Q. How is ordinary love different from divine love? Are they both expressions of the same quest?

I could say there are only two kinds of love – ‘divide’ love and divine love!

Ordinary love divides; divine love unites. Ordinary love perceives boundaries; divine love recognizes no boundaries. But yes, they are expressions of the same quest. These two kinds of love do not differ in kind, but only in degree. As ordinary love moves from the intellect towards the being, it approaches the quality of divine love.
