i like the way this guy put it. although i disagree with the last paragraph. will read the other one tomm :lol:

Why do you disagree, i think when you love god i think that can be unconditional, but reading those pages left me more confused about unconditional love as it doesnt seem that you can attain that. i thought that they say a mothers love is unconditional, but it said that it was also affected by attachment. Lol i think im a bit more confused, as they described love as something free and all that malarkey, but if you want to be with some1 or like them, the love isnt just randomly there if you know what i mean, you choose to love them right? i hope that makes sense.

Forgive me for my mistakes,

one way to test i guess is if your in love there is no misery there is only bliss, if there's only attachment then as author of the above article puts it "When attached we have a selfish focus, wanting that which benefits me, mine and my agenda. We fail to see that it is our own clinging to our partner, the relationship and our ego self that creates our misery"

From Kahlil Gibran's "The Prophet":

Then said Almitra, "Speak to us of Love."

And he raised his head and looked upon the people, and there fell a stillness upon them.

And with a great voice he said:

When love beckons to you follow him,

Though his ways are hard and steep.

And when his wings enfold you yield to him,

Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.

And when he speaks to you believe in him,

Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.

For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.

Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,

So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.

Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself.

He threshes you to make you naked.

He sifts you to free you from your husks.

He grinds you to whiteness.

He kneads you until you are pliant;

And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast.

All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's heart.

But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure,

Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor,

Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.

Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.

Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;

For love is sufficient unto love.

When you love you should not say, "God is in my heart," but rather, I am in the heart of God." And think not you can direct the course of love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.

Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself.

But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:

To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.

To know the pain of too much tenderness.

To be wounded by your own understanding of love;

And to bleed willingly and joyfully.

To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;

To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;

To return home at eventide with gratitude;

And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.
