Profound desire, true desire is the desire to be close to someone. From that point onwards, things change, the man and the woman come into play, but what happens before - the attraction that brought them together - is impossible to explain. It is untouched desire in its purest state.
When desire is still in the pure state, the man and the woman fall in love with life, they live each moment reverently, consciously, always ready to celebrate the next blessing.
When people feel like this, they are not in a hurry, they do not precipitate events with unthinking actions. They know that the inevitable will happen, that what is real always finds a way of revealing itself. When the moment comes, they do not hesitate, they do not miss an opportunity, they do not let slip a single magic moment, because they respect the importance of each second.
----------------------
Freedom only exists when love is present. The person who gives hom or herself wholly, the person who feels freest, is the person who loves wholeheartedly.
And the person who loves wholeheartedly feels free.
In love no one can harm anyone else; we are each of us responsible for our own feelings and cannot blame someone else for what we feel.
No one loses anyone because no one owns anyone.
That is the true experience of freedom: having the most important thing in the world without owning it.
----------------------
A writer once said that it is not time that changes a man, nor knowledge; the only thing that can change someone's mind is love. What nonsense! The person who wrote that clearly knew only one side of the coin.
----------------------
Love was undoubtedly one of the things capable of changing a person's whole life, from one moment to the next.
But there was the other side of the coin, the second thing that could make a human being take a totally different course from the one he or she had planned; and that was called despair.
Yes, perhaps love really could transform someone, but despair did the job more quickly.
----------------------
When we meet someone and fall in love, we have a sense that the whole universe is on our side. And yet if something goes wrong, there is nothing left! How is it possible for the beauty that was there only minutes before to vanish so quickly? Life moves very fast. It rushes from heaven to hell in a matter of seconds.
----------------------
Everyone knows how to love, because we are all born with that gift. Some people have a natural talent for it, but the majority of us have to re-learn, to remember how to love, and everyone, without exception, needs to burn on the bonfire of past emotions, to relive certain joys and griefs, certain ups and downs until they can see the connecting thread that exists behind each new encounter; because there is a connecting thread.
