Where there is love there is life.
Gandhi isn't simply saying that love makes existence pleasant—he's making a metaphysical claim that love and life itself are inseparable, almost interchangeable. Without love, you might breathe and move, but you're not truly alive in the way humans are meant to be. A parent sitting vigil at a child's hospital bed, exhausted and frightened, is more genuinely alive in those hours of love than someone living a comfortable, solitary existence. Gandhi saw love not as an ornament to life but as its very substance.
