What is Love?

Love is not attachment: all the great masters said it, from Jesus to the Old Sages of India: you should love expecting nothing in return. When we have expectations about something, for example, when we love seeking love in return, we do not truly love. This is just desire, and desire is the root of misery. When you hope for nothing, then nothing can make you suffer. It is only natural to seek things for ourselves: we love to be loved, we work to live comfortably. But true liberation urges us to work against our impulses. Be selfless; give yourself to others without expecting anything in return and you will be set free.
