Whispers in the Wind ️


Whispers in the Wind ️


Humans are curious creatures. We crave information like squirrels crave nuts – the nuttier, the better. 
It's as natural as breathing. Humans have been doing this act of craving information since we were grunting around in caves.

It's time we celebrated this glorious pastime, the original social media, the provider of endless entertainment.
 Most of the time that information involves other people's lives, which is where the glorious art of gossiping comes in.

Now, before you declare yourself above it all, be honest.
 Haven't you ever widened your eyes and whispered, "Did you hear about...?" with a mischievous glint in your eye? We all have! and that's okay! Gossiping is ingrained in human society.

what exactly is gossip?

Is it just mindless chatter!

 Back before the days of tweets and TikToks,  gossip was the original social media. we relied on the trusty human grapevine to spread the news

People talk about it like it is a disease, but really, it is more like a guilty pleasure – like watching a TV reality show. , it is scandalous, and sometimes, it's downright hilarious too.

Take a look into the wonderful world of gossip

The Gossipers, We all know them the friend who can sniff out a juicy story a mile away, the neighbour who seems to have all the information of the town.

The Different Breeds of Gossipers

The Parrot: This one simply repeats everything they hear, accurately. be damned. 
Their motto? "A heard a thing, a thing I share!".

Caution: This may cause international incidents.

The Detective: Pieces together, clues like Sherlock Holmes, 

Their motto? "The truth is out, but I will dig out to the roots''
The Dramatic Narrator: Takes a rumour and runs a marathon with it, adding special effects and a soundtrack.
Every story becomes an epic saga with this gossiper.
 Prepare for exaggerated sighs, wide-eyed gasps, and enough body language to rival a mime convention.

Their aim is to dramatise to make you curious to know the story. Their style of narration,'' Do you know the news?  or ''shall I tell you a new story?

It's Not Just Chatting:  Gossip Like a Boss is an Art

There's a certain skill to gossiping, believe it or not. A good gossiper knows how to deliver the information in a way that's both entertaining and discreet.

Quality Over Quantity

Maintain Plausible Deniability: "Oh, I just overheard..." is your best friend.
Beware the Backfire: Gossip can boomerang faster than a toddler throwing a tantrum. Before gossipers spill,  will consider the consequences.

Know Audience:  Good gossipers tailor their stories to the needs of their listeners.
Embrace the Giggles: Gossiping is a real fun! Laugh it off,  It is a time pass at the end of the day.  Do not take the gossip seriously, and remember, what goes around comes around ''hopefully not the gossip''!πŸ˜‰

Keep it spicy Let's be honest, boring gossip is a snoozefest. A good gossiper adds a dash of drama, a sprinkle of humour, and maybe a pinch of speculation.

The Ethics of the Gossip 

If someone tells you something in secret, keep it that way. You're not James Bond, you're a friend. Gossip should be lighthearted, not malicious

Believe it or not, gossip can actually serve a purpose, besides pure entertainment.

Social Bonding: gossipers find curious listeners to make their friend circles. and if you see society's patterns closely you will find people always discuss others. They rarely talk about themselves, finding faults in others, and discussing the life events of others is their main aim. It's like saying, "Hey, we both belong to this secret society!"

Pure Entertainment: Gossiping is like a reality show with actual people we know. When we feel dull and bored, what do we all do? we often visit our friends and relatives, and chit-chat most of the time about others. Finding other people's topics as sources of our time pass and entertainment. And after spending some time in discussions we feel time well spent!  

Moral Compass Check: In gossip, we generally feel we are the best judge of society. We give our opinions in such a manner that we are the best in the world and only we know how to live on this planet.

Information is Power: Knowing what's happening around us makes us feel informed, powerful and part of society. We all want to know what's going on around us.
 Gossip informs us about the local drama around us.

Learning from Others' Mistakes:  It is okay, to learn from the experiences and mistakes of others. But not always, sometimes gossip can be a cause of inviting a new set of problems in your life.

