What's LOVE got to do with it?

My Master Sri Sri Ravi Shankar says the whole world is a vibration called love and that is what I am and that is what you are.

What? So what to happens to all the "I love yous" we all go around saying to each other all the time. If all of existence is nothing but love, I may well be saying "I existence you". And what does THAT mean! If I am love and you are love and all of existence is love, then I love you becomes "I I I" or "Love Love Love". Showing us the meaninglessness of words and pointing to the potential and aptness of silence. (Another of my Masters pet refrains!)

Ok maybe lets start with the stuff we are all familiar with. Which is the easy way the words "I love you" roll off our tongues at the slightest "provocation". 

1. "Ill see you later...Love you!"(love you meant "bye" here)

2. "Oh my God this is beautiful...I love you!" ( love you meant "you gave me something I liked...you must be awesome and worth loving")

3. After a friend or someone you know compliments you and uplifts you - "THIS is why I love you...you make me feel so special!" (Love you here meant "you see the worth in me - you then must be worthy yourself and worthy of my love")

What IS this love we keep offering so freely through our words....what's LOVE got to do with it (to quote the fantabulous Tina Turner❤️) Is it worth anything at all? Or does it just convey our own search for validity and meaning, being for a brief moment rewarded through someone or something on the outside. Making us exclaim in joy. For that moment, we feel good, we feel high, we feel validated, we feel LOVE. We feel our very existence.

But as all things outside are - this validation is perishable, changeable and ephemeral. So the same person we said I love you to, in a few months or days or hours, heaven forbid if they kindle something unpleasant in us, we lose that love. Case in point: My daughter - "I love you mom"...."I hate you mom" 😂😂😂..."I love you again mom". This love changes - all the time.

More seriously: Newly married couple "I love you honey" ...few misunderstandings and a divorce later "You make me sick!". This love destroys. 

A Politician winning on an agenda of "I love immigrants - they make our country what it is!" After the election "I hate immigrants - they may bomb us!". This love betrays.

So then this love is not the love my Master talks about. This love is a transaction. This love is an emotion. And like all emotions - it changes. Its definitely not my very existence - this emotional I love you😂. This infatuation based I love you. This attachment based I love you. This transactional I love you. This "as long as you..." I love you. This "as long as its..." I love you. 

Because the Love my Master talks about is eternal, infinite and unconditional. The kind of love He has for me and all of creation. Or the kind of love He IS for me and all of creation.

Thats the love I want BE, not feel. And my Master says I AM THAT. So with this new information - can I just drop the "I love yous" and "you're so awesomes" that I willy nilly hand out day in and day out. I mean why should I diminish you by calling you awesome! You are freakin' Existence! LOVE! Nothing nothing nothing is bigger or better or more awesome than that. You have no potential. You are already the most awesome substance there ever was, is or will be. LOVE.

PS: I love you😂😂😂😂😂😂
