Premanand Maharaj Ji
How can I tell whether my love is real or just desire?
Real love is free of desire and lasts for life
True love is without desire, and what we call love usually comes with desire. Love once given is kept for life, without checking what the other person is like.
Love is when you love someone once and keep it up for life. You do not look at what they are like. Having loved once, you stay faithful all your life.