Is ''Gossip''A Guilty Pleasure or a Social Sin?

 Is gossiping good or bad? The answer, like most things in life, is, it depends!  As long as your discussions are respectful of others, and not spreading negativity, then it is a good refreshing session and can be a fun way to bond with friends and colleagues. Always keep in mind, that sometimes the best secrets are the ones you keep to yourself.

Gossiping is a natural part of human interaction. It can be a source of amusement, connection, and even sometimes information. But remember, with great gossip comes great responsibility.
Don't be a malicious rumor-monger. Keep it light, keep it funny, and most importantly, keep it between friends.😎

Can't Buy Heart,

 Can’t Buy Heart; Enduring Legacy


As for some proverb that informs a reader or a listener: ‘The things created from heart, last forever’, has a beautiful sentiment attached to it. It brings out the concept that anything done with passion and emotions will always be memorable.

This is the simplest way of letting people feel your creations be it in artwork, music, writing, or even cooking. It is worth recalling that such creations can create emotions, and ideas, and unite people regardless of the time in which they exist.

That is why passion, love or any other strong feeling has a lasting impact.

Any sort of work of art created with passion touches the hearts on a deeper level and makes certain to engrave the artist’s creations in their minds.

Such creations transform into mirrors that reflect the soul and actually can reveal its emotions and experiences.
A song can touch generations, a poem can create a change in society or a painting can create a feeling for centuries.

Actually, the meaning of the phrase “forever” is not to be taken in a strict sense.

Whereas the physical surroundings can wear out, the feelings and experiences that these objects elicit can be timeless.


Friendship and love relationships with family members and loved ones do not fade with time but stay forever. For instance, a dress that was tailor-made by your mother may end up being faded, but the comfort with which it was made is a treasure that will never fade.

Everything people have done together, all the jokes have been cracked and the fun that has been shared is part of a story.

Acts of kindness and love

Random acts of Kindness and Love or selfless acts done with genuine care leave a deep regard in the heart of the recipient.
This means that whenever someone offers assistance or does a favour without expecting any material reward or expecting the person to reciprocate the favour their actions carry a lot of weightage on the other side of the equation. 
The positive energy that they pass on can in turn encourage others to pass it on in the same manner thus forming loops of positive energy.

All the relationships built with affection, tolerance, and compassion will always remain strong. These are strong bonds that exist to offer safety, comfort and happiness in one’s life.

Acknowledge limitations

It is also relevant to speak about the factor of impermanence. Things may wear out, songs could be never sung or sung again, and great friendships could transform.

Physical Objects and Time: Physical creations are not protected by time regardless of the input, labour and love, that was put into making them. People destroy structures, colours get washed away, and even murals are lost with generation shifts and technology.
Concrete objects can be considered ephemeral whereas feelings and intentions are subsistent.
The truer meaning therefore must be in the consequences or otherwise of such pressures.
This means that out-of-the-heart produced items, whether material or non-material, can produce a mark.

As the focus of this research shows, the power is in the intention. 

The fun that comes with mere passion and creation, the commitment to something, and even the simple act of spewing out one’s feelings can in the end be satisfying regardless of whether the effort results in success or not.

No matter how long the creation which has been made remains in existence, the creation itself has a unique kind of eternity.

In the end, the creations that come from the heart are forever not in a physical context, but in the mind and the relations and the ripples left for good. 😊

"Hello, How Are You?"



From Small Talk to Deep Connections



"Hello, how are you?" It is such a simple phrase. Uttered innumerable times a day.

A universal greeting

That is, if anything, one of the most universal greetings woven into the fabric of our daily interactions. There lies the beauty in a hello: it is universal. Any person, regardless of their age, background, and prestige, benefits greatly from this simple gesture.

An icebreaker, an acknowledgement of being present, a soft query into another's well being a hello is much more than a string of words.

