All the things that truly matter, beauty, love, creativity, joy and inner peace arise from beyond the mind.
To love is to recognize yourself in another.
You are the love and joy beneath the pain.
What is God? The eternal one life underneath all the forms of life. What is love? To feel the presence of the one life deep within yourself and all creatures; to be it! Therefore, all love is the love of God.
To the ego, loving and wanting are the same, whereas true love has no wanting in it, no desire to possess or for your partner to change.
The place that I love most is the stillness. It's not that the stillness is lost when I talk or when I teach because the words arise out of the stillness. But when people leave me, there is only the stillness left. And I love that so much.
How wonderful to go beyond wanting and fearing in your relationships. Love does not want or fear anything.
What is commonly called 'falling in love' is in most cases an intensification of egoic wanting and needing. You become addicted to another person, or rather to your image of that person. It has nothing to do with true love, which contains no wanting whatsoever.
Love is the recognition of oneness in the world of duality.
