I would say this about Love: don't worry about it. If you feel it, great; if you don't, that's fine too. Don't try to force it because you want to think of yourself as loving; you're just going to create an artificial version and get lost in ego. Aim for truth. When the truth of what you are is realized, love and compassion tend to spring forth. But let it be a consequence rather than making it a target. And if it doesn't happen for some reason, well, who cares? You cannot control your tastes, you cannot control who you like and who annoys you, and you cannot control how loving you are. Trying to mold yourself into what you think you ought to be always leads to trouble. The person chasing material wealth / worldly success, and the person trying to present as loving and charitable because that is how a good person is are both making essentially the same mistake. Set your compass on truth and trust that good things will follow; this way they will be genuine as opposed to artificial knock offs. 'Every man does what he believes to be the good; the problem is that he is ignorant of what the good truly is' ~Socrates
Love it. We got freedom of choice but the limits are set by a force beyond our control. Tring to control that which is not in our control is what's causing suffering. I can see how letting go of that control and surrendering to the reality can bring peace. That's also the core message of gita. Thank you 🙃

Thank you 🙃
It’s the biggest key to inner peace spiritual or not I think 🙂
Yes seeing it’s an illusion looks like the key thank you so much.
And I agree why to so many neo advaita teachers make all this weird.
Speak normal! 😂
And if you feel you have free will, freely choose to become better, simple 🙂
Don’t speak like a weirdo 😂😂
There’s no other way to say it, even coming from a monk lol
