People think love is the means to
self-realization but they are unaware of the fact that, love and hate are made
of the same stuff. Love is not the means of self –realization. Love is very
much necessary in practical life within the practical world. Love implies
duality. Whatever is of duality is
falsehood. Thus love is the reality within the falsehood. Lover and love ceases to exist in reality
because the experience of duality is not reality. The experience of practical life within
practical world is the reality within the waking experience but waking
experience itself is mere illusion created out of consciousness. Thus lover and
love are one in essence. Thus the path of love is a religious path because
religion is a path of individuality or duality.
The humanism is limited to practical
life within the practical world. The path of love is path for
humanity therefore, it is individualized path. Thus the path of love is limited to the physical
structure, it cannot transport one to the ultimate end. Thus seeker has to
understand the fact that the practical life and practical world are part of the
mirage from the ultimate standpoint.
Love the soul, the innermost self, which is present in the form of consciousness The consciousness is ultimate truth or Brahman . and Brahman is God.
Meher Baba said: - To love God as he ought to be loved, we must love
for God and die for god, knowing that the goal of life is to know God, and find
him as our own self.
To realize God is to attain liberation from the bondage of
illusion.
Live only to find and realize your true identity with your beloved God.
The energy which is expended in mere thinking, taking or writing is like
steam which escapes through the whistle of railway engine …
That is why the sages have always insisted on practice rather than
theory. This applies particularly to those who want to know and realize
God.

-----It means one has to one has to know and realize his inner
most self is God and identify it has his true identity to find liberation from
the bondage of the illusion of birth, life, death and world(duality).
The goal of our life is to find and realize our identity with our beloved God,
which is our innermost self.
