Echoing Place

Love should not be demanding. Otherwise it loses its wings. It becomes rooted to the ground. Then it becomes lust. Lust brings misery and suffering. In other words love should not be conditional, you should not expect anything out of it. It is for its own sake, not for any reward or result. If there is some motive in it, then love cannot fly. The motive becomes the boundary.

Unmotivated love has no boundaries. It is pure elation, a fragrance of the heart.

Just because there is no desire for results, that does not mean results do not happen. In fact, it happens a thousandfold. Because whatever we give the world it comes back. If we throw anger, anger comes back. Whatever you sow, you reap. Hate and you will be hated. Love, and you will be loved.
