I always use love as an analogy for Nirvana.


The Buddha was very adamant that Nirvana was not an intellectual experience. That meaning you could NOT reason out enlightenment--its not something to 'know' in that sense.
The experience of awakening or enlightenment and stepping into 'nirvana' can be expereinced by each man or woman, dumb or smart.


Likewise Being in love is the same. You can read as many text books and poems as you want, but there's this gut feeling that you 'know' instantly when you see two people falling in love, if you yourself have been in their shoes. Otherwise, it's an abstract, impossible to pin down idea.


The buddhist often describe nirvana in negative terms--in other words, not what it 'is', but what it 'isn't. They call it the unbecoming, the unconditioned, etc. etc.

Its like chipping away at a rock the way a sculpture does to create his art. He discards the pieces that are 'not' the statue he is creating. Thus is the way some concepts are explained.


Then again, how do you describe love as the absence of loneliness, hopelessness, selfishness, cynicism, etc. etc. when each person will refute the absolutes and exist in some grey area of consciousness thereby settling for something else.


I guess.

hmmm More or less when two people are involved in real love and are in tune (sharing commonalities) with each other mentally, spiritually, sexually, they share a bond. Their relationship can take each other to heights that's equivalent to nirvana or a euphoric state.

With a bond such as this, there's nothing that can interfere with it(distance,other people, ect) as long both of people in the relationship continue to communicate, love, and trust in each other.

Usually, when there's bond like these, they rarely part unless the sands of time erases it and makes it clear for them to move on.

The power of love is a curious thing
Make a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
More than a feeling thats the power of love

Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Stronger and harder than a bad girls dream
Make a bad one good make a wrong one right
Power of love that keeps you home at night

Chorus 1 :
You dont need money, dont take fame
Dont need no credit card to ride this train
Its strong and its sudden and its cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
Thats the power of love
Thats the power of love

First time you feel it, it might make you sad
Next time you feel it it might make you mad
But youll be glad baby when youve found
Thats the power makes the world goround

Chorus 2 :
And it dont take money, dont take fame
Dont need no credit card to ride this train
Its strong and its sudden it can be cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life

They say that all in love is fair
Yeah, but you dont care
But you know what to do
When it gets hold of you
And with a little help from above
You feel the power of love
You feel the power of love
Can you feel it ?
Hmmm

Chorus 3 :
It dont take money and it dont take fame
Dont need no credit card to ride this train
Tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel
You wont feel nothin till you feel
You feel the power, just the power of love
Thats the power, thats the power of love
You feel the power of love
You feel the power of love
Feel the power of love
Studies have shown the ass crack of the average Prince fan to be abnormally large. This explains the ease and frequency of their panties bunching up in it.

i agree. you can be as romantic as you want to be, but the first rule of farts still applies: everyone likes their own flavor.

i've never met one person who's ever said, "i love my partner so much, i miss the smell of his farts when he's away."

"We have laughs together.
I care about you.
Your concerns are my concerns.
We have great sex."


For me... the concept of true romantic love contains all the elements of having a very best friend (emotional intimacy, compatibility, trust, respect, admiration, sense of humor, commitment)- but with the added element of mutual passion with sex being the physical expression of that love.

Love to me is..

Telling him the truth, always.

To leave him alone when he needs his time, hugging him when he needs affection, understanding him when he needs me to, patience even when he isn't to teach him all about me, so that he can understand me, protecting him, even from himself, being his shoulder to cry on and trusting him to do the same, and knowing when to do all those things because I took the time to know his needs and always being sensitive to meet those needs.

To never raise your voice, or argue and call names, just say what you mean to say with tact compassion and grace.

To seek his embrace at any given time and to make love to him with passion, to keep him fully pleased is my desire.

after seeing him come out of surgery, taking off his oxygen mask, wiping off his snot covered face with your hand and kissing his slimy lips then saying ... "I am glad you are still here beautiful"

love is taking all his critisism with stride since you know he wants you to do/be the best person you can be.

To never hold the past against him. Not to hold things over his head, or do things to cause strife.

To compromise when I don't agree all the time, and to learn to grow from it.

Most importantly , love to me is to know that if this same man that you care for so much doesn't love you the same way, that the love you have for yourself is enough to keep you until you find the one that will. butterfly
