New Life #601 – The Search For Love
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz
Summary
Everyone wants love, yet it seems that it is impossible to attain it. Love is connection between the Kli (vessel [1]) and the Light [2]. True love [3] is that I fulfill the other and not myself. It is fulfilling him, not being fulfilled by him.
To achieve love, it is necessary to rise above our ego. This can be in couples or with friends.
“And you shall love your friend as yourself” (Leviticus 19:18): Just as nature created self-love in me, it is up to me to ask for it to build love in me. I want to love others without any personal interest.
“Love covereth all transgressions” (Proverbs 10:12): If a force comes and corrects you, you no longer see defects in others. We will not succeed in achieving true love in relationships as long as we don’t realize the general rule, “And you shall love your friend as yourself” in society.
It is necessary to seek love within us, not partners who are appropriate for what we are missing but the desire to love.
Love is built from concessions, not from each one coming with demands from the other. Love is enjoying concession. A person thinks that if he fulfills himself, if he loves himself, he will achieve happiness. This is erroneous, it is false. It is up to us to learn how to be fulfilled correctly, eternally, and perfectly. This will happen only through love of others.
