Eknath Easwaran's Commentary
Every one of us can learn to love without qualifications or reservations. Naturally, we start with imperfections. But there is no need to throw up our hands as so many are doing today and say, “Let us be separate and have a relationship. Here are my duties, here are yours. This is the boundary line. If you stay on your side, I’ll respect you; but if you cross over, you’re an invader.” Wherever people go their separate ways like this, love cannot grow. It is not possible to have both separateness and intimacy.
