When you start practicing calculated love more and more, self-doubt, self-hatred, and self-denial melt down.  The confidence you then develop on you grows and the energy you radiate becomes unconditional love.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3>Do not deny calculated, conditional love<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>When\nlove is calculated and conditional, if you deny it, you destroy the\npossibility for the next level.  It is like the leaf of a small plant\ncan\u2019t be eaten, but when you wait and allow the tree to grow, the\nflower and the fruit of the tree will be useful.  Similarly, the\nconditional, calculated and planned love will start in your life,\nbecause that is the best way to start relating with life.  When it\nstarts, don\u2019t deny, destroy and abuse it.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<p>If you think, \u201cIf I smile, (s)he also may smile, then I will develop a contact.  Tomorrow (s)he may become a partner in my business, (s)he may become a partner in my life, or (s)he may support me in my venture\u201d, whatever you may be planning, that is fine. Flash that smile.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3>Develop confidence on love<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t\nstop the act of love, the function of love.  Because, even if it is\ncalculated, when you start functioning in the space of love, your\nconfidence on love starts getting built.  That confidence will get\nyou to radiate unconditional love.  With more and more deeds, doings\nof love, this confidence on love and functioning out of the space of\nlove starts developing.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3>The space of Oneness<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>One\nof the predominant things you need to develop in your life is\nconfidence to function out of the space of love.  Only from that\nconfidence, one can take a jump to function out of the \u2018Space of\nOneness\u2019 (Advaitha).  In the \u2018Space of Oneness\u2019, there is no\ncunningness, there is no condition, and there is no planning.  But,\nunfortunately, you don\u2019t have the courage to jump into that space.\nIt is because you don\u2019t have courage, you go on playing some\nhypocritical games in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3>Love Advaitha to Live Advaitha<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Start\nloving Advaitha to live Advaitha.  Most of you are stuck due to your\ninability to love and having wrong ideas about love.  You think it\nshould always be pure, unconditional, grand, life-sacrificing act.\nTill then you shut down.  No.  A plant cannot have the greed to bear\na fruit on day one.  No.  It needs to grow.  It needs to flower.\nThen the flower needs to become fruit.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<p>In\nthe beginning it may be a calculated or small act.  That is ok.\nStart with your courage to perform small acts of love, you will\ndevelop so much of confidence on acting out of the inner space of\nlove.  It is love that gives you that experience of Advaita\nimmediately as a jump start.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3>Unconditional love is spontaneous<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>\nWhen\nyou keep practicing love, automatically you will see, some of the\ngreatest sacrifices, unconditional acts, you will do it, before even\nyou thought you are planning or doing it.  All great acts of\nunconditional love and sacrifice is done only in the space where you\ndon\u2019t even think.  But for that space to grow in you, in the\ninitial level you need to encourage even the small and conditional\nacts of love.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Based on satsangs delivered by rare Living Incarnation Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Love Current Of Mahadeva\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Luux2cpFs48?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttp:\/\/nithyananda.org\/video\/love-stepping-stone-living-advaita\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>See\nother Satsangs at<em>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/youtube.com\/lifeblissfoundation\">http:\/\/youtube.com\/lifeblissfoundation<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Practicing doing simple acts of love, even if they are calculated and planned, gives you a glimpse of Oneness, the space of enlightenment.
