The first thing is that love can be known only by loving. It is not something that can be made comprehensible by intellectual discussion about it. Love is not a theory. If you make a theory out of it, it remains incomprehensible. That is the first Baul stand point: there are things which you can know only by doing them, by being them.
...But all that is real has to be lived, and all that is existential has to be penetrated, and the risk has to be taken. one has to be courageous, one has to be daring, because when you love somebody you start losing yourself. To love somebody is to lose the ego, to love somebody is to be lost, to love somebody is to give power to somebody over you, to love somebody is to be possessed. to love somebody means surrendering...Submission is the secret of knowledge.
