Live Lovingly

Swami Sivananda Saraswati

Love is the golden link or tie which binds heart to heart, mind to mind, soul to soul. Love never reasons but gives profusely. It is not affected by offence or insult. It looks not with the eyes, but with the heart. Love makes great sacrifices. Love is anxious to help and serve others and make others happy. Love forgives. There is not even a tinge of selfishness in pure love. The love of a mother is never exhausted. It never changes. Love is not getting or bargaining, but giving. Love your neighbour as your own self. Love your enemies, love your inferiors. Love little, but love long. Speak lovingly. Act lovingly. Serve lovingly.
