The Ever-Expanding Heart
Love that requires no condition, no reflection, no return; this is the highest state of consciousness. Universal Love is not sentimental or selective. It does not operate within the confines of personality, preference, or perception. It sees through every distinction and recognizes only itself.
This is love as total awareness. It loves because there is nothing else to do. It gives without the idea of giving. It embraces without needing to hold. It penetrates every boundary of selfhood and dissolves all opposites into a seamless field of being. Even the idea of “others” fades when this love awakens, for the one who loves and the one who is loved are found to be the same.
Such love is not weak; it is fearless. It does not protect itself because it knows it cannot be harmed. It sacrifices willingly because it understands there is no loss in unity. Every act, every gesture, every breath becomes an expression of this boundless compassion that celebrates existence as itself.
Universal Love is not attained through effort. It is remembered through surrender. The heart expands until it no longer has edges. What remains is a radiant stillness that loves without reason, without measure, and without end.