A gesture of solidarity
A quick break from the daily grind to say,, "I see you, and I am here," is a show of support. In a time when social isolation is on the rise, acknowledgement of this kind is extremely helpful in preventing the episodes of loneliness and isolation that are regrettably common in modern society.

Hello and the Potent Power of a Greeting


Hello, can kick off positive interactions between people from different backgrounds—understanding and respect.


Imagine a silent suburb where everyone passes by and passes by without even greeting one another; it only takes a hello to bridge those awkward social gaps and make the atmosphere much more communal. A simple hello can be the difference in tipping someone to begin talking. It means readiness to connect and create an inviting environment.

Spark of Connection


Humans are social creatures hardwired for connection. Hello serves as that initial spark to ignite a possible interaction. It shows openness and willingness to engage, whether with a neighbour or coworker. It invites eye contact, a smile, and perhaps even conversation. This feeling of being connected, even momentarily, could make a difference in our day and theirs.

The Power of Positivity

A real hello is an act of kindness. It injects a shot of positivity into someone's day, letting them know they are seen and that they matter.

The Power of Questioning

It opens the door to a conversation. More fundamentally, though, the question "How are you?" represents an invitation to connect.

 A hello, and a legitimate interest in another person's well-being, can provide a moment of brief human connection.

Beyond Small Talk

"Hello, how are you?" can be a real springboard for deeper conversations. 
It may be the bridge to share burdens, celebrate successes, or simply to give a listening ear.
Such a greeting at work can create stronger teams that further build trust in the workplace.
Within communities, it can build bridges and understanding.

The Art of Responding

Any honest response, no matter how brief, makes all the difference.
Similar to how we ask "how are you?", so is the response.
It shows we have acknowledged the question and do care about the person asking.


The world of today, fast-moving, can make "Hello, how are you?"
sometimes a formality, like a passing-by or quick exchange. But the real question of another's well-being possesses some immense power. A sincere "How are you?" in times of growing social isolation could save a life or at least provide a chance for a deeper connection.


The Future of Greetings


In a fast world, ruled by technology, the concept of "Hello, how are you?" takes on different dimensions. Of late, most of the chatbots and virtual assistants are programmed to use similar greetings. But the real essence of that question, which forms the root of a certain human connection, is missing in all these interactions.
The future of greetings is yet to be written. Will "Hello, how are you?" go on being the bedrock of human interactions, or are emojis and virtual handshakes going to take the place?


Probably in striking a balance: using technology to better our interactions but still showcasing the power of face-to-face communication.


"Hello, how are you?" These two simple words hold the power. Within our fast-moving world, we shall not take this greeting lightly.
They are a bridge across cultures and a basis for connection—a call to empathy.
Let us use it in earnest, listen with open hearts, and really connect; for in these tiny moments lies a better world in the making one "hello" at a time.😊






In your perspective, what makes a greeting beautiful? 
 Thank you. Please share in the comments.

Maids & Myths


Maids & Myths, "Hiccups in Harmony''


The hiring of maids by families can be convenient, especially to families with tight schedules but the process is not as easy as it is expected. However, while their contributions are often invaluable, there is a less discussed side to this relationship: the possibility of bringing negative energy into a home that maids often possess. Some behaviours may cause the experiences of frustration or disappointment.

Maid Habits"Creating a Stress''

In most cases, the introduction of maids in a particular house does not necessarily mean that it is all positive. It is important to understand that the changes that the addition of the new member brings to the house interactions may be quite unpredictable and can result in numerous complications.
These are individual and interpersonal as well as systematic and societal.

Privacy Invasion

A home is usually regarded as a haven and this is the place where one can be liberal and free from societal pressure. This room is menstruation throughout the day by the constant presence of a maid.
To fully know that one’s private space is entered by an unknown at a given time is not comforting and erases the safety and comfort that is afforded by a home.
People may not like the feeling that comes with knowing that there is always someone out there who knows their schedule, their behaviour, and even what they never told anyone. Such discomfort may result in the feeling of intrusion and henceforth development of stress and anxiety.

