Summary

This quote suggests that a mother's love is unconditional and doesn't need to be earned. A mother's love is given freely and unconditionally, regardless of one's actions or qualities. On the other hand, a father's love is seen as something that needs to be deserved or earned through one's behavior, achievements, or character. It implies that a father's love is conditional and based on certain expectations, making it something that must be actively worked for and maintained.

The universe seems to me infinitely strange and foreign. At such a moment I gaze upon it with a mixture of anguish and euphoria; separate from the universe, as though placed at a certain distance outside it; I look and I see pictures, creatures that move in a kind of timeless time and spaceless space, emitting sounds that are a kind of language I no longer understand or ever register.

There were a couple of occasions in India when I was twenty that felt to me like going out with a thimble in your hand, hoping to catch a drop of rain, and having the ocean land on your head. These experiences convinced me that there is an absolute love that pervades everything.
