The western way of pseudo-love vs The Bhartiya way of real love💡💡
The west has narrowed down the meaning of love to PDA(Public display of affection)
How does one really convey love? Is there a scale on which your love can be measured?
Does the number of kisses and gifts we share give an idea of the depth of love we have?
In the world where reel life dominates real life, the public scene is an illusion and the private scene is the reality.
A secret is revealed in the Ramayana regarding where real love lies
, through Sita and Urmila. Rather than choosing the path of gifts and kisses, both decided to choose the path of sacrifice and unconditional love. Urmila, by releasing Lakshmana to serve Rama, demonstrated unconditional love. And Sita by leaving her comforts to accompany Rama
chose the path of sacrifice. What the world sees will give at best mental satisfaction that leaves superficial impressions. What your heart sees will give you heartfelt satisfaction that gives very deep impressions.
This public display of love is often tailed by private
demonstration of hate. Rather than conditional gifts and kisses, a relationship needs unconditional love and sacrifice. The question to ask is not ‘What can you do for me?’ but ‘What can I do for you?’.
True love is measured by our eagerness to let go of our personal desires, opinions, and comforts.
If one tries to dive deep into our scriptures one would find the true meaning of love as a Mother, Father, Brother, Sister, Husband, and a Friend.
Western literature is focused more on fantasizing about love than dwelling on its true meaning.

How Lord Vittala saved Shivaji Maharaj from the tyrants💡💡
One Ekadasi day, Tuka was performing kirtans and Shivaji was listening to it with love. In the meantime, M.uzlim soldiers heard about the whereabouts of Shivaji and a big troop of 2000 soldiers came to arrest him.
They surrounded the house in which bhajans were performed and dint let anyone go in or come out of the house.
Shivaji's informers came and whispered about the situation to him. Hearing this Shivaji was worried and one of his bodyguards asked Tukaram if they could leave now.
Tukaram then told him that no one should leave till the kirtan is over. Hearing this Shivaji sat down and continued to listen to the abhangs. He thought to himself that none other than Vitthal can save him now and if he doesn’t, he would be fortunate to die on an Ekadasi day
