Q. What is love, and how should one be loving?
A. It is very difficult to say what love is and how one can be loving. Is it that one should be embracing people, or running after people, or speaking sweet words? Every person has a different way of expressing his love. One person has a love hidden in his heart, it does not manifest. Another person has love coming out in his words and action. Another person's love rises just like vapors and charges the whole atmosphere. Another person's love is like a spark in a stone: outside the stone is cold, inside there is a spark. Therefore to judge who has love and who has not is not in the power of every person; it is very difficult. For instance, love as a fire rising from a cracker, calls out: "I am love! " and burns up and is finished. There is also a fire in the pebble which never manifests. If one holds the pebble it is so cold; at the same time the "spark" is there. Someday you can strike it, it is dependable, it lasts. Therefore one can never judge because the manner of expressing love of every person is different.
