Sadhu Vaswani Quotes

Love is sacrifice.

Love seeks one thing only: the good of the one loved. It leaves all the other secondary effects to take care of themselves. Love, therefore, is its own reward.

Love is not a feeling of happiness. Love is a willingness to sacrifice.

However it is debased or misinterpreted, love is a redemptive feature. To focus on one individual so that their desires become superior to yours is a very cleansing experience.

If my love is without sacrifice, it is selfish. Such a love is barter, for there is exchange of love and devotion in return for something. It is conditional love.

Love is, above all, the gift of oneself.

Love consists in giving without getting in return; in giving what is not owed, what is not due the other. That's why true love is never based, as associations for utility or pleasure are, on a fair exchange.

The Dalai Lama said that he thinks mother's love is the best symbol for love and compassion, because it is totally disinterested.

Love wasn't put in your heart to stay. Love isn't love until you give it away.

The degree of loving is measured by the degree of giving.

Love is taking a few steps backward, maybe even more…to give way to the happiness of the person you love.
