two full hearts -- makes the world go round" is all nonsense. Whether you are here or not, the world will continue to go round.
And two hearts full of love... where are you going to find them?
The world would have stopped long ago if it were dependent on two hearts full of love. Even to find one heart is very difficult; two is too much! But those are just mass-mind oriented proverbs, not statements of a man like Bukko.

There is the beginning of real love, which always ends in divorce.
The world of religion is not the world of duality. It is a world of oneness. You have to find your own heart, utterly empty, empty of all rubbish. And when your heart is empty of all rubbish, you are the buddha. There is no other experience which goes beyond it.

"No! No way!" demands Olga. "No lovemaking until you find out what is going on downstairs."
Poor Kowalski stumbles downstairs with a very large erection, and flips on the the lights.
Suddenly, the cat jumps out of the window. The dog dives under the sofa. And the parrot,
