people often talk about love, but most of us are not fully aware about its true essence. there is lot of misconception about efficacy of love that holds us back to generate loving feelings towards others.
人们总在谈论爱，但多数人没有真正意识到爱的精髓。对于爱的作用有很多误读，这种误读让我们重新定位对他人的爱，这种爱出自内心。
love is not possessiveness. people look love as a possession that has to be acquired and preserved. to expect that others ought to provide it to us so that our life is filled with love is the biggest fallacy, which is cause of much unhappiness. it is not like any other material thing to be demanded from others. even if other person offers us plenty of love, we may not be able to feel it. it is normal to blame others for not loving us, but much depends on our inner self whether it has capability to feel it from others.
爱不是占有欲。人们将爱看成一种私有财产而去获取和收藏。人们期待他人给自己以爱，以便自己的生活为爱所围绕，这是一个最大的错误，这是导致很多痛苦的原因。这种爱不像来自婚姻的爱，来自婚姻的爱是你索要的。即使他人施舍我们大量的爱，我们却无法感知。责怪他人没有给予我们爱是不正常的，但对爱的感知更多取决于内在的自我，看它是否有能力感知来自他人的爱。
love is a feeling of well being and of good emotions. it is an activity that keeps us in good spirit and is liked to our emotions. let us engage and create feeling of love by making self capable through appropriate changes in our dealings with others. there is no other way to love and be loved. the physical intimacy devoid of good feelings is not love but lust. people often fail to conceive love as pious in essence. while dealing with others, let us take care that our dealings make them cheerful, by helping them to come out of their problem, appreciate their successes and be grateful for help received from them. all these activities are to express love. the benefit of giving love to others is that it appeals to our heart and makes us connected to others, provides stability and security, removes fear and gives a feeling of being good towards other people. one can get to know love by first generating such feelings of being good to others. how can a person feel love from others if he is filled with ego, anger and selfish tendencies? these negative emotions suppress inner urge to love others.
爱是一种安宁和良好的感觉。它是一种使我们精神平和，类似于其他情感的活动。让我们身心投入地创造一种爱，它会使我们有能力作出恰当的改变，这种改变关乎于同他人良好关系的处理。爱和被爱没有其他的途径。缺乏良好感觉的身体亲密接触，不是出自爱，而是出自欲望。人们通常不把爱想象成一种精致的信仰。在同他人交往的过程中，我们得谨慎地处理好这种关系。通过我们帮助他们走出困境，赏识他们的成功，对来自他们的帮助表示感恩之情。这样做的目的是使他们快乐。所有这些活动都是爱的表达。给他人以爱是有好处的。它给我们内心以迷恋的情愫，使我们走近他人，给他们提供稳定的安全保障，消除他们同别人交往时的恐惧，并使他们心情舒适。一个人可以首先通过这种舒适的心情的产生来认识爱，来对他人示以友善。如果一个人心中只装有自我、只有愤怒以及自私的倾向，如何能从他人身上感到爱意？这些负面的情感压制着自己内心的去爱他人的欲求。
love is a divine energy. i had a very vague idea about love initially. as i tried to understand more about it, a completely different perspective and thinking develops that explains the true essence of love. i have come to know from spiritual literature that love is nature and nature is love. it appears too abstract in the first instance, but more we tend to think of nature will make us to love nature and all other creations of nature. it is like energy flowing within us derived from ultimate that thinks positive and helps in inner purification. albert einstein discovered energy mass equation that explains interconnection of material and energy. it revolutionized the thinking of present century by using a small amount of mass to derive a tremendous energy. hence, along with our material existence, somewhere we are also part of the divine energy lying within us as dormant. logically, this divine energy which is nothing but love brings us close to ultimate. i can imagine that every one of us has a great capacity of this divine love within us, but it is hidden, untapped and misdirected. great saints have worked on human beings from time to time by developing intense feeling of love and concern for others. this has helped them to achieve higher levels of spiritual growth and closeness with the ultimate. the true meaning of love is inner purification of soul. this is the real purpose of love.
爱是一种神圣美好的力量。我开始对爱只有一种模糊的想法。当我试图了解爱更深层次的含义时，一个完全不同的视角和思想的产生解释了爱的真正精髓。 我从阅读灵性文学认识到，爱即造物主，造物主即爱。开始，这看起来似乎很抽象，但是我们越想着造物主，造物主就使我们更加热爱他及他所创造的万物。这就像在我们身体中流动的能量，这种能量来自人体的终极境界。它积极地给身体以思考，而且净化我们的内心。阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦发现了能量质量方程，它解释了物质和能量之间的交互关联。它革命性地告知人们，当今世界可以用最小量的物质产生巨大的能量。 因此，同物质的存在一样，我们身体的某一个地方，一部分神圣的力量在主宰着我们。从逻辑上讲，这种神圣的力量就是爱，它使我们无限地接近终极境界。我可以想象， 我们每个人内心都有这种神圣的爱的力量，但它是隐藏着的，原封未动的而且收到错误的引导。贤达之人一直在研究人类，他们的目的是开发人类浓烈的爱的情感和对他人的关爱之情。这使得他们成就了更高的精神修为水准，而且距离终极境界更近。 爱的真正含义是灵魂和内心的纯净。这才是爱的真正目的。
we imagine women in love as beautiful, sacrificing and never arguing. the media depicts love based on physical attraction. in actual life situation, things are different. love does not mean that there will not be any differences and the other person will always remain dumb. it does not mean that a person not very handsome or beautiful will be less attractive and loving in nature. the attractiveness of a person is depicted from overall personality that is a combination of physical looks, positive attitude and confidence. the love stories as reflected in media and narrated by other persons do mostly narrate physical aspect of love. it does not emphasize on the emotional closeness and spiritual part of the love which is more subtle and enduring. our perception of love is thus limited in nature.
我们想象恋爱中的女人是美丽的、富有牺牲精神的，而且从不争吵。媒体描述的爱是基于身体的吸引力。在现实生活中，情况大相径庭。爱并不意味着不存在分歧，而且另一半永远缄默不语。这也并不意味着另一半不英俊或不漂亮就缺少与生俱来的吸引力和可爱。一个人的吸引力被描述成个性的全面性，它是外貌、积极的态度以及自信的结合体。媒体中登载的或他人叙述的爱情故事大多数是叙述身体或外貌美的方面。他们没有强调情感上的亲近和爱的精神层面。这些方面更微妙和持久。我们关于爱的理解在本质方面很有限。

life is not always about happy or sad situation. it has its own moments of ups and down. how to adjust in each situation and take it in stride will greatly affect the quality of life and relationship with other people. the perception of love as being devoid of any problem, trouble and pain is thus misconception. people feel more and more pain as they are not able to live in love in relationship with other people. our perception of love has to change. we have to live with all the problems that we face in unison, sort out our differences and make change in our life style to bring semblance of love and tolerance in our attitude. we have to meet the need of soul to develop spiritual love for other persons which goes beyond the physical attraction.
生活不总是关于快乐和悲伤的情形。它有跌宕起伏的瞬间。怎样调整每一种情形并大踏步前进，这会影响生活的质量和同他人的人际关系。将爱的概念理解为爱可以消除问题、消除麻烦以及痛苦是一种误解。当人们不能同他人友爱相处，他们会感到越来越痛苦。我们对爱的认知不得不改变。我们不得不一起面对困难，求同存异，改变我们的生活方式，找到爱的相似点，容忍不同的生活态度。我们得满足我们灵魂的需求，促进彼此精神上的爱，让它超越我们身体的吸引。
让爱和信仰之心永驻身边
