Powerful words

Reading The Self-Aware Universe by Amit Goswami.
It's powerful and wonderful - I liken it to Wolf's way of saying things, of telling a story.
Resonation with what someone is saying is a strange and curious emotional/intellectual response, as this book also contains tidbits that will bring me to tears, almost instantaneously...
"Can you imagine loving someone from choice - not because there is the possiblitiy of ego-gratification, not because you are in love, not because you have reasons to love? This is love from the level of buddhi. We cannot will it. We can only surrender to it in a creative opening."
And,
"There is a Chinese fable about the similarity and difference between heaven and hell. Both heaven and hell are banquets with large, round tables that are laden with delicious food. In both places, the chopsticks are about five feet long. Now for the difference. In hell people try in vain to use the chopsticks to feed themselves. In heaven everyone simply feeds the person sitting across the table. If I feed another, will I be fed? Surrendering this ego-level uncertainty is the awakening of trust."
"Just as unconditional love demands trust from the lover, so it invites trust from the receiver."
