Love (Good – Feeling) 

71.              The flood of love cannot be stopped by a dam; when love arises, the tears of joy swelling forth from the eyes will betray the love kept hidden within.

72.              The person without love in his heart holds everything in the world as his own; but the person with love will deem even his body as made for the benefit of others and find delight therein.

73.              The man who lives with love for all, gets the full fruit of the union of the soul and body, even in this world.

74.              Love begets the culture of living in concord with all; it alone nourishes friendly feelings towards all beings.

75.              He who lives with love in his heart of all, will get happiness and fame in this world; he will alone attain the celestial regions this life.

76.              Unknowing persons will say that love is the way for virtue only.  In truth, love helps greatly in holding up and checking unvirtuous acts as well.

77.              Sunshine will scorch wormlike creatures having no-bone; likewise, the god of virtue will harass beings without love.

78.              If a dead tree sprouts in the desert, of what use would it be?  Likewise, life led without love in the heart is entirely useless.

79.              The inner part of the body is love; without it all the external limbs – hands, feet and the like – are of no worth.

80.              That alone deserves the name of “a living body” which has love in its core; the body without love is simply a dead skeleton covered over with skin.
