Love

Love is the strongest thing on this planet, yet it makes you utterly weak. What everyone wants is to love and be loved and yet love is the root cause of most problems. Strange but true!! Love usually starts as an attraction. In most cases this love very soon turns into hate or attachment or jealousy or fear or greed (possessiveness). This then leads to exclusion, delusion, loss of freedom, confusion, stress and misery. In a minority of cases, the same love turns into surrender and devotion. This type of love brings freedom, commitment, servitude and joy.  Why do we get caught up in delusion. It is ignorance of the nature of our own self and what strengthens this ignorance is our ego – our own sense of identity (albeit a false one!). Have you noticed, when you are in the presence of a Master or in a place of worship, automatically you kneel down or bow down or stand up with out being told to. The ego just vanishes and the Higher Prana takes over.
