FEW RULES FOR LOVE

Never chase love. Love is like a butterfly. The more you run after it, the more it will fly away from you, the more actively you pursue true love, the more elusive it will become. Rather, stand still, hold back, have patience, enjoy the beauty of the garden, and you will find love to come and sit on your shoulder miraculously all by itself…..just like a butterfly.


Once you have love, do not hold on to it. You keep moving at your own pace. Know that the butterfly is sitting on your shoulder, be proud of it, be excited about it, but don’t try to hold it in your hand, else it will fly away again. Trust me, all beloveds are plain stupid.


Never ever let your loved one know how much you love him or her, except for using your eyes and deeds. But be there for them whenever they need you and let them ask explicitly for it. Don’t distance yourself too much either. Keep quiet and maintain an air of unpredictability flowing over a ground of predictability. Remember that love thrives on surprise, amusement, uncertainty, pain of distance and fear of loss. Never ever be taken for granted.


As for life, so for love; “live” the moment, “keeping in mind” the future, rather than the other way round.


Greater the number of times you have sex with your loved one, lesser the charm will become. Hold back. Enjoy the pain of craving as much as you can before you let go of all hold bars. Remember that sexuality is the ultimate culmination of love on the physical plane. As many times you see the climax of a suspense/ thriller movie, as much of aversion you develop for it.


If you want to get out of a relationship, don’t try to be a bad person so that your loved one starts hating you and the relation breaks. You don’t need to make it ugly. Instead, have indifference towards your beloved and the relation both. Remember, the opposite of love is not hate. It’s indifference.


As for life, so for love. If you want anything to be valued, create a scarcity of it……scarcity, not absence.


Do not pin your sense of worthiness on your beloved’s certification of it, or, for that reason, anybody’s certification of it.


Do not expect anything….anything at all. No matter how difficult it might seem at first, if you truly love somebody, it’s very easy.


Do not love for a reason. Love for the sake of loving only. Enjoy the process, neither the causation nor the end. Yet keep admiring your beloved for as many things as you can. Give them a sense of worthiness associated with your presence in their lives.


In the moments of agony and in the moments of ecstatic joy, remember…”this too shall pass”.
