There are two kinds of love:

• Horizontal Love

• Vertical Love

Horizontal love is like a horizontal line, flat. It is related to time: it starts and ends. Anything that starts must end. If it takes more time to end, don't think it is permanent. Anything that starts must end. It may take a few years or a few months, but it ends. It is impermanent and time bound. This is horizontal love.

Vertical love is related to
consciousness. Vertical love
neither starts nor ends. It does not
discriminate. It is our very quality.
It flows.
