Personal love as a state is temporal and is not true since behind such a love hides the separate self with all its conditions, demands, judgements and expectations.
Love is eternal, all embracing, unconditional and unwavering. It is our true nature.
States are coloring of mind and represent Shiva’s dance.
When we confuse any state to represent the absolute, we are confusing the wave for the ocean.
