My Own Discovery of What Love Is
This is my own journey of discovering what love truly is. By love, I do not mean pleasure, nor attachment to another person, nor sexual attraction. I mean something deeper – a love that is not born of thought.
Imagine sitting quietly, watching a tree without attachment, without knowledge, without desire. When there is no movement of memory or thought, something else appears. Is that love?
We all know duality – good and bad, right and wrong, happiness and sorrow. If you look at yourself, you can divide everything: inside and outside, past and future. But love seems to be beyond this division. Love has no opposite.
To observe love, one must first see fear, desire, anger – and not escape them, not resist them, but watch them without the interference of memory. Then perhaps something new flows, without effort, without control. If you try to grasp love, it disappears. If you try to create its opposite, it cannot exist.
Can love be created? I cannot create it. I only discover it when I am watching nature, when the mind is quiet, free from the noise of thought. Everything else – society, ambition, pleasure – is mechanical, conditioned. But love, when it comes, is not mechanical.
One may cut down a tree, poison the earth, destroy what is living. That is not the opposite of love – it is the absence of it. Hatred, confusion, sorrow, suffering – these come when love is not.
True love cannot be possessed, controlled, or forced. It is not born of desire or power. It is present only when thought is still. It is a living movement beyond all opposites.
