The Ultimate Teaching - Unconditional Self-Love

“Accustomed long to contemplating love and compassion I have forgotten all difference between myself and others.” ~Milarepa

Unconditional love means love without expectation of how it shall return. It is not attached to any outcome as it respects the other’s journey into their love, whatever their soul has decided its path to that will be. We may think we know what is best for someone else and that we are somehow responsible for them and the outcome, but unconditional love surrenders to acceptance of what is without surrendering desire or for holding intention for that soul to unfold into their love.

Unconditional self love, as you will see, is “ultimate” because it requires mastering each and every practice precluding this teaching as it IS the practice of all previous teachings and beyond.
