-? ??Nats
Once telling me to love everyone equally, unbiasedly, and selflessly. Now the master was asking me to practice love by law. I got confused. I asked the Master, on the one hand you said: we? don’t even have to think, whether they love us or not. We just need to love them selflessly. That means, no matter how much a person takes me for granted, disrespects me, doesn’t understand my opinion, I have to love him or her. On the other hand, you are saying love by law?

What is this law about? I haven’t heard of any such law created by any government. Master laughed with wisdom. I couldn’t understand why he was laughing. I asked him, why are you laughing, Master? '' He replied, ``I am laughing at your innocent child.” My innocence? Am I innocent? I asked. We all are; He replied. I asked him, how? He said: I will tell you this some other day. For now, you understand the love by law.?
He continued... you don’t have to allow someone to take you for granted, you don’t have to allow someone to disrespect you. Infact, “don’t love someone more than yourself, otherwise, you will lose yourself. And if you lose yourself, you can’t love anyone.”? For sure, you have to set boundaries. You must? know the boundaries of tolerance. For that, you need to love yourself selflessly. You need to respect yourself. Also, understand the difference between ego and self-respect. Often, we mix both of them .??
I asked the Master, how to identify the difference, Master??
Master said, very simple. When you are at a mistake but you are not accepting it, neither to yourself nor to the person, it’s ego. But when you are accepting the mistake it means you respect yourself. You are a powerful soul. It takes a lot of power to accept self faults. Self-respect means that the soul is stable in his higher consciousness. And when we are in higher consciousness, we accept our mistakes and improve. We are not in ego consciousness. When we are in ego, we think, i am the only best. '' When we are in respect, we say, “I am the best, I don't have a comparison with anyone.”

I was satisfied with the master's answer. Now my next question was, Master how to love myself, selflessly??
Master said, when you are in your higher consciousness, you naturally emerge selfless love within. Our original nature is love. So we don’t have to beg for it. We have forgotten our original nature and power to love. Now, we have to emerge it again from within. And when we arise as the power of love, we learn the balance of love and law. For instance, your friend is offering you liquor, but your instinct does not allow you to pick up the glass. However, you love him so much. You are in a dilemma, what to do now? You have two choices, whether you can pick up the glass and disrespect yourself. Or you don’t pick up the glass and respect yourself. Here when you disrespect yourself, it means, you lack self-love, you are weak, you get influenced easily. But if you deny, you respect yourself and your ethics. This is called love by law. Therefore, maintain the balance between love and law. Don’t do things that are against your ethics or which your instinct doesn’t allow. In this situation, you may make your friend happy for a moment, but you will lose your self-respect.?
Let’s take another example. If you have high aspirations, and goals but your family doesn’t support you. You have to make a strong decision to accomplish that goal against your parents. Today they may not support you. But when you achieve your goal, they will be proud of you. Likewise, you don’t have to allow someone to take you for granted. You have to learn to say “No”. As a result, being emotionally strong is loving by law.?
The universe has created everything to be in balance. Anything less is not good but anything in excess is also not good. Therefore, maintain the balance.?
I was amazed by my master's enlightenment. I hope you have also got the clarity on, “attachment is not love, Attachment Vs Detachment, and Love by Law.
Keep loving yourself and your loved ones.?
See you soon
