The source of love is deep in us and we can help others realize a lot of happiness. One word, one action, one thought can reduce another person’s suffering and bring that person joy.
When we are mindful, deeply in touch with the present moment, our understanding of what is going on deepens, and we begin to be filled with acceptance, joy, peace and love.
You must love in such a way that the person you love feels free.
When you love someone, the best thing you can offer is your presence. How can you love if you are not there?
