But I still don’t understand the meaning of love. I have crossed my twenties to reason out “WHAT IS LOVE” but have not succeeded in finding the answer yet. Different perceptions by different people keep on haunting me. Whether they are wrong or I have failed to understand their perspectives.  If they are right then why Lord Krishna slaughtered Kansa. What crime had he committed? He just loved thyself, so just to save himself he committed atrocities on innocent people and even on his sister Yashodhara. But in the overall scenario he failed to love others.  So do we have to consider his act as an act of brutality or self defense?

Even our father of nation “MAHATMA GANDHI” loved thyself and his country and fought against the British to snatch the freedom from their hands to gain independence for his country, which had been in the shackles of bondage over a period of 200 years. Then why was he shot dead by his own countrymen, whom he loved and stood for. He loved others, then why was he shot dead.

Kansa and Gandhi, both have been the opposite sides of the same coin, one who loved himself and other oneself and others. Even then both were slaughtered. WHY???

What is the real meaning of love??? What we really are missing???? These instances leave me bewildered. I find myself lost in fog, the more I search for, the denser it gets.

Still my questions are unanswered. The question which prevails everywhere and each one of us seeks an answer to it.

If love is not about thyself or others, then what is it????

Love, what I feel, is not bound by any vivid meaning or description. It’s endless, the more you feel it, the more you are engrossed by its presence. Love is not just an essence; it’s about how you feel about yourself and everyone around you. Rather, it’s the essence that unites the communities and individuals together.  Love simply is self esteem/self image of an individual.

Love is like a seed, you sow it and with proper nurturing it turns into a bud…. then slowly a leaflet ….then a plant……then into a tree which bears fruits and flowers. Then, this tree bends with its fruits to feed the passerby. Passerby is overwhelmed by its offerings and honours its care. Soon its magnificence and glory spreads around the globe.

So if you really need to have that essence, that self esteem and that self image, all you need to possess is just that small seed of love, which you need to sow within yourself and nurture with your care, kindness and humbleness.  Hence, when it grows ready to be reaped, it offers love and becomes a catalyst in each other’s growth.

I have sowed my love seeds. When are you going to sow yours and reap them?
