QUOTE:
“Love is totally free from desire. It is utterly selfless. It seeks no return. It is all encompassing. It makes no distinction between friend and foe. Forgetting this concept of universal selfless Love, filling themselves with selfless desires, people fancy that they are filled with love. This is just attachment. Spiritual love is boundless. It is capable of expressing itself in universal terms.”
– Sanathana Sarathi 1/98,8
