10 Things about LOVE
Jul 30, 2017 · 1 min read

- LOVE comes only when the mind is very quiet, disinterested, not self-centered.
- LOVE comes into being when the mind is naturally quiet, not made quiet, when it sees the false as false and the true as true.
- This process of usage, thinking, imagining, holding, enclosing, rejecting, is all smoke, and when the smoke is not, the flame of LOVE is.
- LOVE has now almost become synonymous with sex & its expression & all that is involved in it — self-forgetfulness and so on.
- LOVE that uses, exploits, and then feels sorry cannot be love, because love is not a thing of the mind.
- Where there is dependence, there is fear, and where there is fear, there is authority, there is no LOVE.
- Sensation is a process of thought, which is not LOVE. When the mind is dominant and the thought process is important, there is no LOVE.
- LOVE is not the pursuit or the avoidance of fear.
- LOVE is not attachment.
- LOVE has no suffering.
