The path to Tranquility (spring)
28. Let love be like clear spring water
Love has a very precious value in life and can bring us pleasure, happiness and satisfaction. If we neglect the cultivation of love, the relationship will become unclear, affecting our work, study and life. Therefore, cultivating love is our first priority, which can bring the best feelings in life.
The first step to cultivate love is to make love like clear spring water rather than turbulent sea water. Passion arises from desire, and this desire arises from the lack of a clear spring. Once we have a clear spring, this desire will disappear. Therefore, when passion turns into peaceful love, it is worth celebrating.
Conflicts are common in the early stages of a relationship, but passion, like the first stream of water from a deep spring, can gradually transform these conflicts. As time went by, the deep spring gradually calmed down and love became stable. Learn to be tolerant, accept each other's different habits and ideas, respect each other's choices, and appreciate each other's differences. By doing this, we can reduce conflicts and make relationships more harmonious.
Communication is the key to cultivating love. By expressing our emotions sincerely and listening to each other, we can build deep, natural and peaceful relationships. When we share the joys and sorrows together and become close partners, love can be reflected in every ordinary little thing.
Passion turns into love, just as the turbulent sea evaporates into clouds and rain, and then turns into calm springs and streams, nourishing the earth. When passion turns into true love and returns to reason and consciousness, we will pay more attention to each other's needs and feelings and create a better life in pure love.
The transition from excitement to calm in love is often misunderstood because we are used to the emotion of excitement. Once the emotions calm down, we worry that the relationship is getting boring or that the other person is getting tired of us or ignoring our needs. This is when we need to recognize that fear is a signal that reminds us that we must focus on developing the relationship. We should not look at the present through the eyes of the past, nor should we imagine the future with fear. Instead, we should move beyond fear and have a higher awareness of passion, love, and marriage.
Passion is an emotion fueled by desire that can cloud our judgment, leading us to mistakenly believe that two people are a perfect match and thus neglect communication. Passion may be the reason that brings two people together, but love is the foundation of a strong relationship. By understanding each other's true heart, we can remove our defenses, allowing the relationship to become intimate and transform into true love.
Mutual understanding, care and respect are the basis of love. In love, even if two people live together day and night, they still like and are attracted to each other and are willing to do their best to meet each other's needs. Therefore, love is also a relationship of shared life, allowing each other to work for the common good and constantly improve consciousness.
Getting married for love can not only protect love from external interference, but also give love more room to develop. Sharing a home to live and grow in is like having a deep spring of love that keeps flowing between each other. When we feel this deep and lasting tranquility, we will naturally understand the true meaning of love. Love is not only a higher level of power to protect life, but also a clear spring that nourishes the soul.
