On love

When mystics use the word love, they use it very carefully - in the deeply spiritual sense-To love is to know; to love is to act. If you really love, from the depths of your Consciousness, that love gives you a native wisdom. You perceive the needs of others intuitively and clearly, with detachment from any personal desires; and you know how to act creatively to meet those needs, skillfully  surmounting any obstacle that comes in the way. Such is the immense, driving power of love.
