Love is the most fundamental and powerful of all human emotions and yet perhaps the most misunderstood.
According to the ancient scriptures, there are two types of love-the lower love of attachment and the higher love of selflessness, called 'Sneha' and 'Prema' in Sanskrit respectively. When love is directed to a lower object of love it becomes Sneha, but when it is directed towards a higher object of love it becomes Prema.
The lower love of Sneha is selfish and keeps us bound, whereas the higher love of Prema is selfless and sets us free.
In order to attain total fulfillment in our lives it is important to understand and master the art of the higher love of Prema which transcends all boundaries of language, geography, culture, colour, religion, and race.
