Don't miss an opportunity to love

…A great lover is always ready to give love and does not bother about whether it is reciprocated. It's always reciprocated, that's the nature of things. It is like going to the mountains and singing a song and the valleys respond.

Have you heard the echo in the mountains? You shout and the valleys shout or you sing and the valleys sing. Every heart is a valley. If you pour love into it, it will love back.

The first lesson of love is not to ask for love, but simply to give. Become a giver.

People do the exact opposite. Even when they give, they do so only with the idea that love should be returned. It's a deal. They don't share, they don't share freely. Share under conditions. They keep watching out of the corner of their eye to see if love returns or not. Many poor people... do not know the natural operation of love. You just pour it out, it will come.

And if it does not come, there is nothing to worry about, because the lover knows that to love is to be happy. If it comes, good - then the happiness will be multiplied. But even if it never comes, in the very act of loving one becomes so happy, so ecstatic, that who worries about whether it comes back?

Love has its own happiness. It happens when you love. No need to wait for the result. Just start loving. In the end, you will see much more love coming back to you. One loves and understands that love is only through loving. As one learns to swim by swimming, so by loving - loves.

People are very tight-lipped. They are waiting for some great love to appear and then they will love. They remain closed, they remain isolated. They are just waiting. Some Cleopatra will come from somewhere and then they will open their hearts, but by then they will have completely forgotten how to open them.

Don't miss an opportunity to love. Even walking down the street, you can love. You can be loving even to a beggar. You don't need to give him anything; you can smile at least It costs nothing, but your smile opens your heart, makes it more alive. Hold someone's hand - a friend's or a stranger's. Don't wait to love when you meet the right person. You won't meet him like that.

Keep loving. The more you love, the more likely you are to meet him, because your heart begins to blossom. And the blooming heart attracts many bees, many beloved.

You are trained in a very wrong way. First, everyone lives under the false impression that they are already loving. Just by being born you think you are loving. It is not that simple. Yes, there is potential, but potential must be trained, disciplined. There is a seed, but it must mature into a flower.

You may continue to carry the seed; but no bee will come. Have you seen bees landing on seeds? Don't they know that seeds can become flowers? They know, but they come when the seeds have become flowers. Become a flower, don't remain a seed.
