What is Love?

Love is a state of being. It is our 'home' state. When we are completely at peace with ourselves, without any demands, expectations, needs, requirements, emotions, points to prove, fears, worries, uncertainties etc etc, we are in that home state of love. When any of these 'interruptions' happen, they super-impose other states of being- such as being in anger, being in fear, being in ecstasy, being in attachment, being in greed, being in lust, etc. etc. upon the home state of love. In other words, the state of love doesn't go away, it only gets temporarily hidden/ over-shadowed/ covered/ painted over. (something like the sky getting covered with clouds/ stars etc). 

Hence, whether we realize it or not, we ALWAYS remain in a state of love. We cannot possibly leave that state of being. EVERYONE, including the rapist, the murderer, the corrupt, the terrorist, the saint, the rogue, the rich, the poor, REMAIN in the state of Love at all times; it is the 'interruptions/ disturbances/ clouds/ stars' that determine our happiness or unhappiness. 

Love is the state of oneness. Hence, there are no words to define the opposite of love; though we use words like hate and fear to bring love into the realm of duality and thus get confused about what love actually is. (Opposite of hate is compassion; and opposite of fear is fearlessness/ courage). 

Love you all..............:)

(When I say 'love you' that means, I am communicating from my home state.) (But come to think of it, the 'interruptions' make our lives more colourful and interesting, just as clouds/ stars/ sun / moon make the sky more interesting. As long as we don't forget what the sky actually looks like, without the super-impositions...ALL IS WELL.)
