Love with No Conditions

There’s a difference between true love and selfish love. One is like sunshine, and the other is like a whirlpool. True love, like sunshine, radiates and shines over someone, whether they love the sun or not. Selfish love, on the other hand, is like a whirlpool that sucks in all the attention and demands love in return.

One is unconditional; the other one is not.

To the Yogis, true love means loving someone without any expectations of receiving love in return. It means giving love freely and finding happiness in the joy of the other person, rather than seeking validation or the same affection back. The very act of loving is what brings you happiness.

Not ‘I’ll love you if you do this… I’ll love you if you love me back… I’ll love you if you change this’— drop the ‘ifs.’ Let go of your selfish desires and expectations. Just love.