Dependency

Living with a maid to do most of the cleaning and other chores for you have been found to have some negative effects such as making one lazy. As the disease progresses some of the most simple things one can take for granted such as cooking, cleaning or even organizing may be lost.
Such dependency is not always advantageous; whenever the maid is unable to work, it becomes difficult for the household.

Interpersonal Conflicts

People are not always compatible with each other according to the type of personality they have. The working mode, attitude or behaviour of a maid can be not in harmony with the owners and can compromise and quarrel.

Jealousy and Competition

Sometimes having a maid causes jealousy in the home. These feelings affect children and make them think that the maid is the preferred person to be around within the house. This can cause all sorts of problems within a family including disturbing the emotions of the individuals involved.
But sometimes the situation is otherwise maids develop a feeling of jealousy, maids start comparing their own lives with the lives of certain members of the family.
They start raising their eyebrows and you can almost feel jeer of comparison in their tone.
This type of situation can lead to a lot of negativity in the household it means that every day you wake up and go to bed with a negative attitude.

Over expectations and comparison

The majority of the maids have a culture of relating an experience concerning the other families where they work, how those families treat them, and what they provide in terms of monetary remuneration, gifts, food and other incentives during special occasions.
In fact, these are some of the stories they tell in a bid to pass their messages across to their leaders. They are now telling stories as a way of giving their emotions about how they want to be handled.
These are probably not to be taken as actual stories, but they seem like something to help dictate how to approach them.
Of course, we don’t need to fact-check the story, but it feels like it’s here just to push towards a particular behaviour.
And if you ignore their demands you can feel noteworthy behavior alteration. Sometimes they may decide to go on a rebellious spree which only increases tension in the household.
Inconsistent Attendance

The most prevalent behaviour seen in many households by these maids includes generally poor attendance habits such as erratic truancy. They are also likely to absent themselves from work without proper authorization, or even at short notice; the household is usually affected in the worst way.
Such unpredictability can affect the flow of day-to-day activities and cause undue stress especially because parents rely on such helpers to manage their households.

Lack of Attention to Detail

Maids sometimes miss certain spots when cleaning, which leads to dust and dirt building up in these forgotten areas. This lack of care can make the whole house less clean and healthy.


If the maid keeps doing this over and over, it can create more stress for everyone.

Reliability Issues

Showing up on time and being dependable matter a lot to families. Housekeepers who often come late or back out at the last second throw off daily schedules and cause trouble for everyone.

Unprofessional Behavior

This covers talking about family issues using personal phones too much while working, or even bringing guests into the home without permission. These actions can put the household's privacy and safety at risk.


Getting a maid can take a lot of work off your plate, but it's crucial to know about the possible downsides. Not showing up being careless missing details, acting, and not taking the initiative are some habits that can make the experience less than ideal.

Conclusion

There are benefits to hiring a maid, but you should be ready for any obstacles that may arise. Open and honest communication is essential to maintaining a good working relationship with your maid and a calm household. Be courteous, establish ground rules early on, and show your maid some care. You may establish a peaceful atmosphere that benefits all parties involved by doing this.

Work with Pride





Many people feel ashamed of their employment when they don't match the "high-powered" or "prestigious" mould in a society that is obsessed with status and achievement.


Society bombards us with narrow images of success making many think their jobs fall short. But the work that feeds you, no matter what it is, merits huge respect.


We need to break down this story and honour the worth of all honest work.


Stand tall!
Work gives our lives shape and meaning, offering a chance to grow and improve.
From a skilled craftsperson's eye for detail to a caregiver's non-stop commitment, each role helps society run.

 Be proud of what you do!
Working, no matter what you do, is a key part of being human.
 You might sometimes think your job isn't fancy or high-status. But don't forget, it helps you live with self-respect and give back to your community.
 
