Varma's new-age adaptation of Vatsyayana's cult classic Kama Sutra makes precisely this point.

But as long as you do not know exactly what it is you have lost your search cannot be fulfilled. Love is the ability to experience.

Love is sensitivity. Love is the experience in which all your impurities are washed away and you throw open all your doors, all your gates.

Then whosoever stands at your door is no longer an enemy or a friend but a beloved, and you open your door to him.When you begin to feel the whole world is yours, when you begin to see the beloved in whosoever comes to your door, when you no longer see strangers or enemies, when you begin to see only (less)
