Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming
pool, she filled the palm of her hand with some water
and held it before me, and said this:
"You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love."
This was how I saw it: As long as you keep your hand
caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will
always be there. However, if you attempt to close your fingers round
it and try to posses it, it will spill through the first cracks it
finds.
This is the greatest mistake that people do when they
meet love...they try to posses it, they demand, they expect... and
just like the water spilling out of your hand, love will retrieve from you .
For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its
nature. If there are people you love, allow them to be
free beings.
Give and don't expect.
Advise, but don't order.
Ask, but never demand.
It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may
take a lifetime to truly practice. It is the secret to
true love. To truly practice it, you must sincerely
feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet
an unconditional caring."
Hi,everyone should read this.Really nice.
A student asks a teacher, "What is love?"
The teacher said, "in order to answer your question,
go to the padi field and choose the biggest paddy
and come back. But the rule is: you can go through
them only once and cannot turn back to pick." The
student went to the field, go thru first row, he saw
one big paddy, but he wonders....may be there is a
bigger one later. Then he saw another bigger one...
but may be there is an even bigger one waiting for
him.
Later, when he finished more than half of the padi
field, he start to realize that the padi is not as
big as the previous one he saw, he
know he has missed the biggest one, and he
regretted. So, he ended up went back to the teacher
with empty hand.
The teacher told him, "...this is love... you keep
looking for a better one, but when later you
realize, you have already miss the person...."
"What is marriage then?" the student asked.
The teacher said, "in order to answer your question,
go to the corn field and choose the biggest corn and
come back. But the rule is: you can go through them
only once and cannot turn back to pick." The
student went to the corn field, this time he is
careful not to repeat the previous mistake, when he
reach the middle of the field, he has picked one
medium corn that he feel satisfied, and came back
to the teacher.
The teacher told him, "this time you bring back a
corn.... you look for one that is just nice, and you
have faith and believe this is the best one you
get.... this is marriage."
