What is love?
There are three kinds of love:-
The first type is 'I have fallen in love'. This type of love makes you full of lust.
The second type of love is Conditional Love, 'I love you because you love me'.
The third type of love is Unconditional Love, it is divine. The catch phrase is, 'in spite of everything, I love you'. This is the authentic love.

A distressed mind causes misery and unhapiness. Go to the cause. The cause is multiple, unrealisitic desires.

How to bring about happiness?
Mind control and self-discipline are necessary for peace of mind. Today, scientists believe that physical well being also depends on the state of the mind. One needs more knowledge of inner emotions. Intelligence, education, physical comforts does not make one happy.
Go to the source of happiness. Happiness comes from love and compassion. Love is not only an emotion, Love is action too. Love evokes compassion, it evokes kindness. Love gives rise to many more emotions like being helpful and reducing the misery around. Love gives us higher goals, and greater vision.
