Difference between love and infatuation

So what then is love?
This term is overused in society. Let's say a person has abstract sensitivity, and we can feel something that causes us to have a certain state, a state of exaltation that people call love. Are you getting closer? Then let's try to explore in what situations people experience such states of exaltation or unusual states.

I know of three scenarios in which a Person can feel something like this:
1) Interaction between a man and a woman.
2) Sincere interaction between friends.
3) It happens just like that, it just happens to a Person for no apparent reason.

What does this have in common? At first glance, nothing. But it is not so. If for the first two there is some kind of interaction, then with the third point everything is more complicated. But I have an answer. And this is a fairly natural answer. In each of these cases, the Person who began to feel Love opened up. A Man or Woman, letting another Person into their life, opens up to him. It’s as if nature intended it this way. The same thing happens in friendships. And such discoveries happen to every Person in our world, they are spontaneous, they happen several times in life, someone notices and develops them, someone brushes them aside and continues to suffer. So there is a certain opening to each other, and at the same time there is an opening of oneself to Life. And if this discovery occurs for each Person separately, in different situations, then it is available to everyone. And at the moment of this discovery, Man begins to feel love.

If this happens in a relationship between a Man and a Woman, it is called falling in love with another person, or they simply say that this person has fallen in love, and this is visible to the naked eye. This is an extremely pleasant feeling, because of which many people “lose their heads.”
If this happens in a friendly atmosphere, then it is simple, like such a pleasant feeling of elevation that has no specific name. And from here, unconventional relationships may well emerge, since people do not understand what is really happening.
If this happens just like that, then it is called falling in love with life. You've probably heard stories of people simply starting to cry from the beauty of this world or simply describing everything in enthusiastic terms for no apparent reason, no matter where they are or what is happening around them. With everyone he talked to, he described that he had such moments in his life.

But, as soon as we want to make our partner, with whom we fell in love, different, change him, make him convenient for us, and he does the same - this state of falling in love passes. Why? Because each of the participants closes off from the other due to these actions, and this state ends. The same thing happens in friendships, when one tries to change the other, or the partner’s changes are not accepted - closure also occurs and this state is lost. And if when we began to feel this state just like that, and we try to change the world without accepting it as it is, or stop noticing other parts of this world, we also close ourselves and lose this state.

So it turns out that Love is a feeling received from Life itself (God, the Absolute, the Universe, the Source, or another word that suits you). And falling in love is just a word that describes the moment that occurs in the relationship between a Woman and a Man, during which the participants begin to feel Love. That is, loving and friendly relationships acted as a catalyst for the feeling of Love. Okay, what then is the catalyst in the third case?

To do this, let's look at something else. There is one more scenario that I was silent about at the very beginning, since it is not publicly observable. I watched him during training. It would simply be too incorrect to say that love comes from training - it would not be true. But what's going on? When a Man trains his attention, he begins to use his attention. The more we use attention, the easier it is to do this. And the longer we use attention, the brighter the effects associated with it begin to be. And according to my observations, at the moment when we use our attention, and for this we understand every second where it is right now, we begin to feel the same state of falling in love, this feeling of love, which has no object of attachment. It's like when I live fully, using my attention, I open up, and at this time I begin to feel love. Like a reward from Life if I do something right.

This means I can conclude that love is personal for each Person. It's like feeling infinity. This is your personal infinity. And as soon as we attach our love to some person, and not to ourselves, we make a huge mistake. We begin to depend on this person, we want to make him ours and comfortable. This is how love is lost. Instead of just feeling it, let the other person act as a catalyst.
