A Student Asks a Teacher About Love

The student asks the teacher. I don't know how to love and don't feel, sympathize with, or feel the pain of my loved ones. Can we love people and stick to them? Is it possible not to hurt when they are suffering? Is it possible to not accept their suffering and sorrow? Is it possible to stay obsessed with their physical presence in our lives? And is that even better?

The teacher replied: compassion ... involves involvement. Weaving occurs. Probably just a few threads, perhaps more, probably the whole tapestry. Experience the connection is the greatest gift of life.

Jiddu Krishnamurti once asked his students, what do you want to know about my secrets? To peace and happiness? I don't care what happens. He was a man of great faith and love, but his faith and trust were so great that he could trust the development even when his appearance was sad.

It is possible, but desirable, to develop a coping mechanism that prevents the people we love from feeling pain when suffering. Is it good when we deny what we feel? I have a better question. How does it follow us intensely?

Emotions allow for witnesses and accompaniments that cannot otherwise occur, but do not have to suffer. Can not. Too easy it could be crushed and then we are not good for anyone.

We must cooperate with the spirit of love, the spirit of life itself. The universe has the ability to hold weight on our behalf. The question looks like this: Are you reliable enough to start that level of collaboration?

Love is exactly what gives life meaning, purpose and fulfillment in all its forms. I want. If we really want to be happy, love and live together, sacred collaboration is not a decision to make something that already exists. It is a spiritual life. Our good aspiration for those we love and care about is prayer, which involves all the days of their lives. It is a living prayer and continuous.

The stars in the sky remind you of this and share the light from the ancient sun that may no longer exist, but the light will last forever. Love is like that. Prayer is like that. The contribution of living breathing to the whole will last forever.

Love is what we are, we are here, and so is it. Not doing so will reveal the very purpose of creation. So the problem is not good or bad, right or wrong. The questions are even bigger. Do you love as much as we can? How do we navigate love harder?

And finally, if all our mechanisms and models and voyage practices are too loved and crushed, is that a bad end?
