Love is divine. If anything is divine on the earth, it is love -- and love also makes everything else divine. Love is the true alchemy of life, because it transforms base metal into gold.
There are ancient stories, many stories in almost all the languages of the world, that somebody kisses a frog and the frog becomes a prince. The frog had been cursed; he was simply waiting for some kiss to be showered on him. He was waiting for love to come and transform him.
Love transforms -- that is the message of all those stories. The stories are beautiful, very indicative, symbolic. It is only love that transforms the animal into the human; otherwise there is no difference between humans and other animals. The only difference, the possible difference, is love. And the more you live through love, as love, the more humanity is born in you. The ultimate, the omega point, is when one has become love. Then not only is the animal transcended, even the human is transcended. Then one is divine, one is God. The whole of human growth is love's growth. Without love we are animals. With love we are human. And when love has become your natural being, your very flavor, you are God.

Is this love we seek but the love we give?

Hmmm....I always thought it was the mind and being able to think that separated us from the animals. Although we are animals in our own right. ;-) Interesting question that you end with.
