Desire habitually promotes self-seeking. The desire which drives romantic pursuit is no exception to this – apart that is, from the fact that something else occurs. When we are drawn to the person we desire for ourselves – we communicate our desire to the one we desire. In so doing – we are unsuspectingly drawn into spiritual practice. The practice, into which we are enticed, is that of wisdom and compassion. We begin to display unusual open-mindedness and uncharacteristic kindness – but what is more extraordinary, is that we feel inexplicably unthreatened in so doing.p146, Entering the Heart of the Sun and Moon Ngakpa Chögyam and Khandro Déchen, Aro Books, 2009, ISBN 978-0-9653948-3-3
