You can not [completely] fall in love unless and until you enter into the realm of self-forgetfulness. Because self-consciousness renders you in a selfish state and is therefore antagonistic to [true] love. A complete love is, therefore, a meditative state and a person completely in love can no longer report the reality objectively. Person not in love does not know how love is for obvious reason. So basically there is no way to know whether true love is real or a myth. पिउँनेहरु ब्युँतेकै छैनन् कोसित सोधुँ स्वाद मायाको ? =================== Nepejyu, isn't your definition too abstract to be real? i mean i am not a spiritual person, not all of us are for that matter. so aren't we able to feel true love? let's analyze this from pragmatic point of view. if true love is like achieving "buddatwa", then it's not for me :P LooTe
