The world believes ‘asakti’ [infatuation, attraction of atoms] to be love and (then) become confused. Woman has some work from men and men has some work from women. All this has arisen because of work (expectations). If work does not get completed, all within will complain and form an attack. Not for even a second has anyone become one’s own. Only the Gnani Purush [the enlightened one] will become yours. That is why the Lord has said, ‘Every living being is an orphan’. . Dada Bhagwan
About This Quote

Every living being is an orphan, meaning in this context that there is no true love. If you think that because you are in love with someone, you are in love with them, you are mistaken. It is simply lust and infatuation that allows us to think that we are in love when in reality we are not. To be in love is to be able to care for someone else without expectation or attachment.

When we think of the word love, we think of romantic love. However, it is also possible to be in the Love of God. The only difference between romantic love and God’s Love is that God’s Love doesn’t depend on physical attraction or chemistry.

If you become attached to something or someone because of their physical appearance or sexual prowess, your chances of developing a long lasting relationship diminish considerably.
