not the Self. It is therefore illusory, not permanent. A scientist who formulates the theory that the earth is round, for instance, may prove it incontrovertibly, but when he falls asleep the whole idea vanishes: his mind is left blank. What does it matter if the world is round or flat when he is asleep? So you see the futility of all such relative knowledge. Real knowledge is to go beyond all relative knowledge and abide in the Self. Realize that the Self transcends intellect; the intellect itself must vanish to reach the Self.

*
The jnanis (one who has realized the Self) point out that the yogi assumes the existence of the body and its separateness from the Self, and therefore advises effort for their reunion by the practice of yoga. In fact, the body is in the mind, which is seated in the brain; the brain functions by light borrowed from another source, as admitted by the yogis themselves in their fontanelle theory (that the life-current enters the body through the fontanelle, the soft spot in the head at birth). The jnani argues that if the light is borrowed, it must come from its original source. Go to the source directly and do not depend upon borrowed resources. An iron ball needs fire to come into being separate from the mass of iron. Later, it cools down relinquishing the fire, but it must be heated once again if it is to reunite with the mass. So, the cause of separation from the Self must also be its means of union.

Jiddu Krishnamurti Quote on Love

"Love alone can transform the present madness and insanity in the world - not systems, not theories, either of the left or of the right. You really love only when you do not possess, when you are not envious, not greedy, when you are respectful, when you have mercy and compassion, when you have consideration for your wife, your children, your neighbour, your unfortunate servants."

From: The first and the Last freedom.


Here J. Krishnamurti, points how love alone can transform the present madness we see in the world. All the theories to solve the problems, have failed as we see, cause theories can never bring about a inner change in humanity. Theories are learned be the mind and the inner totality is never touched by what is learned only through the theories. Love is the quality that is needed in human, only that is the answer to the wars and all the crimes and insanity going on in the world. Because a man with a loving heart cannot harm or even think to harm anybody, in anyway, now mentally, nor physically. He always looks for a harmony and peace. Further J. Krishnamurti also shows what love is not? because it is in discovering what love is not, that we find what love is, which is our essential nature. Most of us misunderstand the nature of possession as love, while possession is perhaps the opposite of love as it binds what we think we love, the object of love becomes a thing and love is such a vast process that it cannot be possessed nor it posses. Similarly when we are envious or greedy we should know that we are far away from love. These things are the wall for the love to flower. And when we have the quality of compassion, mercy we should know that we love. Compassion and mercy not just for whom we called are nearer and dear ones and for ones whom we think that we love. But for every living being in general. Even the servants we should be compassionate and should be careful not to hurt them. Even for the animals there must be a feeling of compassion. Those who feel for each and every living being can be called transformed by love and not those who would rob and cheat other for the sake of so called loved ones.

A poem MYSTERY WOMAN

This one was also written in those days when i might be around 20. This poem never got a chance to get composed into a song with music.



SHE IS SITTING IN THE DARK, IN THE CANDLE LIGHT,
HER HAIR ARE LONG, HER EYES GOT THE GLEAM,
HER HANDS GOT THE POWER, SHE'S GOT A CRYSTAL BALL,
HER VOICE GOT THE DEPTH, SHE WON'T TELL YOU WHAT SHE MEANS,

SHE IS MYSTERY WOMAN


SHE IS WEARING RED GOWN, IN THE DARKNESS OF THE NIGHT,
SHE'S YOUNGER THAN YOU THINK, LIKE SHE'S FROM OTHER WORLD,
SHE'LL CREATE FIRE IN YOUR HEART, THAT WILL BURN UP YOUR PAST,
SO YOU BETTER BE AWARE, 'CAUSE SHE CAN KILL YOU IN THE NIGHT,

SHE IS MYSTERY WOMAN

BUT IF YOU WANT TO BE MYSTIFIED, YOU LET HER WORK HER WAY,
SHE WILL FILL YOU WITH HER MAGIC, THAT COULD EXPLODE YOUR HEAD,
YOU KEEP YOUR EYES ON HER, AND WATCH HER EVERY MOVE,
SHE COULD HIT YOU WITH THE LIGHTENING, RIGHT BETWEEN YOUR EYES,

SHE IS MYSTERY WOMAN

RUNNING FOR NOTHING

This was the first ever poem i wrote, it was written for a purpose of transforming into a song since i was learning guitar and wanted to do something creative, something original, as such things were loved. And it was also the first composed song of my own.


