The Art of Nourishing Oneself with Love
Can you please talk about
the art of nourishing oneself with love?
There is no art
because there is no need of any effort
Love is the nourishment
But humanity has been
so confused by its leaders
that one does not know
the most
the most inner realms of one's own being
Love is nourishment in itself
The more you love
the more you will find
untrodden spaces
where love goes on
and on spreading around you
like an aura
But that kind of love
has not been allowed by any culture
They have forced love
into a very small tunnel
you can love your wife
your wife can love you
you can love your children
you can love your parents
you can love your friends
And they have made two things
so deeply rooted in every human being
One is that love is something
very limited
friends, family, children
husband
wife
And the second thing they have insisted
is that there are many kinds of love
you love
You love in one way when you love your husband or your wife
then you have to bring another kind of love
when you love your children
and another kind of love
when you love your elders, your family
your teachers
and then another kind of love
for your friends
But the truth is
love cannot be categorized the way it has been categorized
throughout the whole history of mankind.
