The difference between interested love and selfless love
Following on from the previous volume, Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov focuses here on the two kinds of love that exist: interested and disinterested. When we say “I love” do we ask questions about the nature of this love? The author explains to us that selfless love does not expect anything from others, it does not worry, it does not cling to them and does not disturb them. Whereas interested love, on the contrary, acts on beings like a constraint: it only seeks to take and it brings with it impatience, disappointment, anger, jealousy and anguish. While disinterested love is a new life that makes its way and makes beings more and more free, strong and happy.
