The definition of love does not mean to satisfy our own senses and pleased by person whom we love instead when we love someone we don't even think of our own comfort but to serve that person become the only motto of our life.
Love means sacrifice, when we love someone we must be ready for all sacrifices what comes in between.
We know how much love for Lord Rama is in the heart of Laxmana and same Lord Rama also has affection with Laxmana.
But from one incident we will get to know how Laxmna served Lord Rama and for keeping Lord Rama's promise and happiness, how happily he chose his own death.
When Lord Rama killed Ravana and ruled Ayodhya for 11,000 years, one day when Lord Rama was sitting with Laxmana and discussing some political matter then suddenly Time in the form of a sage came and ask Lord Rama to discuss some urgent matter immediately.
He asked Lord Rama no one should hear our discussion and if someone hears our conversation he will meet to death and there should be someone who must guard us no one should interrupt us else you have to punish him as penalty of death.
Lord Rama agreed and assured Time do not worry, you know we always keep our promise even it comes to our lives does not matter.
Time was discussing with Lord Rama saying, "My dear Lord your time is about to finish as in the form of human and Lord Brahma has told to remind you to come back to your spiritual abode now."
When discussion was going inside there great sage Durvasha Muni appeared and told Laxmana to tell Lord Rama to meet me immediately as it is very urgent.
But Laxamna told Durvasha Muni, My dear sage, Lord Rama has told me not to disturb as He is busy in some serious discussion.
On hearing this Durvasha Muni got angry and told Laxmana, you know me very well if you don't follow my order I will curse to whole Ayodhya and it will burn into ashes.
Laxmana already knew the anger of Durvasha Muni, He thought if he curse whole Ayodhya will suffer and if I disturb Lord Rama only I have to lose my life.
It is better if I serve Lord Rama and lose my own life and save Ayodhya too.
Laxmana agreed and asked Durvasha Muni to go and meet Lord Rama.
We see from this context, how Laxmana's love was for Lord Rama as He chose his own death but He never demands for His own pleasure.
The person who served His brother Lord Rama with full determination even not slept for 14 years during exile and always be with Lord Rama during war against Ravana.
If we see from the life of Laxmana , He has only done his scarifies all the time without any demand from his own pleasure.
When we love someone, we should think of his pleasure not for own gratification.
Hare Krishna!
