How to love someone who I do not understand?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

As a baby is born, it looks into its mother’s eyes, and starts loving the mother. The baby does not know anything about the mother. It does not know the name of the mother, or the school she went to, what subjects she studied, or how old she is. The baby does not even care, it does not even know.
In the same way, the puppy or the dog in your house does not know you. If the dog knew you, perhaps it would not love you! (Laughter)
So, you don’t need to know someone to love them.
