"

To share our independence, to me, is synonym with __aturity_. Maturity means the combination of courage__o do something__nd consideration__o stop doing that when it__ required. Kind of like the gas and brake in a vehicle.__o depend on Love isn__ the same as to depend on a single person to feel that connection towards Love. The more Love that flows through any given relationship, the more love that can flow towards other relationships, in contrast, a lack of Love in a relationship calls us to look out for anything else that could make us feel connected, feel accepted.__ost people aren__ ready for the kind of commitment and dedication required to __erge_ in someone else while retaining their individuality, and after a very short time, they feel suffocated and abandon such relationship.__n order to identify when we are receiving this energy from a particular__imited__ndividual, or when it is coming from Source, the Love that flows from Source is unlimited and increases constantly, whilst the other one needs constant recharge to continue to function. It__ as clear as the difference between sunlight and a torchlight.

It is also good to love: because love is difficult. For one human being to love another human being: that is perhaps the most difficult task that has been entrusted to us, the ultimate task, the final test and proof, the work for which all other work is merely preparation.... Loving does not at first mean merging, surrendering, and uniting with another person (for what would a union be of two people who are unclarified, unfinished, and still incoherent?), it is a high inducement for the individual to ripen, to become something in himself, to become world, to become world in himself for the sake of another person; it is a great, demanding claim on him, something that chooses him and calls him to vast distances... Merging and surrendering and every kind of communion is not for them (who must still, for a long, long time, save and gather themselves); it is the ultimate, is perhaps that for which human lives are as yet barely large enough.
