hey people...
nice to see ur comments on one of the most sensitive emotions - LOVE.
i feel a person actually FALLS IN LOVE..& thats because when u r in love ur life changes drastically....
everything seems to slow down...
u keep thinking about that special someone all the time...
u feel like that someone should be with u all the time...
u want to do all possible things to please them...
so actually if u see our mind does not act normally....u cannot concentrate on ur studies or ur work..the thoughts of ur love keep coming in to ur head....
u keep imagining how u would enjoy the time u will be spending together...hand in hand.u become more careful of ur hair , looks & appearance , while otherwise u r just chilled about it.
thats a time when ur emotions ,ur heart control ur head...
& this is unconditional love, where the looks of ur lover dont matter,beacuse its more than physical attraction....neither does it matter if they are rich or poor, married or divorced...younger or older to u in age.
rationality or practicallity takes a back seat.
Love will never make people fall in it. In fact, it creates way and space for one to grow in it.
Dont misunderstand attraction, infatuation, lust etc. to love. one will understand Love only when they experience it.
To all those who are in love, do not ever try to grab and put love under ur control... It's foolish. Freedom is the very nature of love. If u try to grab it, it will destroy u.
If u respect it's nature, and let it be free, it will come back to u in a better way.
A nice article from Swami Vivekananda....
I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me.
Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand with some water and held it before me, and said this:
"You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love."
This was how I saw it:
As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to close your fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spill through the first cracks it find
This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love...they try to posses it, they
demand, they expect... and just like the water spilling out of your hand, love
will retrieve from you. For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature. If there are people you love, allow them to be free beings.
Give and don't expect.
Advise, but don't order.
Ask, but never demand.
It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice. It is the secret to true love. To truly practice it, you must sincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet an unconditional caring." Passing thought...
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take; but by the moments that take our breath away.....
Life is beautiful!!!
So, my dear friends...
Love is like Mercury. In ur attempt to grab it, u will fall. Be careful with it. u might fall
rising in love is understood all over the world already, poets, painters, philosophers are all talking about rising in love, falling in love is a term which denotes the state of a persons mind and associated tunnel view and restricted thoughts. It mostly means being engrossed into one persons memory, thoughts and imginations associated with Him /her.
Same can happen to a guy with a car or a bike, i have seen people getting too much attached to their possesion and they are too touchy about the same, thought you won't accept it as the flow of information and messages is not from the otherside yet the pull is strong, in loves case the other side is providing subtle or strong mesasges strengthening the state of mind, or reinforcing.

Because falling is soooo much easier and instantly self gratifying. It's like the most awesome high you can get. Raiseing in love, if i take that to mean building a deep love of someone,say a good friend, for example just takes more time and attention than certainly most americans have nowdays. But it's a helluva' lot more satisfying in the long run than falling.

I think part of the reason why we use "fall" is because it is easy to say. However, the word "fall" seems to make some implications about the assumptions of love. When one falls, one cannot help but be pulled by gravity; in the same manner, a assumption about love is one cannot help but be in love. Love can also be associated with a depth of feeling. Depth is usually assumed to go down within something. To fall is to be within the depth of feeling. Falling is also an action; just as one travels (in some manner) when one falls, so one is constantly "travels" when intimately discovering another person. These are just some thoughts about the phrase "falling in love".

Hi,
There is an aspect to falling in love where you "lose control".
While falling, you simply obey the law of gravity. You need not do anything of your own volition. On the other hand while rising, you must somehow fight against gravity; using something like wings or jumping with your legs, etc. Rising doesn't just "happen to you", and it depends very much on what you yourself decide to do.
Metaphorically, the suggestion is that when you fall in love, you do so not of your own free will, but instead because you are compelled--just like you do when you fall. It's not something that you struggle for or consciously attempt to do--as you would need to do in order to rise.
Hope that helps!

Its not so, if you TRUELY love someone you are bound to feel raised. True love raises a person above the non-loving persons. But remember there is a diff b/w love and lust. It is just attraction towards opp. sex or lust that causes "fall" in love not a True Love, which always encourages you to sacrify.

I have no much experience on this, but as far as my knowledge, one falls in love is just a statement whereas to rise in love is all upto the hands of the people who are in love with how much understanding, love and concern they rise.

Don't you know you fall a prey, not rise ?
Jesting apart, my simple and straight understanding is that love is one of the very few emotions that dilutes the self willingly. The lover happily places the loved one higher up than him/herself.
On the other hand, you rise in pride, or anger, or revolt, emotions that fortify the self.

The day a person distinguishes between love as a noun and verb and does not confuse the two and goes on to graduate from love to Love, he starts Rising.
