How can I love you, or you love me, if I am attached to you? My attachment is based on my pursuit of pleasure, which you give me, and on my image of you. I am attached to that image of you, and you are attached to the image of me. And the image is the past, the response of experience and knowledge. Is love the past? Is love experience? Is love memory? Is love the reaction to that memory as pleasure? So, one discovers, or the mind comes upon the fact, that where there is attachment of any kind, there is no love. This is not a statement, an idea, but an actual fact that the mind has discovered, which the mind, having an insight into attachment, sees the truth of. And seeing the truth of it, it is not occupied with the person, or with the furniture, or with the idea, and therefore it has its own energy. It is that quality of energy that is love. Therefore, love can never be hurt, love can never be jealous, never lonely; it can never ask to be loved.