Powerful sense of self-reliance & dignity
Having a job gives you a strong feeling of being self-reliant. When you make your own money, you get the freedom to take care of yourself and the people you care about.
 This money safety helps you feel proud and lets you decide things that affect your life.

A sense of self-worth and accomplishment
Work's worth goes beyond just paying the bills. It builds self-esteem and a feeling of achievement.
 When we fix issues learn new things, and team up with others to reach a shared goal, it shapes who we are.
 Doing a good job brings joy, taking pride in our work feels great, and bonding with workmates adds to a rich life.
All these things make our lives more complete.

Security and independence
It allows us to provide for ourselves and our families, fostering a sense of security and independence.


The Symphony of Society: Every Role Plays a Part

A man sweeping streets or transporting garbage are not as appreciated as CEOs, but their efforts keep diseases from spreading. What would people do if the offices and public utilities of the city’s sanitation department were removed? 
This feature of glamour would be replaced by the ordeal of life in this large city.
Some examples can be hospitals without nurses, or farms without farmers, which is impossible.

It means that the huge number of people with manifold occupations makes society work organism-like. 
The nurse who attends to the ailments of the sick, the educator who fosters the development of our children, the mason who puts up our structures and roads, the deliverer who brings our basic needs. 

Thus, whether the play is called ‘’Hamlet’’ or ‘’Henry V’, it is a significant part of that symphony of great and small puppet plays.

Often, the jobs deemed "unskilled" are the very ones that keep the world running

While such jobs may not necessarily need one to go to school for years, they call for personality, stamina, time consciousness and the ability to work with all strata of populations.

These make a comfortable and healthy life possible and are indispensable.
Thus, every job is a segment of a jigsaw that collectively forms the function that maintains the existence of society.


Beyond the Stereotypes: Redefining Respectability

There is social prejudice in society that relates the worth of an individual to the job description. Societal prejudice contributes to shame because of the occupations their members perform. Sometimes stems from classist thinking that believes that work that involves the use of one’s hands is more so associated with lower classes.
This view fails to capture the modern generation’s employment situation where most of the skilled technical professions pay better than desk jobs.

Besides, it reduces the worth of human muscles and vigour and overlooks strength, endurance and techniques.

Change in mindset contributes to a more respectful work culture:

Shift Your Perspective: It is again important that you change the way you look at your job. Replace the thoughts about the low positions’ underrating with the appreciation of the practical utility of such positions. Consider what you help, what you offer and what you help create on the general scale.

Find Your Passion Within Your Work: Try to locate the positive aspects that can bring happiness and contentment to the particular job. Maybe you are skilled in communication with the buyers, like the processes of the problem-solving part of the work, or the indication of partnership with the coworkers. Thus, attention must be paid to those aspects.

Surround Yourself with Supportive People: Develop relationships with people who have good things to say about people and their worth, there is no superior profession, and everyone deserves appreciation.

Embrace Continuous Learning: Understand the job you are in as a temporary situation. A person should continuously be willing to learn and hence should be ready to acquire new knowledge in different fields. This not only increases your worth to the employer but it also gives you the much-needed self-confidence when handling tasks.

Acknowledge the value of all professions: The next time you come across a person who performs a service, take time and thank him or her for the job done. Politely acknowledging the other person is also an important aspect of showing respect and nothing embarks more respect than a simple thank you.

Support vocational training: The youth must be encouraged to go for vocational education and training as an equally good and realistic form of employment.

Promote a work-life balance: Advocating for pay, work hours benefits access and job satisfaction can lead to a better quality of life in the workplace. 
Achieving a balance, between work and personal life often results in employees approaching their tasks with enthusiasm and concentration.


''Be proud of your job'' and  ''Celebrate all your work'' because 


''Our work is a part of who we are''
 it is the work you do to make money and help your family.

