58 Pure Love let it affect me. I lose my energies and the other person’s work does not get done. And if I do not let it affect me, then the strength of the Self, energies increase and the other person’s work is done. This science is love itself. There is no anger, pride, attachment and greed in love. If any of these exist then it is not love. Pure Love Is Above Virtuous Love Questioner: Everyone in the world is searching for pure love but in vain. Dadashri: This is the path of pure love. This science of ours is void of desires of any kind. This is the path of pure love. Such a path cannot be found in this era of this time cycle and it is indeed a wonder that it has arisen. Questioner: Can you explain the difference between pure love and virtuous love? Dadashri: There is ego involved in virtuous love, whereas in pure love, there is no ego. In virtuous love there is no greed or deceit, but there is pride in it. In virtuous love, one has a sense of being: ‘I am’. And in pure love, one feels oneness with everyone, because there is no ego. Questioner: But is it true that in any activity, good or bad, there is no element of ego. Is it logical? Dadashri: No. That cannot be. That is wrong, because no activity can be carried out without the ego. Even virtuous activities require the ego. Questioner: Even for pure love ego is necessary. So how can one do so without the ego? Can the ego and pure love co-exist?
