Lust Demands And Love Gives

Whenever we look at something, the first thing we do is to calculate what we can get from it. It can be a person or an object, that doesn"t matter. Our thoughts start functioning either through fear or through greed to calculate what there is in the situation for us. Our attention is centered on that object or person.

It is possible to turn our attention towards our own inner space and ask, 'What can I contribute?", 'What can I add?", 'How can I enrich others?" If the process is only to ask, 'What can I get out of it?" then it is driven by lust. If the process asks, 'How can I enrich it?" it is driven by love! Lust is an energy that demands. Love is an energy that gives.
