Gurudev, is it necessary for two people to think alike to fall in love? Can there not be love along with differences of opinion?
See, you have something else on your mind, and you are asking something else. If I give you an answer, you will use that answer in some other way. I am not going to get caught into these traps. If you are clever, even I am clever. I will share an inci ... -
How do we overcome heartache and find true love?

Gurudev, why should we love a terrorist?

I want to be in love, but there seems to be a conflict between love and knowledge. How to integrate the two? With all my love!
You have done it already! If you don’t have love for knowledge, why would you ask for it? And if you know it, how is it possible that you can’t be in love? Knowing brings love in you, and love in turn, creates that interest to know more. ...