''Respect and esteem all professions''
Careers are not just a source of income but should also make you proud. Always bear in mind, that no profession is low in comparison to other ones, every job plays a part in the external world.

''You contribute to society''
Remember this and take pride in providing a respectable living for your family and positively impacting someone else's life.

People may dismiss your job, but every job you take on is a chance for something good in the world to be done.
The things you get to do are part of your identity, even if the job you do is not something you do for a long time. It is also proof of your character.

Be proud of your job, work hard, and make a difference.πŸ‘

Kabir's Wisdom






Kabir's Wisdom: Truth Over Illusion

The Hindi verse "jantar tantar sab jhūTh hai mat bharmo jag koy satt sabad jaane binā kauvā hans na hoai" can be translated into English as:



 All magics and spells are lies, do not fool the world, the crow has no idea which word can help it turn into a swan. ”

This line is derived from  ‘Dohas of Kabir’ which is a 30-verse composition that has been composed by Kabir, a 15th-century Indian Holy man.

It is a rejection of witchcraft and fake or Westernized medicine and an encouragement of the truth and knowledge, hence the Enlightenment. 

Working with its distinct tone and its words’ connotations, this verse is a clear proclamation of the value of truth and enlightenment for a human being. It is a call to shun the various beliefs that are considered to have been acquired through the spirit medium and instead turn within in search of genuine knowledge.

‘‘Jantar Tantar sab Jhuth hai’’ This eliminates the possibility of anybody using magic or chants to achieve his or her intended goals. 

This thread runs through the whole of Kabir’s work as he did not believe in the power of rulers or lords.

”mat bharmo jag koy” In fact this phrase literally translates into English to “don’t deceive the world. ” 

This is a tell that people should not propagate bad things, particularly superstitious beliefs. Kabir always looked at the possibility of wrong teachings being propagated and he encouraged people to think critically of what was being told and what was being seen. 
He indicated that knowledge existed somewhere deep within. One could only be sought and people should always be forthright in their dealings with other people.

“satt sabad jaane binā” This phrase literally translates to “without knowing the true word. ” The “true word” can be taken in many ways, but in the most basic of terms, it is considered the spiritual and philosophical or even mystical, knowledge a person has or knows of himself.

In this verse, the author is mocking the people who believed in superstitious and paranormal aspects. It claims that inner knowledge and understanding are the way to go out in a quest for knowledge and not through magic and spells.

The Power of Truthful Knowledge: Therefore, according to Kabir, the change has to be internal, which can only be brought about by accepting the nature of existence.
Thus, he stated that without this knowledge people are as hopeless as crows.

The crow symbolises ignorance and the swan represents knowledge and enlightenment. The crow is the black bird that depicted the negative omen of death and the swan is the white bird that has been shown to depict beauty and cleanness.

 This specific line infers that without insight, people remain no better than crows. With the right knowledge, we can rise above like the swans above the mire of samsara.

The verse is also a provocation towards reason as a potential source of liberation from the alleged tyrannous rule of magic or chants to achieve his or her intended goals believed in superstitious and paranormal rituals.  People should never act and believe in rituals that do so, it is without taking time and analyzing the information. 

This is the only way we are likely to develop real appreciation and understanding. As far as critical thinking is concerned we should not take everything that is said or written at face value.

In fact, the verse can be interpreted as a message that people should rely on themselves. It means that we should not depend on what people tell us regarding knowledge and happiness. However, we must not rely on external sources for answers that are said to be seeking within us.

The verse can be interpreted as a symbol or as a reminder of the language’s potential as well. This one is, indeed, a true word that is simply symbolic of the power of words that following the verse form something in existence. 
To sum up, there is nothing outside of following rituals of magic spells and superstitions, we should learn how to manage our lives properly to achieve the best result for making our lives more meaningful with true mystical, knowledge a person has or knows of himself.

