  Sharma : Namaste

Unconditioned conditioned!!

Sharma said Mar 22, 2007, 12:10 AM:

 

Why do we talk of unconditional love, when it is we, who put conditions to love. Is it some type of solace to ourselves or some repenting over past deeds of repulsing love of those who wanted to give it unconditionally. I want to give unconditionally, can you receive? You want to give unconditionally, can I receive? Is this unconditional thing possible or it is yet another unconditional conditioned with a star mark on side and a note 'Terms and conditions apply' and all of them detailed in finer print.

Your timing is so perfect on this.  I am re-reading “the path to love' by Deepak Chopra. 

I think that love is simply love.  It isn't conditional.  It isn't unconditional.  It is infused within every single thing and it is our ability to receive and to honor that becomes the question.

I think so many people look everywhere outside themselves to find and define love.  That is the conditional reaction to a wound not attended to.  Our capacity to stand without guard and simply open our arms to the love that is in all things…… that is the surrender of a life time and one worthy of anything it takes to get to that point.

The longer folks jump from one thing to the next to fill that space inside or to validate our worthiness, the longer they will hurt and crumble.

Love has no conditions.  Love is not unconditional.  It is the source that sparks the divine in all of us.  It just is!

I love that you offered this Mahesh!
