Q. Is it necessary for spiritual seekers to give up worldly love?

You need to drop the worldliness, not the love! What we normally know as 'worldly love' is love tainted with attachment, possessiveness, jealousy and selfishness. Bring intelligence and compassion into your love. Cleanse it of the impurities of ignorance and expectation. What remains is true love. With love like this, you can transform even your 'worldly' relationships into sacred spiritual exercises.
