Article 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, shefilled the palm of her hand with some water and held itbefore me, and said this:"You see this water carefully contained on my hand? Itsymbolizes Love."This was how I saw it:As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it toremain there, it will always be there. However, if youattempt to close your fingers round it and try to possess it,it will spill through the first cracks it findsThis is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet LOVE...
They try to possess it,They demand, they expect...And just like the water spilling out of your hand, lovewill retrieve from you. For love is meant to be free, youcannot change its nature. If there are people you love, allowthem to be free beings.Give and don't expect.Advise, but don't order.Ask, but never demand.It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take alifetime to truly practice. It is the secret to true love. Totruly practice it, you must sincerely feel no expectationsfrom those who you love, and yet an unconditional caring."Passing thought...Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take; but bythe moments that take our breath away.....Life is beautiful!!!Live it...
