Love - a state of consciousness

06/05/2018

Love, true love, is not only superior to sexual attraction, but to sentiment as well. True love is not a feeling, but a state of consciousness. The attraction between two beings has to do with vibrations, with fluids; it depends on elements that are purely physical and is therefore subject to change. Feeling is already superior to attraction, because it may be inspired by factors of a moral, intellectual, or spiritual nature, but feeling is also variable: one day we love, the next we no longer love. Whereas love experienced as a state of consciousness lies well beyond circumstances and people. It is the state of a being who has become so pure, who has developed such self-mastery that they have succeeded in attaining the sublime regions of divine love. From that moment on, love dwells within them and, whatever their activities, they dispose of this love for the benefit of all creatures.