AS THEY DO I'VE BEEN RUNNING FOR HEAVEN,
EACH TIME I ENDED TO THE HELL'S GATE,
IT WAS ENOUGH OF IT WHEN I HEARD A MAD MANS WORDS,
HE SAYS, RUN FOR NOTHING,
RUN FOR NOTHING,

I DID GAVE HIM A CHANCE,
SINCE I'VE BEEN RUNNING, RUNNING AND RUNNING,
I'VE BEEN RUNNING FOR NOTHING,
RUNNING FOR NOTHING,

ITS SO TEMPTING, SO ORGASMIC, SO FILLED,
THIS NOTHING,
SO I'VE BEEN RUNNING FOR NOTHING,
RUNNING FOR NOTHING,
RUNNING FOR NOTHING,
RUNNING FOR NOTHING

Meditation Ramana Maharshi

Few quote from Ramana Maharshi on meditation and self inquiry


‘The same line you take in meditation will be expressed in your activities.’

‘If you meditate in the right manner then the current of mind induced will continue to flow even in the midst of your work.’

‘Inquiring, "Who am I that is in bondage?" and knowing one's real nature alone is liberation.’

‘If one resorts uninterruptedly to remembrance of one's real nature until one attains the Self, that alone will be sufficient.’

Sri Ramana Maharshi

Uninterrupted remembrance of the self requires much aliveness and vigilance from our part. To be aware of everything that is happenings to the self, the past and the future affecting the mind, the environment affecting the mind, and in the midst of that remembering the self can be quiet arduous. The grace of the God or Guru or perfect Master helps much. Also Sai Baba of Shirdi use to say many times "You need not go far or anywhere in search of Me. Barring your name and form, there exists in you, as well as in all beings, a sense of Being or Consciousness of Existence. That is Myself. Knowing this, you see Me inside yourself, as well as in all beings. If you practise this, you will realize all-pervasiveness, and thus attain oneness with Me."

About 18 years ago when i was about 20 years of age used to write poems, and compose them into songs. Few songs were sung i local rock shows and others just while with friends. All these the poems will be posted under the label blogger's poems will be posted.

This one was called Sitting by Riverside


SITTING BY RIVER SIDE, I SEE THE STARS SHINES BRIGHT,
WATCHING BENEATH MY SHOES, IS THE GRASS SO GREEN,
WATER RUNNIN' GOT, GOT THE SOUND SO RIGHT,
WIND BLOWING MAKES, MAKES ME FEEL ALL RIGHT,

SITTING BY RIVER SIDE

WALKING TROUGH THE DESERT, I SEE THE SUN SHINES BRIGHT,
BELOW MY FEET IS, IS THE SAND SO HOT,
DISTANT HORIZON, MAKES ME FEEL SO HIGH,
HALLUCINATION, TRYING TO TAKE ME AWAY,

WALKING THROUGH THE DESERT

PASSING THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS, THE AIR IS SO THIN,
BELOW MY EYES ARE, THE VALLEYS SO DEEP,
MOUNTAIN PEAKS AT DISTANCE, WANNA MAKE ME REACH SO HIGH,
I DON'T KNOW DESTINATION, 'CAUSE ITS LIKE THE CALL FROM THE UNKNOWN,

Love and Attachment

* 'Love is a dangerous thing, it brings the only revolution that gives complete happiness. So few of us are capable of love, so few want love. We love on our own terms, making of love a marketable thing. We have the market mentality and love is not marketable, a give-and-take affair. It is a state of being in which all man’s problems are resolved. We go to the well with a thimble and so life becomes a tawdry affair, puny and small.'

* 'When you get rid of attachment, there will be LOVE.' 'LOVE can not exist where there is attachment.'

*
'Attachment gives a sense of belonging, identification with something, a sense of reality, of being. When that is threatened, there is fear, anger, envy, jealousy, pain. Is all this love?'

* 'In the denial of what love is not, love is'.


Jiddu Krishnamurti

* '
But true Bliss can come only to one who would take courage in his hands and become free of all attachment to forms, which are nothing but the illusions of duality. Only then can he get united with his true Beloved, who is God as the eternal and abiding Truth behind all forms, including what he regards as his own body.'

* 'Often wars are carried on by a form of love, but a love that has not been properly understood. In order that love may come into its own it must be free, untrammeled and unlimited. Love exists in all phases of human life, but usually it is latent; or it is limited and poisoned by personal ambition, racial pride, narrow loyalties and rivalries, and attachment to sex, nationality, sect, caste or religion. For the resurrection of humanity the heart of man must be unlocked so that adulterated love may be manifested in it — a love uncorrupted and free from "me" and "mine".'

