“Love is not one, nor does it have a single form. There are loves that bind and loves that liberate. There are loves that ask and loves that give. At its lowest levels, love is a desire for possession, an impulse disguised as affection, a power struggle covered with soft words. That is why many people consider love to be suffering.
But love can also be different when it is not directed at someone. When it does not seek control or reward, when it is no longer a relationship but a presence, it becomes a quality of being. You do not love, you are love. Then there is no dependence, no demands, no requirements, only silent abundance. That love does not hurt, does not harm, does not exhaust, does not complain. It radiates, like the perfume of a flower that does not know whom it reaches. Like the sun that rises for everyone.
The love that comes from meditation is not reduced to feeling or emotion. It is clarity. It is communion without fear. Only a heart at peace can love without hurting. Only a mind without division can offer love without conflict. And when that love appears, it ceases to be a bridge to another… it becomes a revelation of the eternal in you.”
