Wow. Good for him. (We'll all benefit of that, I am sure)
I just came to say that reason, and jnana are just as good tools as the heart and bhakti. Not necessarily opposing ones.

"What is love? Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me no more..." YouTube - Haddaway - What Is Love
Sorry, couldn't help it.

OK, so you know you are my absolute hero now right?!?
I don't even need to link because I can sing almost all of this crappy song from memory! I even have the background vocals dialed!

Erm, given the most sacred nature of the subject, from now on, I ask everyone to perform aswimi-mudra when writing into this thread.

The problem with love is that you can love things in a wrong way. And when you do that, you will end up losing your Self, unless you use discrimination and dispassion, so the Self comes first, and the "things" you love are second.
But because we do not know the Self, loving is always a risk, and you might be deceived greatly. The most important difference between love and attachment is our capacity to let the object of our love go. If you cannot let something go, that is attachment. If you can let it go, but you chose not to for the sake of that thing ot person, than it is love. Love is a deliberate act, and only well grounded in our higher Self we can be totally safe from attachment.

Because of this, everyone's duty is to come as close to the higher Self and our best shape and form as flesh, vitality, soul and ego, as we can, because this way we do less damage both to us and other people. Serving someone, something because you are attached to that thing or person, is bondage, no matter what ideology or instinct is behind it.

I feel like two pitbulls just had a fight in my bowels. I really need some rest, if I continue this way, I will never be able to create that beautiful flower in my heart.

PS, Sometimes the deception is so well crafted that you almost touch some dark presence behind it. When you end up breaking every rule you know, losing everything good, and finally realize that you really did not recieve anything for it ... that is damnation. I was close, too darn close to that.

I see good answers to the question!!! Love is such a huge word! Does it have anything to do with light? Attraction? What does the essence of love look like? I Love everything and everyone, and, yes, I can easily depart without the pains of attachment.

I always felt that love was the greatest bonding force of them all.

Oh Yeah..."What is Love...Baby don't hurt me...don't"
LOL

Heres another one "What's love got to do...got to do...got to do with the emotion".
LOL

Best Regards,

Love is beautiful, and I am more and more absorbed by it. I really have nothing else, nowhere to go, no place to rest, but there, where this love shines.
I'll be seeing you.
