Being Loving vs. Being in Love

Being Loving is not the same as Being in Love.

All this confusion is caused by limitations of language.

We just don't have enough words to represent our feelings properly.

In India, we use two words for Love - Pyar and Mohabbat.

Pyar is the generic love that is everywhere.

We are practically made of Love. Being Loving is our true nature.

It is apparent when you meet a child. A child is always loving. A child shares its love with everyone. It doesn't see the background, the race, the gender, or the features of a person who is in front of them. It just loves. Because it is loving. It is in the realisation of its true nature.

However, as adults, we create a shell around us. And shell is important to protect what we have inside, the things we have built in this life. Our reputation, our wealth, our family.

Sometimes our shells become so thick that Love is not able to penetrate and touch our true nature.

Nor someone else can touch it.

That is why we find so many people who are rude to kids.

Mohabbat is when someone else penetrates the shell and touches us. And when they touch, we again have the realisation of our true self.

That is Being in Love.

The truth is that we don't need someone to feel love. We are drowning in it. We are like fish who are made of water and are swimming in water all the time.

But our shells don't allow us to see this. Hence, we live our lives searching for something that is everywhere.

Questioning our assumptions helps us soften. When we question why things exist, we find out that there are a lot of things in our lives that are based on untruths. When we discover the untruths, we start removing parts of the shell that are blocking the love from coming to us.

Do it enough, and you will be drowning in Love.
