LOVING VERSUS LIKING


To love is a state of BEing, whereas to like is an action or a reaction.
True Love is a matter of the heart hence a quality of the individuality-self. Liking on the other hand solely an action/reaction on part of the personality-self. Which is why one can love someone, yet not necessarily personally like him/her as well.
One frequently hears people saying: “I would love such and such a person, if only you/he/she…” This cannot be true love then, but only a self-induced “love” rooted in personal expectations, beliefs and separation, bound to wreak disappointment/frustration in one or both parties involved.
In cultivating within you a state of love towards all forms of live, starting with yourself, you are not only rendering your everyday life more peaceful and enjoyable but also increase your receptivity for new experiences, making personal transformation possible.

Only when the reason for feeling loved is an all-encompassing, unconditional love that is being felt inside your own self, does love make you immortal. Of course, your Ego is still going to die its timely death but because you have released your fears death changes from a threat into a promise.
