Love is meant to be a free gift. Give but don't expect. Love blossoms with faith, grows with gratitude, and is destroyed by demand. This may sound simple but it isn’t, because in those whom we love the most are hidden our greatest tests.
When I first tried to learn swimming, I came to realize that the more I splashed my arms and feet, the more turmoil I stirred in water, the more I sank. These early experiences in water taught me an important life lesson. The trick is that even if you are scared of the depth of water, you have to trust and let go of the struggle. You'll find that you don't sink. You actually float.
So, how do we come out of this trap? Guru Ji says seek the Giver, and not the gift. Seek the Creator, and not the creation. Practically, we experience this at a very early age, and yet we take so long to appreciate the guidance.
It has taken time, but with guidance, over the years, I am actively working to replace my worries with faith that God loves us unconditionally. Step by step, I am strengthening my faith and I am happy to share with you that which I have learned along the way.
