“The deepest love imaginable is love that arises from the deepest part of oneself. It is also the deepest part of oneself that is the most authentic part of oneself; the self that one mostly deeply identifies with. Thus, the deepest love imaginable results in an experience of fully internalizing that which is loved. This is not to say that the individual is fully absorbed into the object of love (as in deep empathy); rather, the object of love is fully absorbed into the individual. In this way, their remains space to hold that which is loved.
From this space there must arise only action & attitude that has the utmost care of the object of love as its supreme goal. The absence of these characteristics suggests that the individual does not fully love themself (for as previously asserted, the deepest love has the object of love as indistinguishable from the individual). In contrast, the presence of benevolent action and attitude fully qualifies the deepest love imaginable. It suggests that the individual seeks to confer & conserve the virtue they derive from their existence to the object of love, an effort that can only be sustained at this depth If one fully loves themself.”

“The deepest love imaginable is the essence of our very own heart beat. For what reason does out heart beat? Only to keep us alive another second….another second…another second. The heart does not receive anything for it’s hard work, yet we receive the gift of life through it’s constant beats. Is that not love? To live for another second…and another second…and another second.”

“The love of a Creator to bring forth this miracle Life, with miracle Earth and all intertwined inhabitants; to bring forth a miracle Sun, miracle Moon, miracle cosmos, to give us these miracle bodies, breath, water, fire, heart, mind, free will, and all the intricacies and intimacies of our experience in this miracle existence.”

“I think that the word ‘love’ gets mis-defined a lot in our world today. A lot of people equate love with romance, happiness, having their needs be met by someone. But I think love is deeply generosity. Unconditional selflessness. It’s not ‘how can this person make me feel satisfied,’ but “what can I do to make this person/thing/idea happy/full/flourish?”

“Love can be a powerful thing. It can lead us to complete ecstasy and into utter depression. This word is used a lot in our society, maybe too much. So what is real love? I personally lump in the word love with god, chi, kundalini and so on. To me they are rooted in the same thing which is gratitude. The greatest love is forever being grateful. This how we soften and naturally stay open to connecting with others. The more grateful one can become, the more full of life, energy and spirit they will be.”

“
“So often we talk about love these days, perhaps without even knowing what it really is or it’s true nature. All of us love three things only. We love that which we see as a means for happiness or getting to God. We love a ‘God’ which we see as a means for getting something else. Lastly, we love our own highest Self and all others as God. These three energies of love are from weakest to strongest. I will go into detail below…”
First, we love the goal. The objective that you want to achieve. If you didn’t love it you would not pursue it, would you? We have many goals in life and we want them. So we love these goals dearly, be it a person or a thing. It makes us happy.Why is the goal lovable? You love the goal because it satisfies you. The purpose of any goal is that it satisfies you and you feel happy. So more important than the Goal is myself. I love myself the most in this universe. So once the goal has achieved the purpose of satisfying you, you may even drop the goal. It happens in every divorce or separation, does it not? If the person doesn’t continue to satisfy you, you can drop it. Be it a lover, a parent, a son, friends and of course things. The person I love most is myself. The intensity is the highest also.
Many people love God – Jesus, Allah, Shiva, Vishnu or any god of your choice. This love we call Bhakti. So you can love god as a means to get something else. We go begging for something, but once we get it we forget god. This is what the majority of us do. This is a lower love. Then there are others who love God as a goal with a form and name. He is the cause of everything. The omnipotent, all loving, all giving entity. This more advanced state of love is to see god not just as creator but also as the cause of everything. So you move from one form to all forms. All humans, animals, plants, etc. You begin to see god as everything. This is a higher form of love.
The last, of course, is when you begin to see your own self (Atman) as God as the all pervading substratum of you and everything here. The love of the Self is the highest. So love is of different intensities – know this to be the Truth and reflect on it.”
