One should think in terms of whether one is loving or not. The question of the object of love does not arise.

Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand. Anyone may gather it and no limit is set. Everyone can reach this love through meditation, spirit of prayer, and sacrifice, by an intense inner life.

If you can love someone with your whole heart, even one person, then there's salvation in life. Even if you can't get together with that person.

By all means they try to hold me secure who love me in this world. But it is otherwise with thy love which is greater than theirs, and thout keepst me free.
