Czarinasays,

Here is what I would say for your questions, Even though I will write ten books on these subject, it will not be enough to satisfy all human souls but as you have asked, here is short description of what this poor guy from Himalaya feels about these issues-

Q). How would you differentiate these 3 (Faith, hope and love) ?

A) Human being is the hope. The “H” in the “Human” words stand for “H” in “Hope”. Faith is for focus of mind to certain things or object. and love is for life.

Q)Can a person survive on faith alone? or hope alone? or love alone?

A) Yes they can and they are surviving on these three elements, with or without them.

Q)or must these elements (faith, love, hope) always go together?

A) No, it is not necessary that these elements should go together. But if they go together then there will be complete peace and solitude in humanity. (Which we are currently lacking in the present world and it is even getting worse everyday!)

Q)what do you believe is the most important among these? (if you think you can live with just one OR if one of these failed you.. example, if you have had failed in love or lost the faith or hope)

A)I don’t believe, I have them in me. I know how to give love, I know how to have faith and I know how to hope hope.
Having said that, if I am failed in any of these vital pills for humanity(faith, love, hope) my physical existence will be no more.

Q)would you be able to give an example (taken from your experiences or made it up–analogies ) on how these 3 link together?

A) LOVE FAITH HOPE

-Without love there is no life, without hope there is no physical existence of humanity and you need faith to have hope and love.

-Why are we worried about these pills for humanity (love, faith and hope), just concentrate on daily normal life and when you will be very old, you will easily know the answers.

-The pills for humanity such as love, faith and hope needs to be taken every morning when you wake up and every evening when you sleep.

-Don’t be afraid with any one and any body not even vampires or devils or even death then you will slowly understand the meaning for these humanity pills such as love, faith and hope.

-A Single human life good deeds will add peace and prosperity to entire humanity and with humanity pills, your behavior also will be good. Therefore, just think less and do more, don’t regret and don’t pretend, as the flowing of river never stops, as the rain drops touch your face in the raining days, as the sun light kills darkness as the mother earth balances herself.., we will change.., in that change, we will transform ourselves into perfect individuals, those with supreme intellect and the power just like prophets. One day, all humanity will transform into pure humanity, those with the power of truth, love, faith, trust and supreme Consciousness. That day, is not very far….,

If you need any further explanations, please write it to me.., I would be happy and try to make you satisfied with my poor words. Thank you !

God blesses you !

and

God bless you all !

Hi carolena !

it’s so true waht u said ( maybe i am addressing you alone in thsi illustrious company, maybe because of that photograph, which may or may not be yours, but which sparkles with love ) those beautiful eyes compel a response ! see love is no compulsion but it is compleling too.

love cannot be ‘explained’ love is and it needs to be expereinced, by dropping fear ( as people have pointed out )( easier said than done, ptetence will not do ) by dropping fear one begings a journey where glipses of love and pain too surface, refining, refining finally love fountain !

although love cannot be ‘explained’ all releigioos texsts, much of poetry amd prose are all written about love or out of love. it is as it should be ! sorry paulo taking the easy way out is not fair ! by just saying love is, what does one gather. yes whatever one says won’t be love, but it will be like a map, a photograph of love, taken by the photographer from his perspctive, hence one must love, talk of love, cry in love, enjoy love. Zesus said love is god, this he meant to explain god, assuming that people will know what is love, and let’s all face it, we all know, however faintly what is love, need is to work on it, make it our consious guiding light ! hoever feeble, it feeds on itself and grows stronger as we nurture it !

I TOO DON’T KNOW HOW TO SPEAK OF LOVE, BUT I CAN ACT OUT OF LOVE AND quote someone whom we all love Kahlin Gibran, I TOO WILL REREAD WHAT I READ SO LONG AGO.

“On Love
Then said Almitra, “Speak to us of Love.”

And he raised his head and looked upon the people, and there fell a stillness upon them. And with a great voice he said:

When love beckons to you follow him,

Though his ways are hard and steep.

And when his wings enfold you yield to him,

Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you believe in him,

Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.

