Accepting and caring for oneself, treating oneself with kindness.
The end of division between the one who loves and the one who is to be loved.
In common language, self-love is a goal—something to be learned, cultivated, or repaired.
But structurally, self-love is not an action—it is the absence of separation.
It is not a practice, but a dissolving.
When the image of self drops away,
what remains is not affection—
it is undirected wholeness.
No one remains to love.
No one remains to be loved.
Only the field of Being remains—
undisturbed, unmeasured, unneeded.
