Philosophy of Love Vs Lust


Philosophy of Love Vs Philosophy of Lust


Love and lust are easily interchanged these days. Commonly most people cannot even see any major difference between the two. Common thinking is love is followed by lust or lust is followed by love or both of them mean one and the same thing except the fact that one (love) is a polite way to express another (lust).

Anyway, what is to follow is a post that I found on Sadhak Group at Yahoo (which means I am just a medium and not the source). I hope you'll enjoy reading this post on Philosophy of Love Versus Philosophy of Lust.

Love versus Lust

Worldly people due to their ignorance, do not understand the true nature of Love. They regard lust to be the same as Love. Lust is seen in most beings, especially more so in evil people, devils, demons, fiends, animals etc. Only the liberated Souls are capable of true Love.

1. In lust both parties want to receive something from the other, while in Love, a devotee (lover) wants to offer everything to the Lord (Beloved).

2. In lust a person wants to satisfy his senses, while in Love he wants to serve the Lord (beloved), without any desire for personal gain (without wanting anything in return).

3. Lust is physical, while Love is spiritual, it is divine.

4. Lust involves delusion and pain, while Love is totally free from delusion and pain, and involves emancipation and infinite bliss.

5. In lust there is attachment and dependence, while in Love there is
relinquishment and independence.

6. Lust is selfish, while Love is selfless.

7. One who is lustful, becomes a slave to the object of lust, while Bhagwaan Himself becomes a slave to a devotee that is capable of Love.

8. Lust changes into insipidity, while love enhances every moment,
intensifying into a blissful state.

9. Lust is born of need, i.e. out of something lacking, while Love sprouts from completeness and the lover (devotee) remains happy in the happiness of the beloved (God).

10. In lust there is desire to derive pleasure, while in Love a lover
(devotee) wants to please the Beloved (Bhagwaan, Lord).

11. Lust leads to hell, while Love leads to the abode of God (the Beloved).

12. In lust, the parties involved ever remain two, while in Love, the lover (devotee) and the Beloved (Lord) become one and the same.

Happiness Is A Decision

Image
Is happiness a decision , something that we have to decide or is it just pure fate. Is this something that we have to decide i.e., whether we want to accept our present situation and circumstances as they are without doing anything or even looking for a solution or we accept each one of them and decide to work on them and then start working on some solution. Anything that happens or will happen depends on our current decisions to some extent. If we are serious with our life then we can make some changes now and then whenever we feel something is not going right. This can be applied to every sphere of our life whether its our personal life, home, family, job, career, studies, business. A positive decision always brings a positive result which means an everlasting happiness . We all know what is good or bad for us, we read, we watch, we hear and we learn more ways, better options which can be included in our life, to add a new dimension to our life, to further improve quality of...

Hypnosis for Positive Thinking

Positive thinking can be improved with hypnosis or in other words we can say we learn hypnosis with positive thinking . Hypnosis is an art to develop power of our thoughts to such an extent that they start influencing our life and its surroundings directly. I don't think of hypnosis as a black art, something which is anti-social because it is not. It is an art of calming our thoughts to such an extent that thoughts cease to exist and when a person is able to calm his/her thoughts to this level he/she can easily concentrate on a single object, a single thought. Hypnosis, positive thinking and philosophy can lead more happiness in our life , we can achieve more with our limited resources with a calm mind. Our life isn't a mission, a company to get more market share and profits, a machine to get more output, life is easy and cool and every body has a right to survive . This is not just a positive view of life, a philosophy but the real meaning of life. If we can understand a...

Logic, Philosophy and Moral Values

Philosophy is a logical interpretation of moral values . It is an interconnection of moral and logic, combining moral values with logic or we can say that philosophy is a logical conclusion of moral values. Philosophy without moral is a vehicle without engine to drive, logic behind the philosophy is the fuel which drives it in motion. In today's environment where moral value and philosophy is looked down as being old fashioned, unscientific theories which do not have any place in today's fast paced societies. This is what most of us who lead a busy life in modern comfortable world think, the actual people who form this society at large. In this article 'Logical Philosophy of Moral Values' I'm not talking to libraries, universities, students of philosophy and a few intellectuals who already know more than what I ever think of knowing, for them philosophy is still a contemporary subject of there lives, they live with this philosophy as a subject and object, but ...
