Love includes kindness.  Just like Truth includes truth.  

For a child, woman, animal, elderly people, of course love is kindness, help, sharing, caring. 

However, if the situation is the person who walks, talks or seems be walking in the path. They need to hear what they need to hear to lead the Truth.

Everything is for Truth, anything is for Truth.

I disagree.  I think Love includes love.  Just like Truth contains truth.

Of course it does. But, real love is not only love that you assume. That's just a piece of it.

There was a man who was enlightened, a Sufi master whom everyone respected deeply. Many people begged him to accept them as his students, but he refused them all. He had no disciples and showed no interest in teaching anyone.

One day, however, a man came who would not leave. Day after day, he stood at the master’s door, pleading to be accepted. When his requests were ignored, he slept outside the master’s house. He remained there for days, unmoving, unwavering. At last, the Sufi master opened the door and accepted him as a student.

On the very first day, the master said, “This is your duty: you will wear the dress of a seductive woman and walk through the entire town like this, all day long.”

The student was shocked and confused. He said, “Master, I thought we would pray, meditate, and practice dhikr.”

The master smiled and replied, “No. The path is not about prayer or meditation. The path is about destroying everything that makes you you.”