It is a verse of encouragement. It provides hope to people that even though at the moment they live in a world full of ignorance and superstition one can rise above that and become enlightened.

It is not surprising that there is a heavy moral code expressed in the verse. It motivates people to tell the truth and to be productive as well as strive towards the acquisition of genuine knowledge.

The Doha is a message that teaches people to be independent and find their way to enlightenment. Unlike most fairy tales, it does not focus on getting information or solving problems using magic or spells but using our inner selves.

Universal Love







''The basic energy of the universe''

 Embracing
 Oneness 

This is actually a very simple way of accepting someone as they are, love in this case would mean no strings attached. It does not matter how good they are, what they look like, or how they behave; one just has to accept everything.

Different cultures, beliefs and teachings have these elements that go beyond personal feelings or romantic relationships. It's about understanding that everything is connected, which helps us feel a strong sense of togetherness and unity.
It is more about being aware of the concept that everything in existence interacts with each other and further strengthens a sense of belongingness and unity.

 “Love all”  is not romantic love. Rather it reveals the truth that we are part of this cosmic energy. When we talk about universal love then there is no I, My, me, you, your, yours, They, Their, Them. we are all one. It needs to melt the identity.



 Interconnectedness of Life

 Every part of life is connected. We all are entwined within existence. From the largest banyan tree to the smallest insect, all organisms have roles to play in this cosmic ballet.

 By sensing this bond we feel deep compassion and love for every living creature on earth including human beings.

 Everything you see whether living or non-living movable or immovable is part of this cosmic dance

Everything is joined up together

 We’re all part of an enormous life network called life itself. In universal dance, every living thing from massive banyan trees to the tiniest insects plays its role.

If we understand this truth, we will be able to have compassion and love for all beings including other humans as well as small ones.


Understanding this helps us feel love and friendship for every creature on earth, from humans to tiny bugs.

''We all only have a temporary home on this planet of ours.''
 

Love Nurtures Acceptance 

This understanding of unity among all people can help us to look beyond differences of race, religion, nationality, or social status. This involves seeking new connections and growing relationships which will make you fall in love with the place you live in and even more in love with the people that you share it with.

Moving past opposite

 Universal love can help us think beyond binary opposing systems – like right and wrong, or us versus them.
 By viewing the world through the prism of love, we can start to see everything's fundamental value and see past the straightforward contradictions that these conceptions contain. Every difficult situation is a chance for growth and development.

Release Duality

 Our world is made of good and bad, day and night. Universal love destroys this hostile pattern. We must see clearly and discard these labels. Even the "bad" things offer growth opportunities.

Love as a Source of Positive Energy

Love cannot be defeated, and when we receive it, it is difficult for it not to spread. Then we encourage others to act more kindly and with greater understanding. Over time and across geographies, love might become contagious, bringing peace.

Seeing the goodness in others

 Loving all means showing love to all and finding the best in them. It doesn't mean overlooking the wrong things others do. Just notice them and refuse to be judgmental. Believe in kindness in everyone.

Love Yourself

 Loving the world starts with loving yourself. If you want to love the world outside, you must first love yourself. This way, you can openly welcome love into your life.

Universal love  is power in harmony

 The feeling of love brings all actions in balance with all things within ourselves and harmonizes everything outside. Nothing is excluded.

The Difficulty of Loving Everyone and Everything

 Loving everything might sound unrealistic. As humans, we have likes and dislikes for certain things and situations. Universal love suggests not to judge anything not to comment upon and not to hate a thing or a person.
Be humble. If you cannot praise or appreciate anything or anybody, then do not criticise, do not have any ill feeling also. Just do Namaskar and move.

Universal love is a process, not a final goal.  It needs ongoing work and looking inward. There will be obstacles, times of criticism, and negative thoughts.



Loving everything and everyone creates harmony and balance in total. We not only improve our own lives but also help create a more calm and balanced world for everyone.πŸ™
