'Love does not mean what is ordinarily understood by it. The ordinary love is just a masquerade; something else is hiding behind it.
'Love does not mean what is ordinarily understood by it. The ordinary love is just a masquerade; something else is hiding behind it. The real love is a totally different phenomenon. The ordinary love is a demand. The real love is a sharing. It knows nothing of demand; it knows the joy of giving.
The ordinary love pretends too much. The real love is non-pretentious; it simply is. The ordinary love becomes almost sickening, syrupy, drippy, what you call "lovey-dovey." It is sickening, it is nauseating.
The real love is a nourishment. It strengthens your soul. The ordinary love only feeds your ego - not the real you but the unreal you. The unreal always feeds the unreal, remember; and the real feeds the real."
