Why is self-love so difficult to 'practice'?
Because most of us are trying to love from the ego, the separate self, that is never fulfilled and in constant lack.
How can love be true and pure coming from a place of lack, or desperation and from a place of need?
Just like the sun that illuminates by being itself, the true SELF loves by being itself, for it is pure love, pure bliss and pure peace.
Seek not love by projecting a false and needy love outward. But devote to return to one's true nature, and let that love that is one's essential nature flow all around.
In the words of Sri Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi, "Your own Self-realization is the greatest service you can render the world.”
