A Nice Article about Love (by Swami Vivekananda)


I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me. Once when we weresitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her handwith some water and held it before me, and said this: "You see thiswatercarefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love." This was how I saw it: As long as you keep your hand caringly open andallow 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 spillthroughthe 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 waterspillingout of your hand, love will retrieve from you.

For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature. If there arepeople 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 totrulypractice. It is the secret to true love. To truly practice it, you mustsincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet anunconditional caring." Passing thought... Life is not measured by the number of breaths wetake;but by the moments that take our breath away..... The Best Love Quote Ever Heard ................"I will remember that person not as the one who broke my heart, but astheone who taught me how to live with a broken heart !!!!! "

Video of the Commencement address. I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories. The first story is about connecting the dots. I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out? It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I shou...

As he says in the movie, it's not about how hard you get hit. It's about how you take the hit. TM of the evening, ………… Life will throw you a lot of hits. This can be physical or mental.
