If you want to become an infinite source of love, then go on sharing love as much as you can. Don't be a miser; only misers lose energy.

Indifference looks like detachment, but it is not; indifference is simply no interest. Detachment is not absence of interest - detachment is absolute interest, tremendous interest, but still with the capacity of non-clinging.
