  1. LOVE comes only when the mind is very quiet, disinterested, not self-centered.
  2. 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.
  3. This process of usage, thinking, imagining, holding, enclosing, rejecting, is all smoke, and when the smoke is not, the flame of LOVE is.
  4. LOVE has now almost become synonymous with sex & its expression & all that is involved in it — self-forgetfulness and so on.
  5. LOVE that uses, exploits, and then feels sorry cannot be love, because love is not a thing of the mind.
  6. Where there is dependence, there is fear, and where there is fear, there is authority, there is no LOVE.
  7. 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.
  8. LOVE is not the pursuit or the avoidance of fear.
  9. LOVE is not attachment.
  10. LOVE has no suffering.
