' Love does not cling '...

Freedom from all desire is eternity.

All attachment implies
fear, for all things are transient.

And fear makes one a slave.

This freedom from attachment does not come with practice;
it is natural, when one knows one's true being.

Love does not
cling; clinging is not love.
