Dr. Adizes says, “Love without depending”; Michael Singer says, “Clinging (and resistance) brings suffering”. Expectations, demand and rightfulness are the spores of what seems like love but is parasitism.
Sri Sri says:
Love comes with this tail called problems.
If you love objects more, then that becomes greed.
If you love people more, it is entanglement.
If you love yourself too much, that is arrogance.
If you love someone too much, then jealousy comes behind that.
Can ocean give to the hydrological cycle without rivers flowing into it? How to build a reservoir of love without end? Who will feed it or can it be self-generating?
So how does one practise free flowing, non denominational love? Love that touches all subjects and objects equally and yet remains like oil on water. Is it heartful love? How to be love that is ubiquitous, non demanding and transcendental?
Is immersion in work an answer or only a diversion? Anything forced, does not work on others (for long). Then how do we expect the supreme knowledge, the supreme intelligence that is the Self to be hoodwinked.
One can never be un-aware. Giving, service and a dispassionate linking of the means to the end, without losing touch with our consciousness, can rein in the materialistic monkey mind. All such action (and inaction) is love – it lowers the energies of rajas and tamas, allowing for sattva to overwhelm.
Be the love!

Love with condition is not love… so find the love that tree or river has for self and others. Giving yet keeping its own self