Meher Baba

Avoid attachment to both what is pleasant
And what is unpleasant.
Losing the pleasant causes grief.
Dwelling on the unpleasant also causes grief.
Do not cling to the pleasant.
Let it pass,
So that the separation will not diminish you.
Clinging to what is dear brings sorrow.
Clinging to what is dear brings fear.
To one who is entirely free from endearment
There is no sorrow or fear.

Gautam Buddha

* 'A third motive is Kama, which is pleasure, love, or attachment. For this one neglects things and makes sacrifices. It is the main object in life. Yet pleasure is such that the desire for it is never satisfied. The more one experiences the pleasures of this earth, the more one wants to experience them. This pleasure is not lasting and it usually costs more than it is worth.'

* 'The attachment and love and affection of man are not very different from the attachment of the birds and animals. There is a time when the sparrow looks after its young and brings grains in its beak and puts them into the beak of its young ones, and they anxiously await the coming of their mother. And this goes on until their wings are grown, and once the young ones have known the branches of the tree and they have flown in the forests under the protection of their mother, they never again remember that mother who was so kind to them. There are moments of emotion, there are impulses of love, of attachment, of affection, but there comes a time when these pass; they pale and fade away. And there comes a time when a person thinks that there is something else he desires and something else he would like to love.'

Hazrat Inayat Khan




* '
You will feel restless for God when your heart becomes pure and your mind free from attachment to the things of the world. Then alone will your prayer reach God. A telegraph wire cannot carry messages if it has a break or some other defect.'


Sri Ramakrishna Paramhamsha

*
'Let go of your attachment to the unreal and the real will swiftly and smoothly step into its own. Stop imagining yourself being or doing this or that and the realization that you are the source and heart of all will dawn upon you. With this will come great love which is not choice or predilection, nor attachment, but a power which makes all things love-worthy and lovable.'

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Desires and silence of the mind

Silence comes with the absence of desire. Desire is swift, cunning and deep.

Jiduu Krishnamurti on fear

Peace is the state of mind; it is the freedom of all desire to be secure. The mind-heart that seeks security is always under then shadow of fear. Our desire is not only of material security, but much more for inner, psychological security, and it is this desire to be inwardly secure through virtue through beleif, through a nation that creates a limiting and conflicting groups and ideas.

Jiddu Krishnamurti Quote on Death

You cannot rationalize death away, saying that all things die. that the fresh green leaf of spring is blown away in the autumn and so on. You can reason and find explanation for death, or try to conquer by will the fear of death, or find a belief for the substitute of that fear; but all this is still the action of the mind.

Atttaiining knowledge of the self

* Not leaving the Self is true Knowledge (Jnana).



Sri Ramana Maharshi

Inscrutable are the ways of Fakir

Shama, you are as a newborn infant, as yet! Unless Allah Favors him, what can I do?
Can anybody step up to this mosque without being Allahmiya’s debtor? Inscrutable are the ways of Fakir here. Over Him, I have no control.

On Suurender and Karma

* Perform your duty conscientiously and with detachment regarding yourself not as a doer but only as an instrument in his hands.



* Surrender the fruit of action to Him (God) so that action will not harm or bind you. Let your love and compassion grow to all creatures of God. Do not engage in controversy. Words of others cannot harm you. Bear with others patiently. Accept your lot cheerfully without comparing yourself with others. Do not speak ill of others. Do not give tit for tat for each is answerable for his own actions.

tendencies towards sense-objects

* As long as there are tendencies towards sense-objects in the mind, the inquiry "Who am I?" is necessary.

* Without giving room even to the doubting thought, "Is it possible to destroy all these tendencies (vasanas) and to remain as Self alone?" one should persistently cling fast to Self-attention.

Power of Love and Love for power

Peace will come when the power of love
overcomes the love of power


Jimi Hendrix.

Jiddu Krishnamurti Quote on Love and Respect

Obviously there is no love when there is no real respect, when you don't respect another, whether he is your servant or your friend. Have you not noticed that you are not respectful, kindly, generous, to your servants, to people who are so-called `below' you? You have respect for those above, for your boss, for the millionaire, for the man with a large house and a title, for the man who can give you a better position, a better job, from whom you can get something. But you kick those below you, you have a special language for them. Therefore where there is no respect, there is no love; where there is no mercy, no pity, no forgiveness, there is no love. And as most of us are in this state we have no love.

