WHAT IS REAL LOVE   And now I will show you the most excellent way.               If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.  If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.               Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.               Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled, where there is knowledge, it will pass away.   And now these remain; faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13    Can you love those who are being un-lovable, those who have rejected you, those who are very different then you or you don’t approve of?     What will it do for me to practice this spiritual law? It will make you a more excellent person. It will bring you good karma; it will soften your heart and make you more understanding. It will make you more attractive in every way. It will make you healthier.  Practice one or 100 acts of love this Valentine day for those you would not usually pick or those you don’t know.  You might find it hard to do at first, but then it will become a challenge and then it will turn to joy. It will come back to you thousands of times, thousands of ways. Namaste’
