“Love is not selfish. Selfish love is not really love, but infatuation. Infatuation produces misery. One is all the time worrying about losing the person or object one is attached to. Love yields peace and harmony. Genuine love does not require anything from the beloved. On the contrary, it accepts them for who they are and works to help them become all they might be.”
Richard Dietrich Maddox's writing focuses on the search for permanent happiness, the goal of finding paradise on earth, the attainment of human Enlightenment. His work, though fiction, attempts to convey the profound spiritual Truth passed on to humanity by Enlightened Masters. Maddox approaches spiritual wisdom from a Western level of experience, presenting characters to whom readers can easily relate, offering situations in which readers might well have found themselves. His work offers, in a style which those living in the West will find understandable, the possibility of blissful existence.
