Real love is a mind that wants others to be happy — full stop. It values them, respects them, and just wants them to be happy. No conditions.

Relationships
Gen Devi follows what happens once the fantasy fades — the honeymoon ends, we feel the person has changed, and we blame them for no longer matching our projection. She shows the way out: removing attachment rather than abandoning the people we love, taking responsibility for our own mind, and switching our focus from ourselves to others as the true source of lasting happiness.
