Introduction.
Word: 'Totality' in this context does not imply dictatorship & tyranny of a couple, does not imply world's conquest, enslavement & domination by a pair.
Totality of Love implies that everyone is interconnected, part of largel whole, part of Total Experience where happiness of couples radiates outwards inspiring others who also share happiness.
Striving for Totality.
'Love is when one thinks more of giving than receiving. It is the deep wish to become happy with someone and includes the ongoing mindset of wanting to benefit them. One is fundamentally positive and open to what is new, and thus every moment becomes rich & joyful. In the face of love, everything seems possible, beyond all limitations.
Usually love is experienced as very personal and one-of-a-kind. Though most people who are falling in love while looking at wonderful face believe it to be unique experience, if one takes a closer look at the feeling of being in love and the kinds of behaviors it brings forth, it becomes clear that basically similar steps and aspects are at work. When opening up to someone, one experiences a deep bond with the partner and will enjoy resulting good mood, which radiates onto others and one's environment as well. Once struck by love, one realizes what was always true - that happiness is greater when shared. All things are parts of totality. Everything is interconnected and happiness in conjunction with others, and living this is blissfull. Thus circles of happy people extend from loving couples. Whether they are friends or parents who bask in the relationship, or neighbors who think the couple are a nice fit, all experience the benefit and may open up more readily in their own lives.
If a rich and connecting love grows, and especially if the couples' sharing includes abstract levels beyond sentimentality, strong experiences will increasingly be seen as beyond-personal. This view breaks the tendency to waste precious time, that could be used for inner growth, with expectations and daydreams, or to become dependent on passing experiences. If one is willing to see life as a path of development, it becomes natural to share one's good days, and what one learned from any bad ones, with others. If one can additionally avoid especially disturbing emotions, a vast and conscious space will unfold between and around one's experiences.
-- Quoted from 'Buddha & Love' book by Lama Ole Nydahl, chapter five: 'The Secret of Great Love'.
