Definition of Love.

How do you define love?
Some say it's mysterious, magical, complex,

difficult, imaginary, thought-provoking,
inspirational, intuitional, joyous, immeasurable,
ecstasy, and undefinable. Perhaps.
In one of Dr. John Gray's audio cassettes he defines
love as follows: "Love is a feeling directed at
someone which acknowledges their goodness."
On the same cassette, he refers to the definition by
M. Scott Peck: "The willful intent to serve the well
being of another."
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it
does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is
not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps
no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth. It always protects,
always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. - 1
Corinthians 13:5-7
My favorite is by Paramahansa Yogananda: "To
describe love is very difficult, for the same reason
that words cannot fully describe the flavor of an
orange. You have to taste the fruit to know its
flavor. So with love."
Love itself is a universal experience. Yet, every
individual occurrence - while perhaps bound by a
common thread - seems absolutely unique. Love is
what love is! To everyone it expresses itself
differently.
"All You Need is Love!"

The Beatles
"All You Need Is Love" was written by John

Lennon and Paul McCartney for the "Our
World" live television spectacular performed
by the Beatles in June, 1967. 400 million
people around the world saw the program. The
number was included on the Yellow Submarine
album.
Love is the answer to "all" questions!

It is important to stand in Love, not fall into it.
Love is waking up to find the object of your
affection in the dream you were having asleep
on your shoulder.
Could it be that Love is a story that can never
be fully expressed?
Love is a bond or connection between two
people that results in trust, intimacy, and an
interdependence that enhances both
partners.
Love is the ability and willingness to allow
those you care for to be what they choose for
themselves, without any insistence that they
satisfy you. - Leo Buscaglia
Making Love is the highest level and the most
loving way we can physically express or
demonstrate our Love for our love partner.
Everyone knows that the sexual experience
can be the single most loving, most exciting,
most powerful, most exhilarating, most
renewing, most energizing, most affirming,
most intimate, most uniting, most stress-
relieving, most recreative physical experience
of which humans are capable.
When you tell someone something bad about
yourself and you're scared they won't Love
you anymore. But then you get surprised
because not only do they still Love you, they
Love you even more. - Matthew - age 7
Love is when your puppy licks your face even
after you left him alone all day. - Mary Ann -
age 4
Logic says everything in this world has a
cause and an effect. True Love is the only
feeling which is its own cause and its own
effect. It is something illogical and yet above
all logic. I Love her because I Love her, and I
Love her so I Love her. - Prateek Kumar Singh
Love is comforting someone in need of Love
and having them know that somebody cares.
Love is looking past imperfections in your
partner and seeing the beautiful person
inside. True love seeks the happiness and well
being of your partner. Love expresses itself in
the mutual respect you demonstrate to your
partner.
Guys, this one is for you! - Love is letting your
partner have the TV remote for 30 days!
Love must be experienced. Its meaning is
infinite and can never be totally defined.
The opposite of Love is fear. Think about it.
There is no fear in Love; but perfect love casts
out fear. - Bible
God is love.
Love is loving someone without expecting
anything in return; no judgments, no
restrictions; no limitations; no expectations!
True Love is the nature of bliss.
Love is expressed when you are being
someone who loves someone for who they
are, not who you think they should be.
I was nauseous and tingly all over. . . I was either in Love or I had
smallpox. - Woody Allen
Love seeks no cause beyond itself and no fruit; it is its own fruit,
its own enjoyment. I love because I love; I love in order that I may
love. - St. Bernard 1090-1153, French Theologian and Reformer
Teach only Love for that is what you are. - A Course In Miracles
Love is a decision.
If you want Love, you must first Love.

Love begets Love. You cannot deliver
from an empty wagon. You must first
learn to Love yourself before you can
give Love.
"If you Loved me, you would. . ." Not! Love is
not manipulative. It must never be used to
get others to do what you want. When you
Love someone you never ask them to sacrifice
a part of themselves in the name of Love. This
form of manipulation contaminates our Love
for another.
Can't Buy Me Love! - The Beatles
Love is to like with a great intensity.
True love has a foundation of integrity,
respect, faith and trust. Love is the force that
brings about unity and harmony.
Although love is at the root of our basic
nature, Love for another human being must
be cultivated. It takes time for Love to mature.
Is your love free and unconditional, or is it
mixed with various needs, conditions and
demands from your partner?
The road to self-discovery is paved with Love.
Love has no meaning other than the meaning
"we" give it.
Perhaps. . . Love just Is. While in its allness and in its nothingness,
all we need to do is simply let it Be.
To demonstrate Love. . . say, "I Love you" - outloud - at least once

each day to someone you love. There is magic in these three little
words. Saying "I love you" is the most beautiful gift you can give
to your partner. These words are the most treasured a person can
hear. To be different, say, "I Love you" in a foreign language.
What Is Love?
One must understand whether
"what is love" can be a question
which can be answered? Love
cannot be a question. For, if it is a
question then an answer should be
there. If the answer is there, where
is it? This question is ancient and an
answer should have been found by
now! If the answer has been found,
the question would have
disappeared.
But the question still remains,
meaning the answer has not been
found. If it has not been found as
yet, then what is the certainty that
it will be found? Maybe the mind
can never find the answer! A single
answer, which will please all minds,
is not possible for each mind has its
own ideas of love. Hence a
universal answer is an illusion.
Individual answers are there for
love and for this very reason there
are arguments about love for each
mind will contradict the answer of
another mind. This contradiction is
normal for each mind lives in a
different point in time. Hence "what
is love" is an illusionary question,
which has no answer! - Dr. Vijai S.
Shankar
