“Real love is selfless and free from fear. It pours itself out upon the object of its affection, without demanding any return. Its joy is in the joy of giving. Love is God in manifestation, and the strongest magnetic force in the universe. Pure, unselfish love draws to itself its own; it does not need to seek or demand. Scarcely anyone has the faintest conception of real love. Man is selfish, tyrannical or fearful in his affections, thereby losing the thing he loves. Jealousy is the worst enemy of love, for the imagination runs riot, seeing the loved one attracted to another, and invariably these fears objectify if they are not neutralized.”

“To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear.
But to be fully known – and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God.”
– timothy keller
“The individual who has achieved a deep connection with their inner self becomes an enigma to others; such a person’s profound depth is incomprehensible to most. This person embodies honesty, radiates love, inspires confidence, promotes kindness, and reflects the divine truth. For them, every action becomes a form of deep contemplation or meditation-whether walking down the street, engaging in a craft, or conducting business, they are in a constant state of reflection. Their gaze upon the world, whether directed at the skies above or the earth below, is filled with reverence for the sacred, seeing the divine in every direction and in everything, unconfined by form or doctrine.
This person may hold immense knowledge but often remains silent, recognizing that sharing their profound inner experiences could cause confusion for others not on the same spiritual path. They understand that the inner life is deeply personal and not always translatable to the external world.”

“The woman can be satisfied with one love, utterly fulfilled, because she does not look at the body of the man, she looks at his innermost qualities. She does not fall in love with a man who has a beautiful muscular body, she falls in love with a man who has charisma – something indefinable, but immensely attractive – who has a mystery to be explored. She wants her man not to be just a man, but an adventure in discovering consciousness.”
