Falling in love

Falling in love is easy and sometimes people say negative things like 'love hurts' but there are other sayings like 'it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all' which is the one I like to believe in. Truly falling in love means giving of yourself to another person and caring for their feelings above yours. Can we really do that? Can we really say that we were truly in love before when this is the definition? Those of us who are in love find ourselves becoming jealous of the object of our affection's interest in anyone else. It is only natural to fear losing the person we love. But, we should trust in Kanha. He never does anything to intentionally hurt us. If certain relationships don't work out then it is because they were not meant to work. If love is unrequited and we feel hurt because the other person does not share our feelings, it is because Kanha was trying to tell us that this was not the right person for us. I know that many people may think otherwise and debate this but that is what I truly believe - Kanha sends us signals that will prevent us from having a difficult life. He always takes care of us and a little heartbreak now is better than a difficult separation in the future. I also think that fear of being hurt in love is not enough of a reason to stop falling in love. We need love to be healthy. In medical studies of persons who are healthy in the long run are always those who are in love and having loving family members and care around them. Love guides us to do well and to be a better person for the ones we love. It helps us and gives us strength. In the end, can you say you will never love again because you are afraid of being hurt? I think that is untrue because you love Kanha and you always will. His love for us is the one thing we can always count on and believe in. So go ahead, fall in love. I love this picture of Radha and Krishna because their love is portrayed so well in it. If you fear hurt from love, think about Radha, she loved Kanha with all of her heart but she never asked him for anything in return except His love. Let us all love Him as truly as she does. Be happy and love Kanha forever. Jai Shri Krishna!
