What does it mean to love yourself?

Dear friends,

Om shanti.  What does it mean to love yourself? It’s not really about 

the feeling of love, but about recognition of what is valuable to the 

self.  When you recognize the value of something, you bring it into your 

life and it benefits you. Those who have tasted the sweetness of 

maintaining pure and positive thoughts for the self do not get involved 

in lesser matters.  Pure and positive thoughts create good vibrations 

and a good atmosphere.  To realize the self, to stay in good vibrations 

and to draw a pure current from God– this is a feeling of friendship for 

the self.  This is what it means to love yourself.

When we love ourselves and bring benefit to ourselves, then 

automatically we will want to bring benefit to others. We will not see 

anyone’s weaknesses or defects.  We will make our thoughts subtle and 

positive, so that they are beneficial for everyone.

With love,

BK Janki