For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.

Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,

So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth. Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself.

He threshes you to make you naked.

He sifts you to free you from your husks.

He grinds you to whiteness.

He kneads you until you are pliant;

And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God’s sacred feast.

All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life’s heart.

But IF IN YOUR FEAR you would seek only love’s peace and love’s pleasure,

Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love’s threshing-floor,

Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.

Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.

Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; For love is sufficient unto love. When you love you should not say, “God is in my heart,” but rather, I am in the heart of God.”

And think not you can direct the course of love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.

Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself.

But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:

To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.

To know the pain of too much tenderness.

To be wounded by your own understanding of love;

And to bleed willingly and joyfully.

To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;

To rest at the noon hour and meditate love’s ecstasy;

To return home at eventide with gratitude;

And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips. ”

love
aditya

love is a lifestyle,it’s the state of mind… you live with it and it’s in everything and everywhere, or you don’t… love leads us to the greatest achievements in our lives! from the very first day of birth people filled with love and we have to learn how to keep it in us. the more love you give, the more returns to you.

About Love.
For years, I struggled with the problems of the assumptions of being loved or being in love. This included the love I expected from my husband, children, friends, family etc. The true solution to this quest came as such a twist from what I believed to be true love that it deserves sharing.

Love is an emotion expressed everywhere and we are always trying to define it, although it is never adequately defined. Despite this lack of adequate definition, we are still able to recognize it in another. There is always a quest for love as if it was scarce, and yet, it is available in abundance, with everyone feeling it. On the other hand, everyone never seems to have enough of it.

We can observe love, experience it physically and emotionally, but it still remains a mystery to us. No one can put limitations to it. We experience it as a force that affects our lives from all angles, a force that is in our lives without us consciously putting it there.

Babies need love to survive and build strong immunity. When we are feeling low, we need love to bounce back to life. When we are upset, we would like other people to give us love in the form of understanding, a cuddle, just listening, whatever it is that can accommodate us and give us some comfort.

It is also interesting that at times when a person is upset, he or she wants to be left alone. Within the space an individual retreats to, they find comfort and the ability to sort themselves out. A person does not necessarily need another human to feel love. It embraces us from wherever we are. Love is infinite. Love is everywhere. It is in everyone and for everyone. It makes us smile. It is also a basic human requirement.

This feels like I have only scratched the surface. Before I got my vision on love I had two big questions that I had not been able to answer. Question one: Why does love appear to be abundant, yet we never feel like we have enough of it?
Question two: Why does love seem to be dependent on another; if no one in the world loved me, would that mean I would never experience love?

This second question covered experiences and observations I had of broken heartedness. Men and women cheat on each other, trying to find the elusive thing, resulting in broken marriages, families falling apart, broken friendships, jealousy, etc, etc, etc.

Why did it produce jealousy and not joy and appreciation?

I felt there should be another side to this love mystery, which we have not understood yet. I knew nature created in abundance and completeness, but I was also a jealous and possessive person. When someone “did me wrong,” I worked hard to give pay back, but deep down, I wanted to know if it was possible to completely forgive without pretense, and to be content with life without wanting to reach out for someone to love me. As usual, Eternal Wisdom provided the answer for me.

The illustration on the context of love was presented to me on February 6th 2007. My husband kissed me goodbye to go to work, and because I had gone to bed much earlier the previous night, I felt quite alert that morning. I thought of getting up to do some writing, but decided against it because I thought the light from the computer screen would be too bright for my three-year-old son who was still sleeping. Being winter in England, it was still dark at 7:20 am.

I decided to relax for another hour and closed my eyes. I was neither asleep nor awake, but rather resting in some other dimension, when the following happened:
In my mind’s eye, I saw a man walking from my right and going past me as I knelt on a floor. He was looking straight ahead. I felt drawn to him, like one feels when they fancy someone, so I dipped my right hand into the water that was in a container beside me, stood up and as he went by I sprinkled it on the side of his face in a playful manner and waited for his reaction. He flinched a little and kept on walking without looking at me.

