True love does not ask for any rights. For love, sacrifice is success. The heart is the field of action for love. Love has nothing to do with superficial bhava or emotion. Love means forgetting one's self and becoming one with the loved one. When in love, there is no place for demands, expectations, desires and reciprocation. Love believes in sacrifice. The expressed characteristics of love are attraction. Love means being owned by swajan ( person near and dear to you ). Love encompasses letting go, sacrifice and offering of everything. It also includes forsaking even one's own existence. In love there is no misunderstanding, feeling of being unappreciated and pride. When and where true love is expressed, it creates eternal joy and happiness and not the fire that destroys everything. In love there is penance, suffering and obstacles yet there is no affliction, quarrels and sadness in bearing all these. There is nothing to lose in true love.
