This concept of love is being exploited by the commercial world Buy,

Buy,

Buy,

Please buy it But when you love,

To express your love through the things you buy So the mind is attached to a form to express love And this form brings a sense of love But actually it's not love It is just a sense of pleasure arising from this form of buying Which is still a thought process The form covers what is really going on beneath it So this commercial world is so utterly superficial It stimulates you to buy things for somebody else as a form of love And you take that form as love And everybody is deceiving themselves So what is love?

To love is to care When the mind is full of me,

The mind has no space to care Where there is the self,

The love is not A mind that is capable of loving is a mind that has vast space But look around this world,

The mind is occupied by me There is no space at all for love When the mind is full of me,

The mind creates this self-oscillation Which only further distances each other When people are living in abstractions,

Ideas,

Thoughts All those things keep the mind occupied And this makes a challenge to physically contact people Because this physical connection is not in thoughts,

In ideas But when the mind is living in oscillation created by the self,

By the me,

By those illusions We can't meet each other,

Let alone love
