Defining Love: Through the Lens of Sandeep Sir and Dr. Pradeep Sir
Sandeep Maheshwari Sir says, “Love is not an emotion; it is an energy. It is the force that gives you the joy of giving without expecting anything in return. Love is felt when you find yourself ‘important’ to someone, without any conditions.”
Meanwhile, Dr. Pradeep Kumar Sir says in his unique style, “Friends, love is a virus of the heart! But it’s a positive virus. It reduces your stress hormones and boosts your happiness hormones. It’s natural therapy. And this therapy can come to you from anywhere, anyone, anytime.”
Both experts agree on one thing—love is an unconditional touch, given freely, that fills our existence with meaning.
My Moment: When a Stranger Showed ‘The Love of Humanity’
I am a content creator. Most of my time is spent in front of a screen, chasing ideas, and dealing with the stress of deadlines. One day, I had a late-night flight. I finished a project and went straight to the airport. I was exhausted, hungry, thirsty, and felt like a ‘machine.’
On the flight, an elderly gentleman was seated next to me. We began with just a formal smile. During the flight, I was busy working on my laptop. When the cabin lights dimmed and meal service began, I felt so tired that the sight of the food tray made me lose my appetite. I just drank some water and tried to sleep.
Then, I opened my eyes. On my tray were a banana and two biscuits. I looked up, surprised. The elderly gentleman was smiling. In his gentle, affectionate voice, he said, “Son, as long as we are alive, we must fuel our bodies. You work so hard; at least eat a little. I noticed you didn’t eat anything.”
Hearing this, my eyes welled up. At that moment, I was no longer a ‘content creator.’ I was simply a ‘son,’ being cared for by a stranger. There was no pity in his eyes—just a natural, familial affection. That banana and biscuits didn’t just fill my hunger; they filled an emotional void inside me. This was unconditional love—he didn’t ask my name or my profession; he simply saw a person and understood their need.
More Examples of Love: Treasures in Everyday Life
Countless such examples are scattered around us; we just need the eyes to see them:
1. For a Student: A father placing his hand on your shoulder after bad exam results and saying, “It’s okay; you were trying, and that’s enough for me.” This is love—rising above performance.
2. For a Professional: After working overtime for three consecutive days, your boss leaves a cup of hot tea and a note on your desk without being asked: “Your hard work is noticed. Thank you.” This is love—the feeling of being seen and acknowledged.
3. For a Homemaker: When the whole family praises your cooking, that’s love. But an even greater love is when, after dinner, while everyone is watching TV, your husband walks into the kitchen and quietly starts washing the dishes, saying simply, “You rest for a while.”
4. For Everyone: Helping an elderly person board a bus in a crowded stand… An auto-rickshaw driver smiling and saying, “Give it next time, brother,” when you’re short on change… A child in the park smiling at you for no reason…
How to Recognize and Appreciate Such Moments? (Practical Tips)
Dr. Pradeep Sir would say, “To notice these moments, change the ‘scan’ of your mind. Remove the negativity filter; apply the positivity filter.”
1. Practice Mindfulness: Spend 5 minutes a day reflecting on the people and moments that made you feel good.
2. Keep a Gratitude Journal: Every night before sleeping, write down one loving moment from your day, no matter how small.
3. Lower Expectations: When you stop expecting things from others, their unconditional gestures will become clearer to you.
4. Become a Source of Love Yourself: As Sandeep Sir says, “The hand that gives is always above the hand that receives.” Try doing a small act of kindness for someone. The love you share will return to you manifold.
Conclusion: Love is a Choice, a Perspective
So friends, “Can you share a positive example of where you’ve felt loved?”—you now have the answer to this question. These examples are scattered in the cupboard of your own memories. All you need to do is dust them off and admire their shine.
Love is not a language; it is a feeling. Love is not a transaction; it is dedication. Love is not a display; it is meaningfulness. From today, from this moment, make a resolve: not only will you recognize those small stories of love, but you will also become one such positive example in someone else’s life.
Because, as Sandeep Maheshwari Sir says, “Life is too big to be wasted on small things.” And these ‘small moments of love’ are the very things that fill our lives with greatness and beauty.
Remember, you are loved, you are valuable, and you are not alone. Love is all around you; you just need to expand your heart to feel it.
