What does it mean to love somebody? Love always wants to put something into movement, to influence someone. Love doesn’t imply being emotional but being oriented for better change. It is the only force freeing human beings from the curse and actions set out to destroy others.
Service and love are inseparable. Love without action is dead or expressed in a different way. Love doesn’t allow categorical thinking, doesn’t confine anyone. On the contrary, it frees humans and lets them find their true self, as the universe intended.
Earlier the symbolics of “washing the feet” expressed compassion for the other and it has the same connotation now. This gesture showcases not only love but also underlines the loyalty and service towards the loved one.
