Love is an overflowing of energy.
Whenever you express love, you express energy also.
When you are deeply in love, deeply flowing, you feel as if you heart has flowered.
This is true!
What you are experiencing is the expansion of your anahata chakra, the heart center. The anahata chakra overflows with the energy of love. What is attention-need?
If love is energy, attention need is nothing but low energy!
When we don't feel fulfilled inside ourselves, we seek attention from others. Understand, attention is energy!
That is why, in whatever we do or even think, we are subconsciously seeking concurrence and approval from the people around us in some subtle way. All your life, you are on a signature campaign, getting endorsements from your family, your friends and society: Good Father, Good Husband, Good
Employee, Good Friend and so on!
We judge ourselves only based on others' opinions of us, through their certificates.
We are so dependent on others' opinion of us because they have become the source of our energy. When you are dependent on external sources for energy, you become psychologically handicapped.
With a physical handicap, at least you know that you are handicapped, but with psychological handicap, you don't even know that you are handicapped.
When we are so dependent on others for attention, we can fall into depression any moment.
People who suffer from depression are actually suffering from attention-need. If we don't get enough attention and we find it difficult to handle it.
Just one word is enough to put us into depression.
But we don't know the real reason for our depression.
So what do we do? We start taking medicine to cure it.
How will it heal? The cause for the depression is inside you and you look at medicines for help!
