St. Porphyrios: "If you love and you don't seek the love of others, all will come close to you..."

St. Porphyrios of Kavsokalyvia (source)

  
"The phrase, 'I love you', is a humble thing to say. It is not simply said though. It is gained silently with the personality that you fashion. You fashion it, and the other may be mad at you. You are working and look as to ultimately hide it. But the other senses it and is attracted by it. If you love and you don't seek the love of others, all will come close to you. It is a mystery. Mystically you will love and they will understand it, and even while far away, they will send you their good feelings. Do you understand this? ... It is natural what I am telling you: to love selflessly!"
-St. Porphyrios of Kavsokalyvia
