Love grows by practice; there is no other way. Whenever you forgo something you want to do in order to give your time and help to those around you, you are increasing your capacity to love. . . . St. Teresa of Avila says beautifully: love draws out love. By putting the people around you first, you are loving more, not only them but the Lord himself, in whom they and you are one.
— Eknath Easwaran, The Bhagavad Gita for Daily Living, Volume 2
