How Do I Love Myself?


Love is not a selfish emotion. Love is unbiased.  If I want to truly love anyone, I must love impartially, beginning with loving myself!

How do I love myself?

I love myself by being neither selfish nor self-centered. I cannot love myself by restricting every living act that I perform to myself alone. In this way I will stifle the life within myself.

I love myself by becoming the center of my existence, though not the circumference. I become conscious of the fact that my existence is a derivative of the Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient God – Love.  The Supreme Power that does not create any negative entity or energy has created me and everyone else. So, when I remain conscious at all times of this identity of myself and continuously hold this view of myself as emanated by the Immaculate One - I love myself.

As I am a part of the pure and divine energy that is, I am incapable of being impure at any time. So, the negative emotions like anger, fear, doubt, jealousy, sin, sickness and death are not any part of my true identity and being. Whenever I find myself drenched with these negative feelings, I love myself by asserting that these are not a part of me. I correct my thoughts, thus my actions get corrected. This correction of thought is, loving myself.

As I continue to love myself, I move closer to my origin - the Divine Source. I am refined and metamorphosed to become transparent. I reflect my creator- Love, to the extent that I holistically become one with the ONE.

Hence, I love myself by consciously viewing myself as a reflection of Love-God and losing my false ego or mortal-self in the process. I become the center, the hub of Love, loving myself so much that the love overflows to everyone who comes into contact with me. In the end in this love-story, only LOVE remains and the false pretentious I, perishes.

    Self-development, thus, is the outcome of becoming more and more aware of oneself with respect to others.... creations from the same source.

      What if it isn't reciprocated?

      How can self-love not be reciprocated dear Pankaj? And if self-love is there, then I will never be dependent upon love from an outside source. Also, I can only love others once I love myself.

      So the self-lover is just preparing to externalize his/her love? :)
