Disappointment in Love and Sadness because of Love - 28 Dec 09

28 Dec 2009  Vrindavan, India

Category: Love

Children at lunch

Today I received a mail and would like to reply it in this way. Of course I do not name anybody but the one person asking will get the answer and many others can also have a benefit of it. The person had sad experiences with love and asked for my opinion.

It happens that you love someone very dearly, you give everything that you have and you also believe that you are doing everything you can. In the end however, sometimes very suddenly, there comes disappointment. Big disappointment and big sadness because the other doesn’t respond with the same love, no, there seems to be nothing coming back.

Still you cannot stop loving, cannot stop the flow of love which you permitted so freely. You are asking yourself why you deserve this, it has maybe happened already several times! So maybe you are doing something wrong, there must be something wrong!

I would like to say you one thing: of course, you cannot force anybody to love someone, you cannot tell someone to love but you can be proud of your own love. Love your feelings, love and celebrate your love. You have to love yourself and be proud of the love that you can give to others. In other words you can say that you should love yourself. Never stop loving yourself in this frustration. At the right time you will meet the right person, there is nothing wrong with you and you don’t need to try stopping your love. Don’t create any guilt. Your love is great.

This is beautiful advice, Swami Ji. It can be very painful to give someone lots of love and not receive it in return. But, rather than being afraid to love again, we just have to be joyful and proud of our ability to love others. And one day, someone will enjoy receiving your love and giving it back!!

You shouldn't give up yourself to love. Love happens through the individual, the individual does not exist through love. Keep yourself- the only way to keep your love.

Be proud and confident in love! It brings joy and life!

Reply By Sherry on January 22, 2011 03:36


The fact that love moves so much is a cause of fear and fear can cause sadness. Sadness can cause fear. They are constantly in ebb.

But love IS sad. It's always coming and going. Of course there is sadness there.

Words of Wisdom

  • Sharing

    Sharing has a double effect: it decreases sadness and increases happiness!

    Source
  • Anger

    You have to accept your anger. It is a natural feeling, created by god. It is a negative feeling, yes, but you are not bad if you feel angry. It is there and you need to live it!

    Source
  • Knowledge

    It does not show intelligence if you make an easy topic difficult to understand but if you can present a difficult topic in easy words.

    Source
  • Anger

    Gyan Yogis say that there is no duality. Everything is one and everyone is the same because god is in everybody. So if God is in you, in me and in everyone around, against whom do you want to direct your aggression? Anger can only exist in duality. When everything is God, then everything is the same, everyone is love.

    Source
  • Love

    Don’t love with the condition that the other one acts the way you wish.

    Source
  • Sex

    If you work with sex, do it, but don't call a sex workshop a Tantra workshop!

    Source
  • Body

    Everybody has a heart and a soul. The body is the temple of our soul, in which it lives and we should be very respectful with it. We should not make an exhibition with it and we should not have rules to hide it. Both is not right and if you do one of both, you are disrespecting your body.

    Source
  • Psychology

    Don't take everything personal!

    Source
  • Death

    Death is the last event of our life and we should welcome it with open arms and a smile. Don't be afraid of life and don't be afraid of death.

    Source
  • Hope

    Hope is always good and it is part of having a positive attitude. Believing that the impossible will happen is either closing the eyes in front of reality or just stupid.

    Source
  • Magic

    There are no Siddhis or supernatural powers. I challenge anybody to show me those powers and their effect, good or bad. Can you tell me the lottery numbers or can you kill me only by the force of your mind? Try it.

    Source
  • Superstition

    In India people believe chicken pox is the anger of a goddess and you cannot do anything against it with medicine – you can only pray and do rituals to appease the goddess.

    Source
  • Relationship

    Many times relationships fail because there is no physical closeness. A relationship doesn’t work over phone or over internet. A lot of people try but our human nature is that you need someone close to you for a real connection.

    Source
  • Food

    Discipline is very important in our nutrition. Eat when you are hungry. Hunger can be in the eyes and in the mind, too, not only in your belly. Learn to distinguish that.

    Source
  • Religion

    You can turn Hinduism as you like, you can wish for whatever you want, heaven or liberation - it is flexible enough to grant you everything.

    Source
  • God

    If you don’t receive what you wished for, accept that it is God’s wish for you not to have it. He does what is best for you.

    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
  • Feelings

    You can trust people only when you know them and you can only get to know them if they show what they feel. So make a start and show what you feel.

    Source
  • Victim

    Many people try with force and effort to keep happiness away because they want to be victims. They are always sad and hurt, no matter what happens.

    Source
  • Yoga

    We should not say doing Yoga, but being in Yoga. When your soul wants to connect and unite with its source.
