Give Love to Get Love - Feeling of Not Being Loved - 25 Mar 08

25 Mar 2008  Vrindavan, India

Category: Love

Swami Ji

The most important thing in life is love. See how much love you have in your life. Do not put your focus on the small things that are not fine like unfriendly colleagues or that the neighbour did not greet you in the morning. See that there are people who love you. Be grateful for this love, feel it. It is the most wonderful thing when you have many people around who love you, everybody likes that. There are parents, siblings, friends, children.

Maybe some people can have the problem that they feel that there is nobody who loves them. Very often it is not really true, they sometimes do not want to see those who love them. These people are seeking for someone who loves them. But still, if you should be seeking for love, I say that you will never get love by begging. You only get love when you give love. Open yourself, find the love inside you and spread it. Then you will get love. If everybody loves each other in this way all these problems will be solved.

However it is also very important that those who love you also understand you. You can fall in love quickly but the understanding has to be there, too. I see a lot of times that two people like or even love each other but they do not really understand the soul of the other one. This creates problems, between couples as well as in any other relation. If you do not understand the way the other one is thinking and seeing the world it is difficult to know him. Even if there is love between two people it can happen that a relationship will break because they do not understand each other. Love and understanding, both is very important.

It seems like people who think that no one loves them are stuck in this mindset of feeling sorry for themselves. The mind has decided that there is no love and so they give no love. But if they could just open their eyes and reach out to someone, I think they would find love in return. Even a stranger could be loving if you start by giving love first.

Love is the way. That is all.

This has actually worked for me. I felt so down that I thought I'd never be happy again, and then I started volunteering and helping people out. I got right back on track with myself.

it is easier to dwell on painful experiences when you aren't used to having love in your life, even small things are painful sometimes and people hold onto them and become more and more unhealthy. it is sad.

Words of Wisdom

  • God

    Many people only say their prayers with rituals, when they are in temple or church or only pray if they have a mala. Praying with a mala is not wrong but it is not the only way. You don’t need a mala for praying. And you don’t need a church for getting in touch with God.

  • Fear

    Fear is an illusion and it spoils your life. If you are afraid, you cannot enjoy. You are fine and you are able to cope with the situations that life brings you. Have trust in whatever is out there in this universe. The whole world is there for you, not against you. Let your fear go. Live.

    Source
  • Personal

    I love smiling and have the habit of laughing :)

    Source
  • Religion

    In the history of mankind, many religions have died and with time, the present religions will become a part of history as well.

    Source
  • Religion

    Religious belief and superstition can hurt the feelings of your friends.

    Source
  • Change

    If someone opens your eyes about a bad habit, an injustice from your side or a simple mistake, be happy about it! Be ready to change yourself for the better!

    Source
  • Closeness

    The base for strengthening an emotional connection is physical closeness. For any close emotional relation you need to be close physically.

    Source
  • Happiness

    For many people the happiness of others is a bigger reason to be sad than their own problems.

    Source
  • God

    You cannot bargain with God and give a big donation for a big wish and a few coins for a small one. You give it to the temple, not to God. God doesn’t care about money.

    Source
  • Relationship

    Bonding a relation in terms like 'open', 'short term' or 'long term relationship' shows your insecurity and your doubts. It sounds like a contract. This may suit business relations but it doesn’t fit if you want to establish a relation on the physical, emotional and soul level.

    Source
  • Happiness

    Making an effort to make your loved one happy makes you happy. This is love: you want to make your beloved happy.

    Source
  • God

    Someone tried justifying all gender differences by saying ‘god made women different’, not realizing that it could mean that men are the ones who are different as well.

    Source
  • Relationship

    When you expect your daughter- or son-in-law to be the same like you, you don’t even give the possibility and freedom to this fresh couple to develop that healthy relationship coming out of two different cultures.

    Source
  • Love

    God is love and love is God. The definition that you give for ‘God’ you can also give for love. God is infinite. Love too. There is no end and no limit. Love cannot be finished, it is simply impossible.

    Source
  • Personal

    Don’t leave anybody for too long, otherwise they get used to living without you.

    Source
  • Happiness

    Unhappy? Not satisfied? A change of Perception might help! Life is beautiful, you just need to see it from the right place!

    Source
  • Gurus

    Religion is like politics. It is a dictatorship with the Guru or leader being the dictator setting the rules. Start a spiritual revolution and come out of this suppression. Go towards real spirituality, towards democracy, where your voice is being heard.

    Source
  • Respect

    When you feel that a person is not respectful towards you, remember that he probably doesn’t even feel any respect for himself, so it is difficult to feel it for you.

    Source
  • Belief

    People who are really religious have a strong belief that nothing happens without God’s wish. So if you really think this, how come you get so excited and even angry if someone does not share your belief? Don’t you think that this, too, is God’s wish?

    Source
  • Experience

    Experiences are for experiencing, not for speaking about them.
