I believe love is a deep feeling for someone, it is an action word to demonstrate, and it is commitment to the well being of someone else.

By not resisting or controlling our thoughts, emotions, and other experiences, we can cultivate a deeper sense of peace and acceptance. 🌟 The continuous presence of awareness is emphasized as the unchanging background of all experiences. Recognizing this ever-present awareness allows us to connect with our essential self and find peace and happiness. 🎯 Enlightenment is not a future goal or an extraordinary experience. It is simply the recognition of our true nature as awareness or consciousness. This recognition involves seeing clearly what we essentially are, before any thoughts, feelings, or activities are added to our sense of self. 💡 The name “I” is considered sacred in this tradition, representing our essential self-aware being. By sounding the name “I” and allowing it to take us to its referent, we can deepen our understanding and connection with our true nature. Thanks to notegpt.

That may be so, but what is Love? What is it that gives life? Is it I am? Or is it the expression of Love? What's the point of self aggrandisement other than to realise Love?
