Don’t give love a name

Apr 4 2009 Reykjavík, Iceland
Let love be. Don’t give love a name. When you give love a name, it becomes a relationship, and relationships restrict love. There is love between you and me. Just let it be. If you name love as brother, sister, mother, father or Guru, you are making it a relationship. Relationships restrict love. What is your relationship to yourself? Are you your wife, brother, husband or Guru?
Let love be. Don’t give it a name.
