Unconditional love really exists in each of us. It is part of our deep inner being. It is not so much an active emotion as a state of being. It's not 'I love you' for this or that reason, not 'I love you if you love me.' It's love for no reason, love without an object.

At first you think that your sadhana Is a limited part of your life. In time you realize that Everything you do is part of your sadhana.

Until we know that we can bear the unbearable, we're always running scared.
