Hi Bryan,
"
True love is the love with no opposite - selfless, unselfish, total unconditional compassion with no ego in the way - same for Nibbana."
"with no ego in the way": Love is a concept, or may be an emotion, that has the "ego". A loves B, C, D, ....whole world." Still the A is there. For a 'Nibbanic mind", there is no world to love. It is not possible to use any human concept to describe Nibbaana. This is what MN 1 is about. The bhikkhus to whom it was preached did not accept it delightfully (Really did not understand it). The only sutta in the Nikaayas, to my knowledge, where that happened.
Mettaa,
DC(D. G. D. C. Wijeratna)