True love is unconquerable and irresistible

Love has to spring spontaneously from within
And it is no way amenable to any form of inner or outer force.
Love and coercion can never go together;
But though love cannot be forced on anyone,
It can be awakened in him through love itself.
Love is essentially self communicative;
Those who do not have it catch it from those who have it.
True love is unconquerable and irresistible,
And it goes on gathering power and spreading itself,
Until eventually it transforms everyone whom it touches

Meher Baba.

Seek not Love but for the barriers against it

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

Rumi.

Wonderful quote by the great Mystic Poet Maullana Rumi. This quotes point to the essential fact all the great Mystics and Prophets and teachers have been pointing to. Our nature is that of love, we do not need to look for it as we are it. There are many barriers within us that project themselves as love, many short comings like lust, possession, wants, selfish expectations, ambitions, greed which are needed to be known understood and got rid of.

Love brings about the transformation

The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary thing called
love and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it, you will
discover that for you the world is transformed



Jiddu Krishnamurti.

Love does not require a sword to rule

Love rules his kingdom without a sword

....Proverb.

Has Love ending

True love doesn't have a happy ending:
true love doesn't have an ending


....Unknown.

Strenght of the lover

Love many things, for therein lies the true strength,
and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish
much, and what is done in love is done well.

...Vincent Van Gogh.

Love and Fear and Obedience

Wicked men obey from fear;
good men, from love


...Aristotle.

The beauty of Love

Real beauty lies in the spiritual accord
that is called love which can exist between
a man and a woman.


...Kahlil Gibran.

Love and Time

It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship
and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual
affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will
not be created for years or even generations


...Kahlil Gibran.

Love of God

God loves each of us as if there
were only one of us


...St. Augustine.

What does Love Look Like

What does love look like? It has the hands to help others.
It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes
to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and
sorrows of men. That is what love looks like


St. Augustine.

Jiddu Krishnamurti Quote on Love and forgiveness

Is forgiveness love? What is implied in forgiveness? You insult me and I resent it, remember it; then, either through compulsion or through repentance, I say, "I forgive you". First I retain and then I reject. Which means what? I am still the central figure. I am still important, it is I who am forgiving somebody. As long as there is the attitude of forgiving it is I who am important, not the man who is supposed to have insulted me. So when I accumulate resentment and then deny that resentment, which you call forgiveness, it is not love. A man who loves obviously has no enmity and to all these things he is indifferent. Sympathy, forgiveness, the relationship of possessiveness, jealousy and fear - all these things are not love. They are all of the mind, are they not? As long as the mind is the arbiter, there is no love, for the mind arbitrates only through possessiveness and its arbitration is merely possessiveness in different forms. The mind can only corrupt love, it cannot give birth to love, it cannot give beauty. You can write a poem about love, but that is not love.

Jiddu Krishnamurti Quote on Love and sentiment

Obviously love is not sentiment. To be sentimental, to be emotional, is not love, because sentimentality and emotion are mere sensations. A religious person who weeps about Jesus or Krishna, about his guru or somebody else, is merely sentimental, emotional. He is indulging in sensation, which is a process of thought, and thought is not love. Thought is the result of sensation, so the person who is sentimental, who is emotional, cannot possibly know love. Again, aren't we emotional and sentimental? Sentimentality, emotionalism, is merely a form of self-expansion. To be full of emotion is obviously not love, because a sentimental person can be cruel when his sentiments are not responded to, when his feelings have no outlet. An emotional person can be stirred to hatred, to war, to butchery. A man who is sentimental, full of tears for his religion, surely has no love.

The essence of Love

Love is something eternal;
the aspect may change,
but not the essence


Vincent Van Gogh.

Giving is Love

True love is spelled G-I-V-E. It is not based on what you can get,
but rooted in what you can give to the other person


Josh McDowell.

Communication in Silence

Couples who love each other tell each other
a thousand things without talking


Chinese Proverb.
The true lovers have the language of the silence, they don't need to talk about love. It is conveyed in each others presence or remembrance. It's a happening, it happens without their effort, the great force of love transport them in a different world, and they can feel what words cannot convey. There are no demands, no wants and they should be careful that the energy of love should work on them and get deeper in their selves and higher in spirits, there are lot of other things which project themselves as love takes the real thing away.

Love one soul two bodies

Love is composed of a single soul
inhabiting two bodies


Aristotle.

Love and Passion

Passionate love is a quenchless thirst


Kahlil Gibran.
