प्रेम सीखना पड़ता है लेकिन कोई सीखा नहीं सकता

[[Avadhuta Gita 1.1–1.5 — Choice Is What Matters; Choice Requires Deep Love; Everything Else Is Noise]].

Love, in this context, is not sentiment. It is not preference. It is not attachment.

It is a movement that cannot be justified.

Rationality operates within the framework of self-interest. It evaluates outcomes. It seeks advantage. It preserves identity.

Love does none of these.

Love is the willingness to act without securing the self.

This is why it appears irrational, even mad. It does not follow from premises. It does not aim at results.

Yet, it is the only movement capable of breaking the cycle of self-preservation.

Without this “madness,” nothing fundamental changes. One may understand, analyze, and discuss—but the center remains intact.
