Q. 140: Gurudev, What is unconditional love and how can we love a person unconditionally, and when can we do that?

 

Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

When you don’t want anything inreturn, that is called unconditional love, not even a thanks or a sense of gratitude or gratefulness. A lot of times people help others but these little expectations are there and that is what bugs them and pulls them down. That is also a condition.

Unconditional love comes naturally as your consciousness blossoms. You can’t force it on yourself or cultivate it. I don’t know how to cultivate it. It’s simply a phenomenon. When your consciousness expands, rises, then, what comes out of it is unconditional love. You say, I’m here for you and I want nothing from you. This comes to you and it has come to you with some people but with many others, you have some expectations.
