We can speak about two kinds of love – love with an object and love without an object. Object-based love involves another person, a physical object, or any experience that is a source of pleasure. We say I love this or that, referring to the object of love.
In contrast, love without an object is an experience that is unrelated to any object. It is somewhat like the perfume that emanates from the flower. However, in this case the flower is our natural self. This love is innate, built-in, to our innermost self. It is self-arising, ever-present, abundant, and unbiased.
Discover through words and practice the important distinctions between these two types of love, and how you can enrich your experience of love and care through this understanding.
