S There is no sense that the loved one is different than the self and within this purity, love and compassion flow freely..there is only flow.. * Do you feel as attached > to them as before or do you now have a different love for them that is > more detached? S It is a pure love that is not preoccupied with the other as there is no sense of otherness... *I am trying to understand how now you are feeling one > with the everyone and everything in the world, how you could chose one > person over another to spend your life wit Would you not love all > people the same? S The difference is that there is no-one that is loving or *me* that is loving *something* or *some-body*...pure love is inherent in the universe and flows like a river when the mind is still. It is love that needs no object as this love just IS - Love and Compassion are the fragrance of freedom. > > *I am not even sure my question makes sense, but hopefully someone will > get the gist of it.
