Love Can Only Blossom In Freedom

When freedom is restricted, love suffocates.

- 

You need to be free. Often love is stifling. When you are in love or when you love somebody, you feel stifled because you are obliged. When there are so many obligations that you need to fulfill, these obligations become a load on your head and you get the additional responsibility of not hurting people you love and who love you. In a subtle sense, this takes the freedom away and slowly, demands start arising in you. The moment, demands arises in you, know that love is on its deathbed. Love is in an oxygen chamber and it doesn’t live very long.

Demand destroys love. Freedom is essential.

So, whether in the world, in religious or in spiritual matters, follow love rather than the rules.
