"Kama muta" is Sanskrit term that refers
to an emotion that might also be called
"moved by love."
It is an under-recognized emotion that has
evolved to bind us to others and strengthen
our relationships. It motivates us to embrace
and care for other people.
Kama muta enhances our commitment to
our relationships and encourages us to act
with greater compassion and kindness.
We usually experience it in some of the most
important events in our lives - and it is commonly
exploited by writers to enhance the emotional
impact of their stories.
You are another me. If I do harm to you,
I harm myself. If I love and respect you,
I love and respect myself.
