Metta for All

metta

某人问‘做慈心观会不会不小心爱上观想的对象?’
若成如此,那慈心观就做错了。为何呢?
因慈心应偏十方而不偏一人;
否则即是私心而非无缘大慈,同体大悲。
慈心是无量心;非偏心!

Someone asked if it’s possible to fall in love with the subject while doing metta meditation? If it’s so, the metta meditation is done wrongly. How so? Because metta as a immeasurable state of mind is supposed to radiate to all beings and not just for one person. If not, it would be a biased state of mind and not unconditional metta for all, including those without affinity with at the moment.
