This is the real condition on the path of love: that one gives out love and asks no return. So long as one expects love from another creature, of whatever degree, that is reflected love. It is only in God and from God that giving and receiving are one and the same. Heart feeds heart and nothing else feeds heart. Heart can feed heart of self, and it can feed mind of self, and body of self. Heart can also feed the heart of another, mind of another, and body of another. All healing, all help, all love come from heart, which is to say, they come from God, Who is hidden in the heart of each and every person.
