Passion is the most formidable enemy of man. However he usually considers it as a virtue. You are admired when you live with passion. It is a mistake.

Passion is the greatest source of self-delusion. Passion leads people to sacrifice everything without discernment just for their passion.

At best it is a cause of blindness and suffering. At worst it is destructive for oneself and for the others. By passion you destroy yourself and you may even be ready to kill people.

To believe that you can love passionately is to be mistaken. True love is contradictory to passion. Passion arouses your desire to possess the other and makes your ego stronger.

Love commits you to gift, to surrender, to self-sacrifice, to the benefit of your consciousness. When passion is present in your life, it means that love is not, and vice versa.

Passion comes from desire which is the fruit of ignorance.
Love is the expression of your soul. It is the fruit of Knowledge.
