But the way I experience life is that are still always one or few persons in our lives that make being in this state of agape a natural thing. As if their presence is a blessing just for you. Agape is just there when you are together with them. You don’t even have to try. It’s like this one/few persons makes us feel closer to god/the godess, bring us closer to the Beloved. Some people makes us able to experience god in a more intimate way than we did before. In the eyes of my greatest love I see the eyes of God looking at me ever so clearly. So maybe agape is about getting intimate with God/Love trough another human.

good night to you, all my fellow soul-diggers x

Je pars pour Compostelle le 13 Septembre cela fait 15 ans que j’attendais ce moment , c’est difficelement explicable ce qui nous pousse à partir …

Very interesting what you say of not claiming authorship of books, to prevent one from getting a big head! In fact I know artists never sign religious icons… you know painted on wood in Greece and Russiah, I believe because they are regarded Holy Images.

Giggles. How cute, your Aksh telling you too to meditate/pay attention :) The reason I remembered the names is it caught my attention you have picked names, both beginning with an A. (for Attention :)) What a lovely picture of you catching your son, to prevent him from falling. Prem in real life!

Yes, Love and Gratitude, a perfect greeting :)

You’re full of great ideas Aditya :)

That’s Amore!

Thank you for your letter. I was actually very surprised that you asked me that question! Paying attention, I believe I do recall your sons name being Prem.

Wonderful story Aditya, yes indeed we learn from everything and everyone!

Prem ;)

“Maybe in another life, he became a woman ” with a name Annie or maybe shifted base and became heart or carolena.

thanks for your heartfelt words ! must have had some ‘good karmas’ in my karma bank to have ‘met’ so many lovely, brilliant people here, and heart u are the heart of the group. yes i am from india, and indian culture so rich in its expereince, is dateless. in india even teh ggreates of books were written ( actually spoekn ) in such a manner that claiming authorship was impossible. people used to write srutis ( what they heard ) and smritis ( what they remember having heard ), idea was to stop ego from bloating.

As carolena has said in our country love is called prem. i was amazed that u remembered the name of my two sons, i mentione dtheir names because in a way they have helped me grow, all that we hear, read, discuss is theory, practicle comes in real life, and no better teacher than kinds when u are trying to teach them something. u know once when aksh was about 3 years old, we were taking a walk in rain soaked walkway in an undulating garden. Aksh slipped, but before he could fall, i caught his arm. then chided him ” u must pay attention ” in hindi the word for attention is same as word for meditation. I told him ” dhayn rakho, kepp attention ” he replied back saying ” papa, dhyan rakha nahin jaata, dhyan sambhalna parta hai ” meaning one must nurture a meditative state. i have not been able to forget that lesson.

love & gratitude as annie says

Thank you so much for that Wonderful information! That was great!

Yes that version I also had not heard, I like it too! :D

The celestial world fascinates me!

Amore, yes it’s all the same! A language understood by all! ;)

S agapo kopelas! :)

Yes, ‘every word that means Love, is so beautiful..’. Often the language of love is completely silent, with no words, or just expressed by body language or facial/hands expressions. The Greeks certainly have educated the entire World about so many things. And you and Thelma ‘educate’ us/share with us about love all the time… and you are two Greek gemstones :)

S agapo poli mikroteri athelfi.

Long time…but I see you all the time :) Heart to heart is the most beautiful encounters, and so it is to find what’s in the heart of the hearts in the depth of ourselves. It’s when something deep in our heart meet something deep in somebody else’s heart, divine connections occur. Heart and Hurt? Because only God can love us perfectly, and we long to be with Him/Her, and we are not there yet. So the original sin ruined the pure love, and all we have left is reflections of what we will receive in the heaven of heavens. ‘Better to have love and lost than never loved at all’.

I guess Amor must be Latin, while Eros, Philos & Agape originated in the Greek language, two cultures both helping us on our way to find divine love. Why I like Amor? Because for almost 30 years I’ve been fascinated with Brazilian culture, and each time I read some article from there, it is AMOR being used, without splitting it up into some literary definition, but in a very lively, rich, colorful, happy, joyful, playful way. They even have Amor when they play football in Brazil. Hehe. Not to hurt Thelma or Annie, the Greek spirituality is a bit too serious at times. I just adore the Latin dance and liveliness (is that a word?).

Aditya, I’m not sure if my understanding is correct, that you are from India? Your culture goes even deeper, even further back than the Greek/Latin. Tell us what word you use for Love? Sometimes I make little notes about the blog, and I did write down the name of your two sons; Aksh who is 8 years and Abhuday 6 months. I imagine you as a dad. Such a wonderful dad! What would you call your love for your sons?

I’m sorry about your hurts in your heart. It will all heal with time. Treasure every little moment of Amor you receive from life. You never know when and where it happens, but it is sure worth living for.

Much love,
Heart

prem !!! ???

thanks for teaching me Amore ;-) !!
