Can Self-Love Be Harmful?

[@sandeepmehta4497]

Today western world is teaching “First love yourself.” I never understood what people think about this. They start following such things without processing any logic or understanding. True love is to explore your heart, open it up, feel the sweetness and emit same in the world.

[@princedame9534]

Love yourself in the sense that you need to take care of yourself which is pretty obvious

[@sandeepmehta4497]

@@princedame9534 agreed, you need to take care of yourself but people understand it in a way that it is the only thing. The idea is to take care of yourself so you can do better for your family, society and the world and extend yourself. Self-love is driving people to be paranoid!

[@martinst8764]

Yes, me too. It can be quite a confusing notion, to 'love yourself'. This whole notion is even used as a phrase to mock people who hate themselves (which is actually a huge problem in the west!). Obviously, it's preferable to love yourself rather than hate yourself but regards Truth, both are limiting. You only have to be what you are without dictating ideas about life and goodness. Sadhguru makes this very clear 👌

[@franklinayala4879]

Thee Bible teaches this

[@ichbin8420]

Selflove in which you care and focus only or primarily for yourself is ego. We are not here to only love ourselves but further more to love and care and serve others. This is our purpose and true nature. Only the ego mind that comes from a lacking place tells you to take care of yourself first. When you put yourself first you're not connected with the source. If you give yourself away you're free from ego and one with source and therfore with true love.

Right, if u love urself, u automatically love everything no?

[@BanBiofuels]

Good lecture. You can never escape your small self, only incorporate it into your larger self. The contradiction of life is that we all have to work to survive, yet when we drop all work and thought we experience our bigger self, which is universal, not local. Work is local, but no-thought is universal.

[@salliemae9284]

Self love means accepting your flaws and imperfections loving who you are and giving yourself love and affections. I believe that in order for me to love others I shall love myself first. If you obsessed with self love too much that it impedes your functioning then it becomes a disease therefore you have to balance your life . 20 percent pursuit of happiness and self love 20 percent for wealth 20 percent taking care of love ones your wife husband family 20percent rest and relaxation 20 percent spirituality /higher self.

[@Name_Lessness]

I too have been diagnosed with severe schizophrenia. When the voices were inside the head it's true I was searching for self love and we divided ourselves into 3 pieces, body mind spirit. Each explored the perfect way to be, realist, pessimist and optimist on any issue that pertained to us. As conchessnes expanded it also contracted and found balance in this process. All 3 agreed their is no right way to always be and that THAT is the right way to be and thus we became One. Now the voices are on the outside and the entities hear me, I sense their emotions, thoughts and their density/push and pull so I am diagnosed with Schitzoaffective disorder. I've learned an experienced and taught a great deal of many things and it's our understanding that when we open ourselves up to a universal possibility the universe responds to that application and what we experienced and know will become a more universal calling. Not believing in a delusion is also called a delusion. Thank you.

we are just souls.. your body doesnt belong to you..when you love your body, you mean to eat responsibly to nourish it and maintain it.. you need to take care of your mind and give the much needed love by reading/listening/singing etc.. with your passion.. self love is harmful only when you live as animal , not as a human who knows that we are part of universe, we born on karma , and we are to love and nourish the earth we belong to.. self love to be expanded as big as earth

[@jacksonlyons7144]

0:59 I want to say this before I might hear it, but I don’t think you can always stay balanced. Like driving a car you have swerve a little left or right before you can remember to stay focused on driving straight, but you can never be perfect balance. I think you can only decrease how unbalanced and for how long you become unbalanced before you balance yourself out again.

[@jacksonlyons7144]

Also sorry if you’re not Christian I’m not either but I often try to understand it since I grew up on it first. I think balance is the reason why God(s) create evil. You could also argue that there ego and needing to be praised is also the reason they create evil, but that might be their nature like eating is too us. And in order for someone to praise and worship something there has to be a side in a pendulum they side with to feel the need to praise and worship. Making it a necessity for us too.

Self-love is essential, but it's possible to take it too far. When self-love becomes an obsession, it can lead to self-absorption and a lack of empathy towards others. Remember to balance self-love with self-awareness and kindness towards others.

[@Reginavici1234]

The love between a mother and her baby is the purest form of love. If the mother starts to balance self love and self awareness the results would not be very pleasing. The self love that people are talking about is called confidence not self love. And you are already self aware you don't need to balance that it's called consciousness.

I believe Self Love also translates to the self that we all are, AhamBrahmasmi! If we live in love, the world will be a more loving place as we all inhabit the same energy and are one with it, even if we feel separated.. I think this is the true meaning of self love, when you are loving towards yourself you become a vessel for love instead of hate, disturbance, aggression, jealousy, confusion and so on.... "The Self is below, above, behind, in front, to the right, to the left. The self is everything. The personal self is the same as the impersonal self. Atma and Brahman are equal." (From ´The science of the Rishis`by Vanamali)

When u say “ I love myself”, there is one who is being loved and one who is loving . You make two out of individual, that’s why Sadhguru referred it as schizophrenia.

[@2yourpatronus]

He is trying to say that ' I love my SELF' contains 2 entities, one is the 'I' and another is the 'self'. Then which one is you? Only one exists, another one is ego. If you want to say, you can say - ' I love'.

[@manjirosano1707]

Same I think he got a different meaning of self love. Self love is not like relationships and stuff like that. It's simply just accepting yourself, loving the way you are and being unbothered from what other people think about you because you know how worthy you are. I don't think it's madness, it's important. Since we're living in a judgemental society, people are always pointing out our weakness and flaws and making us feel like we're useless. By loving ourselves we are accepting how we are and becoming ready to face those judgements. Self love is powerful as long as it doesn't create ego. At this point of life, I'm not loving myself as I used to before. And to be honest it started feeling very empty and like something that I just can't explain. Now I'm realizing how important self love is. Hope I can be like before again soon.
