00:00What is love? That which quenches the mind's thirst is love.
00:05The mind is always in a state of attraction.
00:07It is attracted to something that would bring peace to it.
00:12So what then is love?
00:13Something that would really bring peace to you.
00:17That is love.
00:18Not hormonal activity.
00:19That cannot be love.
00:20But what we find is that men are necessarily attracted to women.
00:23Women are necessarily attracted to men.
00:25Obviously that has to be hormonal.
00:27Even if men are attracted to men, that's for sexual reasons.
00:30So even that is hormonal.
00:31That is not love.
00:32That is just the jungle.
00:34That's just the old natural prakritic game of reproduction playing itself out.
00:40Love has to be earned.
00:42And that's what all spiritual pursuit is about.
00:44Learning love.
