A Sikh Perspective on Love

Navleen Kaur — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 17:23:26 +0000

"Hear you all, I say the truth, He who loves alone attains God"

( Tenth Nanak-Dasam Granth)

Sikhi stresses that without love the journey cannot begin, our traditions, practices are empty and useless. There are countless examples in the Siri Guru Granth Sahib of what "to love "is, it is an action, a verb:

"Listen my heart, Let thy love be that of the lotus for the pool, though the ripples shake the lotus and torment it, it flowerth and loveth even more the waters.

A Jewish perspective on Love

Love your neighbour as yourself. I am God. (Leviticus 19: 17-18)

In the Mishnah, one of the earliest legal texts, in the section known as the ‘Ethics of the Fathers' which is studied every year between Passover and Shavuot, we are taught that the world stands on three things: On Torah, on service (or worship), and on acts of loving kindness (Pirkei Avot 1:2).

Love matters

Humanists believe that human beings are essentially social animals, and we are very dependent on each other.

A Christian perspective on Love

John Breadon — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 09:08:02 +0000

Is Christian love different?

It's been said that all you need is love. But what is love - and do Christians love any differently, or better, or worse, than anyone else? Sometimes, as a priest, I get involved in conversations with people about ‘How hard it must be to be a priest, because, don't you get sick of having to love people all the time?' My response is usually something like: ‘Well, yes, it is hard. But it's what I try and do, even though I'm always getting it wrong.'

A Buddhist perspective Love

Amaranatho — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 09:06:49 +0000

If there is love, there is hope that one may have real families, real brotherhood, real equanimity, real peace. If the love within your mind is lost and you see other beings as enemies, then no matter how much knowledge or education or material comfort you have, only suffering and confusion will ensue.

"Free Hugs" is the real story of a young Australian, Juan Mann, whose objective it is to meet unknown persons and hug them. As you can see by this video of free hugs, the effects of the campaign are wonderful. (Thanks to "Have a Magnificent Day" blogger Lee Papier for passing this on).

What might define a life fully lived?

Amaranatho — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 20:34:11 +0100

What might define a life fully lived? It’s a question many of us probably mean to ask ourselves. But never do. Not with any tenacity. Meet Alison: 93, registered blind, quietly spirited. A chance encounter with a city gent wearing a pin-striped suit, bowler hat and carrying a rolled umbrella might have gone unnoticed. If she’d been blind to the subtlety of life. My time with Alison had led me to wonder if we all have a part to play in the life of another.
