Power of Love

Love is so powerful because being loved causes one to love oneself. Nothing contributes to the self-image more than being loved by another. When the words "I love you" are expressed to you for the first time, your world blossoms; your heart glows with inspiration, confidence and thoughts of the mountains you can move. It's more than an emotional kick; suddently you like yourself more than you ever have before.

Those who have LOVE

Those who have power will use their power

Those who have money will use their money

Those who have beauty will use their beauty

Those who have inteeligence will use their intelligence

Those who have honesty will use their honesty

Those who have modesty will use their modesty

Those who have LOVE will use their LOVE

to conquer their enemies

Physician

A wise physician said to me, "I have been practicing medicine for 30 years, and I have prescribed many things. But in the long run I have learned that for most of what ails the human creature the best medicine is love.

"What if it doesnt' work?" I asked.

"Double the dose," he replied

True Happiness

True happiness begins
When a man learns the art
Of right adjusment
To other persons

And right adjusment involves

Self-forgetfulness
And
Love

~Zen~

To Lose

To willingly lose oneself
In love
Is to find oneself
In god.

By its very nature
Such a love uplifts our fellow beings
And creates a greater tendency toward

Peace
And goodwill
Toward all people

~Zen~

In love, all is spontaneous

Love is its own reason for being.
It is complete in itself.

When love is oresent
The path to truth is joyous.

In love, all is spontaneous.
Spontaneity belongs to spirituality.
The state of unlimited spontaneity,
In which there is uninterrupted

Self-knowledge

~Zen~

Sacrifice

When we understand that a sacrifice is for our advantage as well, 

and when we understand that what we give as a sacrifice is the rights of those who receive, 

and when we believe that the promise is true -- 

then a sacrifice is not a sacrifice, 

but it is a follow-affection, 

a love for the great souls 

~Mario Teguh~

Why must cry?

One day the teacher said to the students, "Why when someone is being angry, he will speak with strong voice or cry?" 

A student, after thinking for  a while giving the hand up, said, "Because  he has lost patience, so he cried."

"But ..." the teacher asked again, "the one whom he is talking with is in front of him. Why should cry? Couldn’t  he talk smoothly? " 

Almost all the students gave  reasons which were hoped to be correct  according to their consideration. 

However, none of the answers satisfying. 

Then the teacher said, "When two people are in anger, the distance between two hearts become very much long even though they are physically so close. 

Therefore, to achieve such a distance, they have to shout. 

However oddly, the louder they cry, they also become increasingly angry and the distance of the hearts between them also becomes longer. Therefore, they had to shout over louder again. " 

The teacher still continue, "Instead, what happens when two people love each other? Not only do they not cry, but also when they speak, the sound that came out of their mouth so fine and small. Even so soft, they can listen to so clearly. Why is that so? "The teacher said while  watching to the students. They seem to think deeply, but none provide answers. 

"Because their hearts are so close, their hearts are distanceless. Finally, even one word needs not be spoken. An eye’s view can  make them understand just what they want to. " 

The teachers still continue, "When you're in anger,  don’t  let your  heart to create distance. Moreover you should not say the words that bring the distance between you. Perhaps at that time, do not say the words may be the tactful way. Because time will help you. "
