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 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 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 path of love is religious path because religion is 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 path of love is limited to the physical structure, it cannot transport one to 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.
The love within the physical existence (practical world) is very valuable in practical life. Grand master of yoga Sri, 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 fact that, from ultimate standpoint, the practical life within the practical world is
mere illusion.
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 non-duality.
Non- dualistic Love is the nature of the soul, the innermost self. The love is in the form of the consciousness. Love is the shoreless Non-dual Ocean. Love is beyond form, time and space. Non-dualistic love is beyond instinct, intellect, imagination and inspiration. The love is unconscious of its true nature when it is in illusion (duality). Only beyond illusion (duality) it is in its formless non-dual true nature.
The
nature of the innermost self is non-dualistic love. Love is the witness that
experiences the action, the actor, and the world of separate things. It is like
a light that illuminates everything in a theatre, revealing the master of
ceremonies, the guests, and the dancers with complete impartiality. Even when
they all depart, the light shines to reveal their absence.
What
is not consciousness (non-dualistic love) in the experience of diversity
(waking or universe)? The waking and the
dream cease to exist without love (soul).
The seeker, seeking and his experience of the world are one in essence.
That essence is non-dualistic –love (soul or consciousness). Thus all dualistic
experience (universe) is created out of single stuff. That single stuff is
love, which pervades in everything and everywhere in all the three states. Thus nothing exist other than the love, which
is present in the form of consciousness.
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).
Sage 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.
Sage Sri, Sankara says- VC- 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.
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, he will be in fear of losing their physical
identity and the experience of the world
which he dearly attached. But
gradually his conviction grows about the innermost self the mid becomes still
and rests in consciousness, the innermost self, which is god or Christ.

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.
