Love (Skt. प्रेम, Prema) is a profound feeling of affection, connection, and care.

On the path of knowledge, love is understood as:

• The recognition of oneness with another

• A natural expression of nondual understanding

• Beyond the emotion of attachment

• The same as compassion

True love is not a transaction or an attachment but the recognition that the other is not separate from oneself.

See also compassion, unconditional love.
