It's not uncommon to hear someone gleam with pride when they describe their lover's or partner's undivided love for them- all the love personalized and customized just for a person- sounds tempting, doesn't it?
Most of us try consciously or subconsciously to bottle up all the love in a person's heart so that we mean the world to that someone special- so that we are the only visible thing on the Universe to them-for undivided attention and acceptance- Would our position in that heart be compromised if we give the space to accommodate anything else if not somebody else?
We fall in love with someone and the moment we realize we have owned our love- we take out all our secret and not so secret tools to sculpt them- to claim their copyright rules and start seeing the infinite number of changes required to make them perfect- to paint our perfect picture!
But at the end of all that work- we will be surprised at the startling result.
Now, let's see- whose love has been praised, admired and dreamed of the most,missed the most, since times unknown- the ultimate meaning, the towering image of divine love-no doubt- a mother's love-pure,divine,undiluted- UNCONDITIONAL LOVE!
Let's try and analyze why?- Could it be that a mother loves her child no matter what, that to her her child is always perfect as it is, that she is someone whom you can always run back to and you know that her doors will never be shut to you- because you know you can pursue your dreams and that her love will not be wavered- that it glows not like a candle, but like the sun!
Eternal and warm...
We often believe that if we let them pursue their dreams- we might lose our significance, that if they love their family and friends more-the love reserved for us may be compromised, that even the newspaper or a book can be a competition!So knowingly or unknowingly we limit their circle of love and dreams- till finally only we exist- but by then we would have extinguished the very glow we fell in love with in the first place and wonder what went wrong.
So, let's try this instead- let's try to help evolve a more loving person- someone who can still talk to their family and friends with as much love and enthusiasm as they please without apprehension, someone who can still pursue dreams- someone who wants you in his/her dreams along with the so many wonders of life. Let us not close their eyes, but open them to the joyous world- let us help them be more and more loving and compassionate and let us help them be a happier, truly luckier, compassionate person and encourage them to feel the radiance and joy flowing through their veins and let us join them in that pure joy of basking love- love flowing from every cell of their being!-There is enough love in a person for the whole Universe to rejoice...
The more you let them love, the more they can truly discover your love.
So, let's try not to cage that infinite love.
Let them free and fly along with them into that magical land,dreams soaring, hearts pounding,the wind in your lovely face !
'Let us not fall, but rise in love!'

Rise in love and not fall in love... Good one!
But, what about all those who fell in love?
Even if you did fall in love, you are lucky to have fell for someone who has helped you to fly high- Keep flying!
