A Nice Article about Love (by Swami Vivekananda)
I
once had a friend who grew to be very close to me. Once when we were
sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand
with some water and held it before me, and said this: "You see this
water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love."
This
was how I saw it: As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow
it to remain there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to
close your fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spill through
the first cracks it finds.
This
is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love...they try
to posses it, they demand, they expect... and just like the water
spilling out of your hand, love will retrieve from you .
For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature. If there are people you love, allow them to be free beings.
# Give and don't expect
# Advise, but don't order
# Ask, but never demand
