Jiddu Krishnamurti on Love

Love as a spiritual concern
Love is one of the most basics spiritual concerns people have. Krishnamurti stressed how most of our concern with love is really concern about emotional security. We want to get love, consistently. We are not usually concerned about giving love. The very search for security kills real, spontaneous compassion.
As on many topics, Krishnamurti's discussions on love centre around questions:
Can love be divided into the sacred and the profane, the human and the divine, or is there only love? Is love of the one and not of the many? If I say,`I love you', does that exclude the love of the other? Is love personal or impersonal? Moral or immoral? Family or non-family? If you love mankind can you love the particular? Is love sentiment? Is love emotion? Is love pleasure and desire?He stressed that to really find out what love is about, we have to let go of the words other people have taught us about love. We have to look afresh and find out for ourselves. The flame of love is something that can't be experienced through words, concepts or clichés.
