Body, Mind, Intellect Q&A Part 2

Eric answers big questions about love, attachments, empathy, and your capacity to apply Vedantic philosophy when emotions run hot.

Q: HOW CAN I FALL OUT OF LOVE?

A: If you think love is a feeling, then you must understand that feelings come and go.

If this is the case, then your mind can absolutely love someone today and not love them tomorrow.

However, if you use your intellect to assess someone properly, you can see the whole person. When you really see the entire person, all their assets, all their deficits, you can use logic and reason (a.k.a. your intellect) to understand if they are a quality person. Then apply your intellect to assess yourself and keep that feeling of love directed toward that person. Otherwise, your mind will bounce away from that person at any time.
