🌿 Let’s Begin Here
Dear one, love is such a tender, luminous gift—yet it can feel so fragile when we seek approval in return. It’s natural to want to be seen and cherished, but when love depends on validation, it becomes a chain instead of wings. I see your heart reaching out, wanting to love freely without the weight of expectation. This is a beautiful journey, one where love blossoms from within, steady and pure. Let’s walk this path together gently.
🕉️ Timeless Words
सर्वभूतस्थमात्मानं सर्वभूतानि चात्मनि।
ईक्षते योगयुक्तात्मा सर्वत्र समदर्शनः॥
(भगवद्गीता 6.29)
sarvabhūtasthamātmānaṁ sarvabhūtāni cātmani |
īkṣate yogayuktātmā sarvatra samadarśanaḥ ||
Chapter 6, Verse 29
“The yogi, united with the Self, sees the Self dwelling equally in all beings, and all beings dwelling in the Self; with equal vision everywhere.”
This verse teaches us that true love arises when we see ourselves and others as one, without clinging or craving. When love is rooted in this deep unity, it flows freely, without needing validation.
🪬 Guiding Lights
- True love is unconditional — it gives without expecting anything back.
- When you see yourself and your beloved as reflections of the same divine essence, attachment softens.
- Let your love be a river, flowing naturally, not a well that demands to be filled.
- Practice self-love and acceptance first; your heart’s fullness lessens the need for external approval.
- Be present in the moment of loving, rather than caught in thoughts about how it is received.
🌊 Inner Dialogues
You might be hearing that quiet voice inside: “Am I enough? Do they really care? What if they don’t love me back the way I want?” These doubts can feel like shadows over your heart. It’s okay to feel this way — it means you are deeply human and longing to be truly seen. But remember, your worth is not measured by their response. Your love is a light that shines regardless.
📿 What He Would Say...
“Beloved soul, love me not for what you receive, but for what you are — a spark of the eternal. When you love without grasping, you touch the infinite. Let your heart be a temple where love dwells freely, without chains. Trust that your love itself is the blessing, and in that trust, find your peace.”
🌱 A Familiar Story
Imagine a student who loves learning — not for grades or praise, but for the joy of discovery. When the student studies with pure curiosity, the knowledge flows effortlessly, and confidence grows quietly inside. But when the student only studies to get approval, stress and fear cloud the joy. Love is much like this — when it’s free of craving, it becomes a joyful exploration, not a performance.
