The idea you have of love is an obstacle
to your happiness. How can this be? Simply because you believe that “love”
means either a total donation of oneself to the beloved or being the object of
someone else’s devotion – preferably both. Is this possible? Absolutely….
Provided you don’t stop here! Love is certainly a mutual donation of affection,
a communion of souls. The problem arises when you are convinced that without
“this” kind of love you cannot be happy. Romantic love is wonderful, but
totally insufficient to provide you with eternal bliss. Why? Because it is transient.
How many people are able to keep that wonderful feeling of mutual devotion,
without judgment nor resentment, throughout their entire lives? Love should be
above all considerations, because it reflects the awareness of our being “one”.
No “you and me”, no “me and the others”, no “I am right and you are wrong”, no
“You did this to me” etc… In true love there can only be total acceptance of
the other as a part, an aspect of one’s self.
