• The love to which ego is attached is a form of jealousy - this is why nobody is as jealous as lovers are. The love which is attached to the ego is a conspiracy and a trick to possess the other.

This situation is created because of the 'love' which comes from the ego - there can never be any relation between love and the ego.
