What is love....

( I got this through the mail from one of my friends )


A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?"

The answers got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:

So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love."

Rebecca- age 8

You just know that your name is safe in their mouth."

And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge.

The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.

The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.

Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.

When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said,



" Nothing, I just helped him cry "

well....truly said..Hosh walo ko khabr kya..bekhudi kya cheez hai..it is no doubt very nice to be sometimes just let oneself in love..sounds a little crazy..but thats how the cosmic law works..and the same Jagjeet Singh is trying to say..so enjoy the song..with hearts..bcoz only with ears u will miss the treasure..

Living happy ever after,,,,OSHO

Rather than living completely separately just meet for two or three hours
everyday, and the remaining time be alone. You can use the frictions and the
situations that come up in your relationship and be alone too.

In fact whenever 2 people are in love, they should not be together for 24
hours. It is very very harmful to them, and more than that, it is harmful to
the love itself. People kill and destroy their love by being together too
much, because something deep down is violated.

Each is in need of a certain space, and lovers become too interfering in
each others lives, unknowingly of course. They love – so they want to cling
and interfere in each and everything – and that's how every love is
destroyed. Love can be tremendously beautiful if not destroyed. If it is
destroyed it can become the greatest hell there is.

As son as anger or irritation or a desire to be alone arises, you should
immediately separate for a time. Each person needs a physical and
psychological space to himself. Lovers should only meet again when they want
to be together very much, when it has become a really intense desire.

If you live alone too much you get bored. There is no excitement simply you,
you and you. It is monotonous, a single note. You want a change a little
spice. The other brings the change brings another world into your world, and
that is helpful.

If lovers can know this rhythm of being alone and together and constantly
move between the two……….

If the other person loves you he/she will respect your need and if you love
the other you will respect his/her need. If you don't allow the other person
space, by and by one becomes miserable and will escape completely. So give a
little space ….. don't cling.

The greater the freedom in love the greater the possibility of it remaining
forever and ever.

If you make the other happy, your own happiness grows and the other returns
it, and there is no end to it.

osho.

Amir Khusro-the great Sufi mystic

Khusro was a prolific classical poet associated with the royal courts of more than seven rulers of the
Delhi sultanate.His poetry is still sung today at Sufi shrines. Amir Khusro is credited with fashioning the tabla as a split version of the traditional Indian drum, the pakhawaj

Some samples of Khusro's poetry

Agar firdaus bar roo-e zameen ast,
Hameen ast-o hameen ast-o hameen ast.

If there is any paradise on the face of the earth,
It is this, it is this, it is this

ख़ुसरो दरिया प्रेम का, उलटी वा की धार,
जो उतरा सो डूब गया, जो डूबा सो पार.

Khusro dariya prem ka, ulṭī vā kī dhār,
Jo utrā so ḍūb gayā, jo ḍūbā so pār.

Khusro! the river of love has a reverse flow
He who enters will drown, he who drowns will get across.

सेज वो सूनी देख के रोवुँ मैं दिन रैन,
पिया पिया मैं करत हूँ पहरों, पल भर सुख ना चैन.
Sej vo sūnī dekh ke rovun main din rain,
Piyā piyā main karat hūn pahron, pal bhar sukh nā chain.

Seeing the empty bed I cry night and day
Calling for my beloved all day, not a moment's happiness or rest.

छाप तिलक सब छीनी रे मोसे नैना मिलाइके
प्रेम भटी का मदवा पिलाइके
मतवारी कर लीन्ही रे मोसे नैना मिलाइके
गोरी गोरी बईयाँ, हरी हरी चूड़ियाँ
बईयाँ पकड़ धर लीन्ही रे मोसे नैना मिलाइके
बल बल जाऊं मैं तोरे रंग रजवा
अपनी सी रंग दीन्ही रे मोसे नैना मिलाइके
खुसरो निजाम के बल बल जाए
मोहे सुहागन कीन्ही रे मोसे नैना मिलाइके
छाप तिलक सब छीनी रे मोसे नैना मिलाइके

