Love is an endless mystery, for it has nothing else to explain it.
-Rabindranath Tagore
You love your family, but not your neighbor. You love your parents, but not others’ parents. You love your religion, but not all religions. You love your country, but not all countries. This is not true love, it is limited love. Transformation of limited love into divine love is the goal of spirituality.
-A Spiritual Leader "Mata Amritanandamayi"
And all people live, not by reason of any care they have for themselves, but by the love for them that is in other people.
-Leo Tolstoy
