"Here is an instance of successful thinking. You love someone
only when you truly understand him. This means we must first
understand ourselves, which requires self-unity, with no self-
contradictions. Your own oneness naturally encloses the other,
effortlessly and without personal motive of self-gain. Love has
no fixed point; it flows unceasingly, covering everything along
the way, just as a stream encloses the boulders in its path. This
is not a sentimental idea; it is a fact." ~ Pathways to Perfect Living
