I get asked this question a lot … Here are some answers from the people who know, 4 to 8 year old children
‘When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn’t bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That’s love.’
‘When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.’
‘Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.’
‘Love is when my mummy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.’
‘If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,’
‘Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.’
‘During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared… I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn’t scared anymore.’
‘Love is when Mummy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford.’
‘Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day’
‘When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you.’
‘You really shouldn’t say ‘I love you’ unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.’
‘Love is when Mummy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn’t think it’s gross.’
‘Love is what makes you smile when you’re tired.’
‘I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones.’
Love is what’s in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.’
Jai Gurudeva!
love

ps What do you guys think Love is? comment away
pps My internet was down for a few days, a wire had snapped… and i really wanted to approve all the comments asap… it was almost 2 am when i had my first chance to do that, and i am afraid while sifting thru the spam folder, i may have mistakenly deleted some legitimate comments … Also, there was one person who had posted a link about something negative on the net about Art of Living and few people had commented on that, all those have been deleted. When you visit a site like that, it gets a “hit” and becomes more “popular” on search engines. So, do not visit these sick sites and give them traffic and PLEASE dont post links of these sites on this blog. Many times they post sensational stuff, simply to get hits. And if, by mistake some comment like this slips thru, then make it a point to email me and tell me, so i can delete it asap.
ppss Keep checking the blog after 7 pm Indian time … today or in a few days, you might get a small (nice) surprize