After a few steps, he suddenly turned around and started walking towards me. I quickly bent my head with my eyes staring at the floor and stood frozen to the spot. He moved to within a few feet of me and stopped. I started to raise my head slowly and when my eyes were level with his chest I perceived he had an intense field of love surrounding him that increased from his waist upwards. I raised my head further and looked into his eyes. I felt intense love emanating from him. He looked at me in a strange, fixed way, raised his hands, turned them up side down so that his palms were facing downwards and reached out for mine. I raised mine, with palms facing upwards, and within inches of contact, I remember thinking that he should not touch me because if he did, it would change the context of the experience and spoil the whole phenomena. I felt a strong urge to kiss him, but again, I thought if we kissed it would spoil the experience. I desperately wanted some kind of contact with him, just a hug maybe, but I thought if he hugged me, he would put his hands on my bottom and that would spoil the experience. In the end, I decided it was best to enjoy the experience and savor the purity of the essence.

As soon as I made that decision, a wholesome, really pleasant sensation spread throughout my whole being, from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet. It felt like I was being covered with a blanket of fog, where upon, I felt the numerous little particles on my skin. I realized I had the same field of love that he had and that it was not necessary for me to want or get it from him. This was the central intrinsic wisdom about love staring me in the face—that we are each surrounded by an amazing field of pure love, all the time. The thing is that most of us simply don’t realize it. We are much too busy looking for that love elsewhere.

I opened my eyes. The perception of the love field around me was real, although the man was nowhere in sight. I was not dreaming. This was the vivid illustration to my quest. I closed my eyes again because I was afraid the experience might go away before I had experienced enough of it. I thought, let me get as much of it as I can while it lasts. I perceived my love field; it was vast, far beyond measure and it was a part of me. I sort of blended with it. Yet I could still perceive that part of me that I refer to as “I,” yet again, I was aware “I AM love.”

Then…oh my word! Oh my goodness! It suddenly came to me that this vast love field that enfolds each and every one of us IS THE POWER! It is the power invested in us to draw upon and be whatever we desire to be. This power is all positive. This power is all health, all riches, all serenity, all giving, all stability, all acceptance, all positive expression, all security… IT IS THE PERFECT POWER WITHIN THE I.

This is the power that does not recognize any negativity and we were all created with a potential to receive it, that is, the I is a form that was created with a potential to contain the love vibration within it for the purpose of creating. It is the power we can use to pronounce whatever positive thing we would like to have in our lives. It is also the power we can use to denounce whatever negative thing we do not like in our lives. I can have the power; you can have this power. Everybody can have it! It is an essential part of our invisible form. Original Substance is alive with creative energy and this energy is love. This is the part in us that can allow us to act in the same way as God…

How do we use this power? All anyone needs to do is know this vast love vibration and communicate to Eternal Wisdom through thought that you want it. When confronted with anything problematic, see this vast love vibration surrounding you, feel its little vibrational particles upon you and realize you and all your powerfulness are enveloped within it. Identify with it, call it forth by saying, “I AM LOVE,” then let it into your physical body in whatever way feels real to you, then imagine it as if it were smoldering out of every pore of your body. When you achieve this you are within. Anyone who looks at you will see a radiance they have never seen in you before. What will emanate from you will be pure love and kindness. This is POWER, real POWER. Disease will not affect you; even the most aggressive thing will not affect you when you are in this state. You will be in TRUTH. This is the condition that is TRUE. The ‘I’ is looking at the world through the love vibration. This is the real force we need to put behind everything we do and we can achieve anything.

When you recognize this love and perceive from within it; when you understand how thoughts can twist to the negative and can avoid that; and finally, when you know how to impress positive creative thought on Universal Database, a genius is born. You will know how to consult with the all-knowing, enabling you to have wisdom to know the right ends to seek and the right means to use to attain those ends. Through the love vibration, you will secure the power and ability to use the means. This is what making your life a masterpiece is all about.

