Love is when you start seeing the deep desire beneath all your superficial desires. Love is when you start seeing what you are really really thirsty for. Superficially, the desires of different people are different. Deeply, we all share one desire.
So, what is it that happens in love? In love, two things are happening simultaneously. One, you have come in contact with your deep self that wants union with the Beloved. Secondly, you have seen that this is what we all want. There is nobody who does not deeply want the same thing as I do. Superficially, he wants black and he wants white. Deeply, both of them want only satisfaction.
