ONLY A CONTENTED HEART CAN LOVE

Only a contented heart can love that’s why you see in the world everybody wants to love and to be loved. But it does not happen, it cannot happen because the basic requirement is missing. without a background of deep contentment one is not capable of sharing love. love is the fragrance of the flower of contentment and if the flower is not there, you can pretend. At the most you can deceive others and yourself but it is not going to fulfill. Pretensions can’t help, one remains frustrated.
Everybody is trying to give love. But in fact what people give to each other is only misery, not love. lovers become imprisonments to each other they don’t become freedom and love makes the other absolutely free. But because love is not there the pseudo love simply tries to possess the other and the moment you possess the other you are insulting the other because you are trying to make a property of the other this is the greatest insult hence lovers continuously quarrel
for the simple reason that both are trying to possess each other both are desiring the other both are trying to use the other as a means for their own ends this is not love this is something very unloving it may be even hatred masquerading as love it is violence - but the label is beautiful but labels are labels. When you taste the content then it is poison so the honeymoon is over the moment you have gone beyond the label when you have opened the container the honeymoon is over and the misery begins all so-called love creates misery in the world for the simple reason that we have not prepared the ground for it in my observation only a contented heart can share love because he has so much joy to share
he is not a beggar so he is not asking give me love he simply gives because he has so much he is like a raincloud so full of rainwater he has to shower he does not make the other feel obliged to him either in fact he feels obliged that the other accepted his gift he could have rejected when love comes out of your abundance not out of an empty heart which wants somehow to stuff itself with something when it comes as an overflowing joy then only it gives freedom
then only it creates a paradise around itself wherever a man of contentment is, there is paradise it has been said in the past that the contented people enter into paradise I say that is not right
the contented people don’t enter paradise the contented people, wherever they are create paradise you can throw them in hell and they will create paradise there.
