Love is not an idea

Love is not an idea. It is not fear or dependence. It is not jealousy, possessiveness or domination either. It's not responsibility or duty. It's not self-pity. It's also not the opposite of hate.

Love starts with freedom and passion, and ends with absolute oneness. Love is not past or future. It is ever-present and timeless. A mind full of thoughts cannot experience love.

In a movie, when we can no longer see the difference between the actor and the acting, as the actor and the acting have achieved oneness, it is love.

When we see a flower blooming, for absolutely no reason, it is love.
