> Black eyes say: “Love me or I kill thee.”
> — Spanish proverbRed-angered eyes say: “Whether thou lovest me or not, I have come to kill thee.” But soul-illumined eyes say: “I see God in thee and love thee whether thou killest me or not.”
No doubt, life precedes love. But if love does not follow life faithfully, life is no better than death.
Love in the process of its manifestation is conscious truth enjoying itself.
If you ever dare to fight against hatred, then there is but one weapon: Love.
When I love a man, I live within his ever-blossoming heart. When I hate a man, he lives within my ever-torturing vital.
Love has a power of its own. It can be used to see and feel both the lowest and the highest.
The noblest love of man constitutes his purest vision of God.
Love is always expensive, whether heavenly or earthly.
Like death, man’s love is capable of levelling all ranks.
To have no love for others is in no way a step towards God-Realisation. On the contrary, fellow-feeling helps one considerably to live in the Divine Consciousness.
Vital love lacking in purity is not only a stumbling-block but a dangerous limitation of consciousness that prevents our nature from turning towards the Divine fully and unreservedly.
Marriage is at the mercy of love. At times love allows itself to be caught by marriage; at times it does not.
Ascending love makes friends with the Everlasting. Descending love makes friends with the fleeting breath of death.

'Tis better to have loved and lost,Than never to have loved at all.
— Tennyson
``` But can true love ever be lost? True love enlarges the giver and brings him closer to God, even if he loses the object of his love.From:Sri Chinmoy,Eternity’s Breath, Sri Chinmoy Lighthouse, New York, 1972
