True love requires a complete attitude to understand the depth in it

Love is a fine flower but unity of consciousness is the root- Sri Aurobindo

One of my friends was living in Delhi some years before. It was his toughest time ever in his life. He had lost his job and was not in a condition to search for a job for a long time. His command on English was not good at that time so whatever jobs were available in the market he could not grab those. At last he decided to join an English course in one of the well-known English learning centre in Delhi.

There he met his love of life. He was not sure whether she was in love with her or not but he did not bother about that. He did not know that he can be able to get her in future. He had told his feelings to her. He has always considered her his strength that gave him great confidence and by that he could walk on the path of success. Today he is working as an editor in one of the reputed English newspapers of India.

My friend has understood true love and its desire. He had no desire from her but to fulfill his life by the feeling of being loved and loving someone. That was enough for him.

It is easy to fall in love but it is not so easy to understand true love. We consider it as just an act but it requires a complete attitude.

True love is like a sea, it appears lull but inside, a lot of things happen. And to know the depth of the sea you have to be a good swimmer to begin with.

Love is ever the beginning of knowledge as fire is light- Carlyle

To understand true love, first you have to love yourself. The better you love yourself the more you can understand others. By loving himself a person can understand desire of his own so can others.

True love means- compassion and commitment, compassion to understand each other and better understanding leads a simple and fruitful life. Where is, commitment is to live together. Living together leaves no place for sign of anger and jealousy. If it would happen it will last momentarily and finally love would prevail.

In true love sacrifice are not considered so, it is just a simple act. A person is not going to expect anything for his act. It is rare that a person would be selfish if he or she is under the shadow of true love. There is so much faith that gives liberty to the individuals that make their relationships last forever.

Khalil Jibran in his book The Prophet has nicely transformed the words of Christ who defined true love as;
Love possesses not nor it would be possessed.
For love is sufficient unto love.
When you love you should not say, “God is in my heart”, but “I am in the heart of God”.
And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it find you worthy, direct your course.
Love has not other desire to fulfill itself.
But if you love and must have desire, let these be your desire:

In most of the cases we consider that true love only happens between two opposite sex people but it can be with anyone, with Almighty, parent, spouse, friend and with anything under the sun.

It was true love only that has motivated Farhad to make a tunnel across mountain. True love had been shown by Romeo for his beloved Julliet, Lailla for Majnu and Soni for Mahiwal had proved that it requires an attitude to understand true love. Attitude of true love made all the difference in their life and so it can in every ones life.

Love, which is the essence of God, is not for levity, but for the total worth of man- Emerson

Question always arises that a person falls in love or rises in love. One first falls in love and if his love is true then he will not only rise in love but in his life as well. No one can stop him to rise if he understands true love.

But as someone has said, “you hurt most the person you love most”, it means there is a lot of space for anything to happen in true love also.
