Embodiments of Love!
Mulla Nasruddin said "I'm sorry, I've already lent her to somebody else."
Suddenly the donkey was heard braying loudly behind a wall.
"You lied to me, Nasruddin!" the neighbor exclaimed.
"What do you mean?" Nasruddin replied indignantly.

तस्मिन् अनन्यता तद्विरोधिषु उदासीनता च
Transliteration
Word by word meaning
Simple Meaning
You cannot leave something until you love it.
You are tied to things you don’t like.
If you hate something, you will be drawn to it again and again (even though the person or form may change) until you love it.
Once you love it, you are free from it.
A short story
A neighbor came to Mulla Nasruddin’s house asking for his donkey.
Mulla Nasruddin said "I'm sorry, I've already lent her to somebody else."
Suddenly the donkey was heard braying loudly behind a wall.
"You lied to me, Nasruddin!" the neighbor exclaimed.
"Donkey is tied up behind the wall"
"What do you mean?" Nasruddin replied indignantly.
"Whom would you rather believe, a donkey or your Nasruddin?"