“Genius is more than talent. Talent may be one faculty developed out of proportion to other faculties, but genius is the union of man and God in the acts of the soul. Great men or women are always greater than their deeds. They are in connection with a reserve of power that is without limit.” Wallace D. Wattles.

That reserve of POWER that is without limit is called LOVE. The things we perceive to be love are manifestations of that state of being. No matter what we are or what we do, the love field represents our basic nature, our basic essence. The intrinsic nature of that “I,” the never changing self, can have love as its essence. This is where total fulfillment comes from. This is why we always gravitate towards achieving a perfect state. Love is that perfect state; an essence that can be in us that is all-powerful. Again here is an instance to use our power of choice. To choose to ask to experience and be love.

It is this essence that protects us and makes us feel comfortable in our being. It is that power providing us with the assurance that nothing will touch us. It is the power that will allow us to be so that creation, positivity and wisdom can flow through us. When in this state, the heart beats to a steady rhythm and the body feels extremely comfortable all over—it is bliss, it is stability—IT IS POWER! This is the POWER that does not recognize disease, poverty or any other unwanted condition. You feel it and associate it with the heart because the heart is the pendulum that sets the pace, otherwise this is an energy that surrounds our physical body and only permeates it at our invitation or when we will it. This is what is meant by the phrase, “Invite God into your life.” This is the within that is refered to when people say all answers are within. In the illustration I viewed the love sort of blending with me but I still saw the part I viewed as I. From this I can say that the I is created with a predisposition to receive the love vibration. Love is poured into the I when we ask to be a recipient of it. Its immensity will be in accordance to how much of it we ask for. This is the power of choice we have. From this love emanates wisdom. This is also the reason why without it we do not find answers within. Have you ever wondered why we are told all answers are within and yet we always never feel as if we know the answers or can find them within? The wisdom flows within only when we recognize or allow or agree to receive love because love and wisdom walk hand in hand. There is no other force greater than this one. When the bible states that love your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind, all it means is, when you do this you receive love that will lead you to wisdom. God does not need our love to survive but He reciprocates it and thus we become filled with a luminous love vibration. Can you see how it is really to our advantage to love God; to love in order to be happy and wise and have wisdom to have prosperity. We can choose to ignore or disbelieve this but there is no other complete and eternal state of being other than that we go back to this basic nature.

If I am love and the other is love, how can I ask another to give me love? To ask for love from another is to ask another to give me myself. It is as if asking another to be my creator. This is a misconception! I can only live as love and harmonize nature’s equilibrium. I can only let another live his or her love state, while I also live mine. We have gone wrong in assuming that love is something to get from someone. Love is something to be. To try to hoard love from other beings in the form of having a lot of lovers, affairs outside marriages, demanding or expecting another to give us enough love and attention in the hope of building enough for oneself is to be totally mistaken. No human can ever give another enough to totally fulfill him or her. We need to transcend to being love, then the need to hoard love shall vanish.

Here is an example of this state of being love:
A rose smells good; that is its essence, its nature, its state of being. It does not matter if someone comes to sniff it or not. It just continues to ooze the same amount of scent. It will not produce less because no one is interested in sniffing it. At the same time, if more people sniff it, its status will not change either. It will not become less with too much use. A single rose abundantly oozes enough scent to fill multitudes.

So it is with the human. We each can have a field of love so abundant to fill us and glorify our environment and everything in it. In this state, a person will not crave for or demand another to give him or her love. He or she oozes love such that everyone in their life enjoys this love in whatever capacity of relationship they may share. In this, comes a fulfillment and a balance that defies human words. I believe this is nothing new; it is just that somewhere along the line we perverted our essence and now we don’t know what we are made of. You can obviously realize how important it is to be able to identify with our true love aspect. It is only in being reacquainted with this essence that we can become rational and appropriate in behavior.

We all know more than we can tell and we all think much more than we can disclose. Why? Because we have a capacity for this love that houses more than words can express. By allowing ourselves to experience this love our thoughts are in touch with much more wisdom than human language can express. What I am explaining here is only the little that my words are able to express. The rest can only be grasped through experiencing this love. Every one of us has a HUGE potential and can experience this love through our reception of it. This will develop our knowledge and give us the opportunity to experience real wisdom, bliss and whatever else we may want.