Chhāp tilak sab chīnī re mose nainā milāike
Bāt atham keh dīnī re mose nainā milāike
Prem bhaṭī kā madvā pilāike
Matvālī kar līnhī re mose nainā milāike
Gorī gorī baīyān, harī harī chuṛiyān
baīyān pakaṛ dhar līnhī re mose nainā milāike
Bal bal jāūn main tore rang rajvā
Apnī sī kar līnhī re mose nainā milāike
Khusro Nijām ke bal bal jaiye
Mohe suhāgan kīnhī re mose nainā milāike
Bāt atham keh dīnī re mose nainā milāike

You've taken away my looks, my identity, by just a glance.
By making me drink the wine from the distillery of love
You've intoxicated me by just a glance;
My fair, delicate wrists with green bangles in them,
Have been held tightly by you with just a glance.
I give my life to you, Oh my cloth-dyer,
You've dyed me in yourself, by just a glance.
I give my whole life to you Oh, Nijam,
You've made me your bride, by just a glance.

my love passed unknown

my love passed unknown.... ...so did hers !!!!!!

As I sat there in English class,
I stared at the girl next to me
She was my so called 'best friend '
I stared at her long, silky hair,
and wished she was mine
But she didn't notice me like that,
and I knew it...
After class, she walked up to me and
asked me for the notes

she had missed the day before

I handed them to her

She said 'thanks' and left...

I want to tell her, I want her to know
that I don't want to be just friends,
I love her but I'm just too shy,
and I don't know why...

11th Grade....... ......... ......... ......... ....



The phone rang...On the other end,
it was her...She was in tears,
mumbling on and on about how her
love had broke her heart
She asked me to come over because
she didn't want to be alone, So I did
As I sat next to her on the sofa,
I stared at her soft eyes, wishing she was mine
After 2 hours, one Drew Barrymore movie,
and three bags of chips, she decided to go home
She looked at me, said 'thanks' and left...
I want to tell her, I want her to know that
I don't want to be just friends,
I love her but I'm just too shy,
and I don't know why...



Senior year........ ......... ......... ......... .........

One fine day she walked to my locker
"My date is sick" she said, "hes not gonna go well",
I didn't have a date, and in 7th grade,
we made a promise that if neither of us had dates,
we would go together just as 'best friends'
So we did...That night, after everything was over,
I was standing at her front door step
I stared at her as She smiled at me
and stared at me with her crystal eyes
Then she said- "I had the best time, thanks!" and left...
I want to tell her, I want her to know
that I don't want to be just friends,
I love her but I'm just too shy,
and I don't know why...



Graduation.. ......... ......... ......... ......... ..

A day passed, then a week, then a month
Before I could blink, it was graduation day
I watched as her perfect body floated like an angel
up on stage to get her diploma
I wanted her to be mine-but
she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it
Before everyone went home,
she came to me in her smock and hat,
and cried as I hugged her
Then she lifted her head from my shoulder
and said- 'you're my best friend, thanks' and left...
I want to tell her, I want her to know
that I don't want to be just friends,
I love her but I'm just too shy,
and I don't know why...


Marriage.... ......... ......... ......... ......... ......

Now I sit in the pews of the church
That girl is getting married now
and drive off to her new life,
married to another man
I wanted her to be mine,
but she didn't see me like that,
and I knew it...
But before she drove away,
she came to me and said 'you came! '
She said 'thanks' and left...
I want her to know that
I don't want to be just friends,
I love her but I'm just too shy,
and I don't know why...


Death....... ......... ......... ......... ......... .......

Years passed, I looked down at the coffin
of a girl who used to be my 'best friend'.
At the service, they read a diary entry
she had wrote in her high school years
This is what it read:
"I stare at him wishing he was mine;
but he doesn't notice me like that,
and I know it. I want to tell him,
I want him to know that
I don't want to be just friends,
I love him but I'm just too shy,
and I don't know why...
I wish he would tell me he loved me ! "
...'I wish I did too'...
I thought to my self, and I cried...
" Do yourself a favour, tell her/him you love them...
They won't be there....... ......... ...Forever

we never know what god has in store for us....but he surely does love each 1 of us.....we must never feelshy 2 show our love......
