Love implies duality. Without the lover there is no love. Wherever
there is duality there is ignorance.
Wherever there is ignorance the illusion is experienced as reality. Thus the lover and the love are part of the
illusion.
In reality love and lover are one in essence. That essence is
consciousness. The consciousness or soul
is the innermost self. The innermost
self is God. Call it Self, God, Christ, Brahman, inner Buddha or Emptiness or Nothingness
or Sprit or Love it is all the same.
When one becomes aware of the ultimate truth as a person of the
world he sees that the self or God [consciousness] pervades in everything
everywhere in all the three
states. Thus it is necessary realize the
innermost self or God or Buddha or Christ, is the lover and love together.
Thus our conditioned love conditioned by physicality will not be
able to recognize unconditional love the innermost self.
The love within the physical existence [practical world] is very valuable in practical life. Great master Paramahanasa Yogananad and many
other sages in the past prescribed unconditional love to the humanity. And
unconditional love is very valuable tool for the humanity which is immersed in
practical life and practical world. We
have to respect every sage for their service contribution to the humankind.
The path of love, path of humanity are limited to the practical
life within the practical world. Path of love and path of humanity are the best
tool to serve the human kind within the practical life with in the practical
world.
Gnani loves humanity in the practical world but inwardly he is
fully aware of the truth that the practical life within the practical world is
mere illusion from ultimate standpoint.
Thus path of love should
not be mixed with path of wisdom because the path of love is based on the
duality and path of wisdom is based on nonduality.
Jesus said, "Know
what is in front of your face, and what is hidden from you will be disclosed to
you.
It means one has to know the world which confronts him confronts
to realize his body and world are made of the same essence and that essence is
Spirit [father].
Sri, Sankara says: one must first know what is before him. If he
cannot know that, what else can he know or understand? If he gives up the
external world in his inquiry, he cannot get the whole truth.
[63.
Without causing the objective universe to vanish and without knowing the truth
of the Self, how is one to achieve Liberation by the mere utterance of the word
Brahman? — It would result merely in an effort of speech.[ Sri, Sankara says in Viveka Chudamani ]
Jesus said, "Those
who seek should not stop seeking until they find. When they find, they will be
disturbed. When they are disturbed, they will marvel, and will reign over all.
[And after they have reigned they will rest.]"
When the seeker indulges in deeper self-search becomes aware of the fact that,
the experience of birth, life , death and the world are mere illusion created out of spirit [consciousness], which
is the innermost self

Baba said: - give no importance to creed, dogma, caste or the
performance of religious ceremonies and rites.
The only Real Existence is that of the One and
only God Who is the Self in every (finite) self.
The only Real Love is the Love for this Infinity (God), which arouses an intense longing to see, know and become one with its Truth (God).
The only Real Sacrifice is that in which, in pursuance of this Love, all things—body, mind, position, welfare and even life itself—are sacrificed.
The only Real Renunciation is that which abandons, even in the midst of worldly duties, all selfish thoughts and desires.
The only Real Knowledge is the Knowledge that God is the inner dweller in good people and in so-called bad, in saint and in so-called sinner. This Knowledge requires you to help all equally as circumstances demand without expectation of reward, and when compelled to take part in a dispute, to act without the slightest trace of enmity or hatred; to try to make.

The real love is the love for the innermost self. Thus ‘Love Thyself'.
The self cannot be
experienced, because the experience is possible only in the realm of
duality. There is neither experience
nor experincer in reality. In
self-awareness the body, ego and the world are not considered different from
consciousness.
