Love has no opposite
When you really love, the opposite emotions cannot enter into you. They will simply be excluded. When there is bright light in a room, can darkness be brought in? When you are brimming with love, there is no way another emotion can enter.
When you go deeply into any emotion, only that emotion remains and you cease to exist. This is what we mean by 'totality'.
When you are brimming with love, you don't feel yourself, you feel only love; you become love. Only when you become love have you found real love. When you become love, you automatically exude compassion towards everyone and everything around you.
To be able to love unconditionally, you need to be free.
I am not saying that you should forget your family, religion etc.
Just don't see love in the context of all this, that's all. Free your inner space from these bondages. When you feel that you belong to the whole of Existence, you can love without any boundaries.
Love is the ultimate experience of a human being.
When the experience happens, we will not be able to possess the experience, only the experience will possess us!
If you see, when you have loved totally, you will never feel guilty or sad when a person dies. You may feel sad at the physical separation, but you will never feel that you have missed anything when they were living.
When I say total love, I don't mean that you should have fulfilled all others'
expectations.
I mean, you should have been centered in yourself well and exuded that kind of energizing love towards them, seeing and respecting them as part of Existence.
Only a person who loves like this knows how to love.
