strings: Our question surely is: Is it possible for the mind to be in that state, not momentarily, not at rare moments, but—I  would rather not use the words 'everlasting' or 'for ever', because that would imply time—but to be in that state without regard to time? Surely that is an important discovery to be made by each one of us, because that is the  door to love; all other doors are activities of the self. Where there is action of the self, there is no love. Love is not of time. You cannot practise love. If you do, then it is a self-conscious activity of the 'me' which hopes through loving to gain a result.
