True love should improve everything in the being that you love

People generally miss the point when it comes to the issue of chastity, of continence. How? In that in reality the act of love is not in itself good or bad. It is simply what men and women will make it. If they have not worked on themselves to purify, ennoble and enlighten themselves, they will, in this act, pass on to their partner illnesses, vices and harmful influences. True love should improve everything in the being that you love, it should elevate them, strengthen them and enlighten them. Whether they then express themselves physically is secondary. You can love someone without ever touching them and still poison them with this love.

There is only one criterion by which to measure the quality of your love and that is if the person you love is blossoming thanks to your love. If they are blossoming, you can be happy and thank Heaven for having been able to help them and protect them.

-Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov
