Today’s Question by the reader : Susan

I wonder if there is anything like ‘unconditional love’? Why does love cause hurt, if its unconditional?

“In all persons, all creatures, the Self is the innermost essence. And it is identical with Brahman: our real Self is not different from the ultimate Reality called God.”

The pianist in the shopping center - part 1

Paulo Coelho

I am strolling casually through a shopping center in the company of a violinist friend. Ursula, born in Hungary, is today a top musician in two international philharmonic orchestras. All of a sudden she grabs my arm:

“So, isn’t it

In a way your question is quite revealing of what society tries to instill in us: to be able to retain the rules of “dos” and “don’ts” of others.
