The goal of life is to realize God in truth.+

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 the 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 a reality within the falsehood. Lover and love cease to exist in reality because the duality is not a reality.

The experience of practical life within the practical world is a reality within the waking experience but the waking experience itself is merely an illusion created out of the consciousness.

Thus, lover, love, and the world are one, in essence. Thus, the path of love is religious because religion is the path of individuality.

The Soul, the Self is not an individual to love or hate. In Advaitic reality, there is no second thing that exists other than consciousness.

Thus there is no duality whereas love implies duality. The ‘Self is fullness of consciousness. The Soul, the Self, is the formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

Humanism is limited to practical life within the practical world. The path of love is the path for humanity therefore, it is the individualized path.

The path of love is limited to the physical structure, it cannot transport one to the ultimate end. Thus, the seeker has to understand the fact that, from the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, the practical life, and the practical world are merely an illusion.

Remember:~

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 that is expended in mere thinking, taking, or writing is like steam that escapes through the whistle of a 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 know and realize his innermost Self is God and identify it as his true identity to find liberation from the bondage of the illusion of birth, life, death, and the world (duality). The goal of our life is to find and realize our identity with our beloved God, which is the Self. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