Love is in everything
True love is a state of being in everything. The best way to describe it is, look at a tree and hear it say, “I am love, I give my shade to anyone who comes to me for a little cooling and my shade will not become less because someone sat under me.”

You can choose to let what emanates from you to be love. When you radiate this and everyone and everything is doing the same we have equilibrium, as well as enjoyment of the boundless fruits of this love. This is the ultimate truth on love, any less and we are back on the road, searching for it. If you have not yet acquired the awareness of the state of love all you need to do is ask. Do not worry whom you are asking from, just express the genuine desire for this Divine Love.

This state feels trillions more pleasant compared to the little feelings we attach to loving or being loved by another human being. It is total bliss. Do not get me wrong, this state does not take away all the different types of love for our husbands, wives, children, parents, etc., but we will experience these with a purity and completeness that defies our present experiences. It is experiencing love from a different point of view.

After experiencing this state, I put my mind on people who annoy me and I felt none of the annoyance. Hard feelings simply do not exist in this state. I felt a complete, unpretentious forgiveness, a feeling of great understanding of human shortcomings.
I felt total understanding and acceptance for anyone who cannot reciprocate the love they feel emanating from me. That which emanated from me, fulfilled me, and I felt happy to be there to release it.

I opened my eyes again and the reality of love was still with me. I spent the day contemplating all possibilities. Love has been perverted, and in the name of love, we have created control, greed and dependency, but it should not be that way.

I also realized that the ratio of the field of love to the body also represents the vastness of our creative potential and wisdom. We have limited our state of “being love” to believing and have brought it down to a capacity we can receive from another human being, consequently limiting our creative potential.

Love is a purely creative force that requires a stable non-competitive environment. When we cuddle a baby, we envelope it in this cloud of love. That helps it to be stronger, protects it against negative vibrations, and keeps it balanced until it is strong enough and developed enough to use its own energies for these tasks. This goes for projects too because projects are like babies, they need special creative care, which equals concentration, and concentration equals directing of the creative force, which is love.
Love is an essence we receive from Infinity and it is the greatest of all vibrations. It is POWERFULNESS!
It comes with it WISDOM. It is the God essence. When we allow love to flow in us it brings wisdom to our thoughts and this is how all answers are within.

love is unification, its about being one, loosing sense of you being someone or something, its about getting absorbed in the perfect whiteness and become the same(white since it consists of everything).
it is here when you loose your virginity, when a spark of light evades your self, your long saved sacred darkness, where you yourself are this darkness and emptiness(the virginity), and then you cannot prevent yourself from getting this light and merging with this whiteness.
to learn to love, loose yourself. one needs to surrender totally oneself and loose the sense of being. forget that you are a man, and that you do have any existence(and if you think it is, check with yourself, what is it and surprise yourself.)
now you are either nothing or everything, the ever pervading. you are god.

forgive and forget.

Have a question related to this question.

I love the idea of love and would love to experience it,however i don’t open up to people, that is the reason i don’t have a single close friend.

But don’t know how i will be able to love without opening up and trusting.How do i learn to love and trust?

Love is. Is this the final of your novel “The witch of Portobello”? Love is a wonderful filling, that can give us powers we dont know that exists. Can surprise us continually. At times I just wonder if is me that changed and feel things differently, or I just found new feelings ? I will ask if somebody have any idea if Love can have a limit? Or it is an endless feeling, infinite as the Universe,eternal as God? At times, reading novels by so called intellectual writers, moderns, I am ready to agree that at times is us to convince ourselves to love a person. At times, I feel that I do that. But other times I think it just happens, with not control, we love.

why did not write anyone something??
i think love is endless & meaningless .. But we can’t explain it..
Because love is sometimes yellow, sometimes me, sometimes songs, sometimes sleeping, sometimes my mom…
Yes love is an energy from us to universe… Is it cool or so sick?
