One day a man
came on a protestant priest and asked him, “I’m really worried my wife and I
just don’t have the same feelings for each other we used to have. He continued
I just don’t love her anymore. What can I do?” After thinking a bit the priest
answered simple with two words “love her” and the man argued “the feeling just
isn’t there”. Then he replied promptly “then love her. If the feeling isn’t
there, that is a good reason to love her.”
The
point in this story that I personally see is that love is a verb and where there is no
love we need to act. Love is an action and therefore a verb. It is something that perhaps evolution of humanity evolved in us humans to fill our lives with bright colors and make our internal world better and also the outside world so we live in much better and happier life.
Another story of love is the following said by Osho
Nancy was having coffee with Helen.
Nancy asked, "How do you know your husband loves you?"
"He takes out the garbage every morning."
"That's not love. That's good housekeeping."
"My husband gives me all the spending money I need."
"That's not love. That's generosity."
"My husband never looks at other women."
"That's not love. That's poor vision."
"John always opens the door for me."
"That's not love. That's good manners."
"John kisses me even when I've eaten garlic and I have curlers in my hair."
"Now, that's love."l
That is the meaning when Jesus says, "God is love." I say to you: Love is God. God can be forgotten, but don't forget love -- because it is the purification of love that will bring you to God. If you forget about God completely, nothing is lost. But don't forget love, because love is the bridge. Love is the process of alchemical change in your consciousness.
