Unconditional Love

Unconditional love is, without question, one of the most important aspects of a felt spirituality. In the traditional Hindu sense, love is described as devotion and surrender (bhakti). It implies that liberation can be experienced only when we give ourselves completely to an impersonal God. In this sense, love is a total absorption in the Absolute. Christians, Jews and Muslims, as descendants of Abrahamic belief, hold that love is a dualistic process. We should love God but we can never be God, who remains always different from ourselves. Liberation or salvation comes from his redemption and not because of our actions alone.

The Path of No Way suggets that it isn‘t love that makes us free but the expression of freedom that extends itself in this love. However, if we love to become free, there is no liberation. Love needs to be given without conditions or as a medium for anything else – even freedom. In our sense, freedom, love, spirituality and oneness are all synonyms for the same experience of ultimate Truth. Freedom describes its state of being distached while love explains its expression with others. Spirituality is the path of Truth with all its learnings and aspects of surrender. Oneness is the feeling when there is no separation. For truth cannot be divisive; otherwise it isn‘t absolute.
