  Spiritual love and wordly love...

  New Title

  

  Spiritual love means love without expectations.
  Ordinarily when one loves anyone there is some form of expectation attached and it is conditional. However spiritual love is unconditional, no matter what the circumstances are. This form of love is divine and only develops after a considerable amount of spiritual practice when one perceives God in everyone. So also, we become happier individuals when our love is not adulterated or diluted by expectations.
  love with expectation is based on the similarities with another person’s nature. But there is no guarantee that all aspects of our nature will be similar or compliment the other person’s nature. When we begin to discover the difference, that’s when the strife and trouble begins.
  On the other hand, spiritual love or love without expectation is based on the unchanging Soul. This is akin to how a string links the beads on a necklace whatever the shape, colour or size – the external nature is not important. The hole in each bead represents our soul which is the same for all of us i.e. the God in one is not in any way different from the God within another.

  I think you are trying to get at what I call charity. It is the love like Christ gave and still gives.

  When we bow to eachother in greeting, we mean to say "I give reverence to the connection we share through the great being which created us both."

  Charity looks more at the potential of people than to the demeanor of a person. There is more than what meets the eye.

  There are many aspects of worldly love. Within those aspects of worldly love there are distinct differences. The love of a brother, the love of a pet, the love of sunshine and love enhanced by sexuality for some examples. Spiritual love is similar with those distinctions. As spiritual beings our souls do evolve. They grow at a different rate as here on this plane. Consider the childlike soul, how the love that comes through is subtly different then that of a spiritualy adult soul.
