Aphorisms - Love
Life unlived is life unloved.
~
Intimate with love
Intimate with life
Intimate with myself
~
No less
No more
How I love thee
~
Love is always recognisable by the absence of choice in it.
~
Love, if it exists must be a constant thing and not the play of inconstancy.
~
Men's needs are ever being filled, therefore ever changing. When a need is filled, there is no longer a need. That is why love as we know it seldom seems to last. It is not the love that changes, it is the need.
~
Every child is born with love of the feeling of itself. What's gone wrong?
~
If you are a parent and truly love your child you will make it your selfless, loving responsibility to keep the child in contact with its original consciousness – the sweet feeling of itself.
~
When you feel delight you are feeling the beautiful feeling of yourself that you were born with.
~
Love is joy and joy has no opposite – there is only more or less.
~
Whether the person or object is present or not, the fact is that the love you feel or want is already within you.
~
You cannot feel another's love, because every bit of love has to be felt as yourself.
~
When you feel compelled to consider another and think you're being unselfish you are merely considering yourself: you consider the person as an extension of yourself and you do them a disservice because they are not that. If you love them you do not have to consider them. You only consider what you do not love. A mother who loves her child does not consider it. Her love knows what the child needs and she acts from there.
~
You must never consider anyone. You must love, and love does not have consideration.
~
Finally, when you are ready, when your likes and dislikes have lost most of their substance, love will provide the choiceless opportunity for you to serve love with your life. Then you will not have to choose or want again.
~
First, love will teach you how to love yourself. It will do this by compelling you to give up disliking and liking yourself. You will lose that choice. And you will feel like you are dying. It will then teach you not to like or dislike where you are. You will lose that choice too. And you will feel that you are dead.
~
Pure love is unselfish because it does not need to take a single thing from anyone, but it receives.
~
Love is real.
The love that knows pain is not real.
~
It is possible to love someone without liking them. As it is possible to like someone without loving them.
~
It is every man's unrealised longing to match the beauty he senses with the love he feels.
~

~
Love does not understand. Love knows.
~
