The Three types of Love !!


Jai Gurudev !!



Love is such an inevitable feeling in our life .

Guruji Sri Sri Ravishankar  says ,

" We are all born out of Love;

We move towards something called as Love .

And our destination is also Love !! "


It means,  a baby is born due to the love of a man and a woman .


Secondly , in every step of our life, our very purpose is love , either there will be the love towards an object or love towards power or the love towards other beings etc... Hence, it is said , we move towards the love .

Thirdly , our ultimate destination , after our body departs us, we become one with the universal Love or the source . so , our destination is also Love.  
Though the philosophy goes that way ,
in general we can classify Love into three types .

Type 1 : We always expect something from others . In any relationship , we try to get some benefit out of it . We move with others with the intention of getting something from them either monetarily or by other means.
This type of love is called as Tamasic Love !! 

Type 2: We love other person , only if the other person loves us. It's like a give and take policy , a business . You do something , then I 'll do something in return. You be good to me , then will I .
Something like that . This type of Love is called as Rajasic Love !!





Type 3 :  The third type of Love is the love in which we do not expect anything from others  . We  just love them and do whatever they want without  asking .
This type of Love is saying , " I am there for you . I want nothing but make you happy ! "
This is called as Satwik Love !!


In our day to day life , we would have come across all the three types of love .

If we closely observe ourselves , our love towards our family memebers or others would come under one of these three categories. 



The progress from Tamasic to Satwik Love is what one has to aim for in due course of time in any relationship .

That would definitely bring peace and happiness for sure !!

Love & smiles.....
