Acharya Prashant explains that love and compassion are not activities or feelings that one can cultivate, plan, or send out to others. He clarifies that love is the radiation of one's own being, much like the radiation of the sun, and it is not something that can be forcibly developed. He suggests that getting tired of phony business and artificial attempts to feel love is a sign of sanity. Love is extremely subtle and should not be confused with attraction, repulsion, or emotions. If one is told that love is an emotion and they must feel it, they will search for something that does not exist and erroneously conclude that they lack love, leading to depression and unnecessary searching. He further states that it is possible to already be in a loving state without it being an emotion or a loud statement. Simple abidance in one's relaxed self and non-interference can be great exhibitions of love. Acharya Prashant points out that those who try to display love are often hiding internal violence, whereas a truly loving mind has no need for display because its every movement is love. He emphasizes that love is not an object of thought and cannot be conceptualized or felt as a sensation. Being unconscious of love is actually appropriate because love is not a thing to be thought about. Real love is a silent expression and an undisturbed state of relaxation where thoughts and emotions cannot unsettle the individual.
