Our Natural State of Existence-Allowing the Energy of Love to Flow
“Love” is a magical word, we can never measure anybody’s love for us or our love for them, and it could only be felt emotionally.

Is Love an Illusion?
If we feel joy because of our own thoughts, then is love an illusion?
If our state of happiness does not depend on any external factor then is it all a game played by our EGO which decides what we love or hate?
Yes, “hatred” is an illusion indeed and it is a very persistent and strong one, but, love is our true nature.
We are made up of love and our inner being has love for everything outside as well as inside us. Continue reading

You underestimate the power of laughter, don’t you? We all have heard about the mental benefits of laughter like it can heal people, reduce stress, clear mind, etc but actually it is much more than that what we think.

Fill all your works with love – Role of emotions in actions
To understand this we should watch our thoughts while we do something for others and find out if we are trying to impress them or trying to make them happy.
It does not matter if others think that you are “trying to impress anyone” or “trying to make anyone happy” what matters is what you think, for this let us understand this “Ego Mode” in more detail..
The Ego Mode of Mind

When we always try to get something out of what we are doing our mind gets into a continues turmoil, this will add up to our sadness and the same cycle keeps on continuing.
A person, who always wants something in return for helping others(even if it is just a “thank you”), will find it hard to help others when he gets nothing, such thoughts will make his life miserable. Continue reading
