"When mystics use the word love, they use it very carefully -- in
the deeply spiritual sense, where to love is to know; to love is to act.
If you really love, from the depths of your Consciousness, that love
gives you a native wisdom. You perceive the needs of others intuitively
and clearly, with detachment from any personal desires; and you know how
to act creatively to meet those needs, dexterously surmounting any
obstacle that comes in the way. Such is the immense, driving power of
love." -- Eknath Easwaran
"Therefore, when I say that ‘I
love,’ it is not I who love, but in reality Love who acts through me.
Love is not so much something I do as something that I am. Love is not a
doing but a state of being - a relatedness, a connectedness to another
mortal, an identification with her or him that simply flows within me
and through me, independent of my intentions or my efforts." -- Robert A. Johnson
"When
you are aware that you are the force that is Life, anything is
possible. Miracles happen all the time, because those miracles are
performed by the heart. The heart is in direct communion with the human
soul, and when the heart speaks, even with the resistance of the head,
something inside you changes; your heart opens another heart, and true
love is possible." -- Don Miguel Ruiz
