In material consciousness, many of us have taken love equal to our emotional attachment or lust for worldly objects.

There is a huge difference between these two which can be summarized as follows.

Attachment is born of false egoism and pure love is born of true understanding;

attachment is darkness or falsehood, love is light or Truth;

attachment binds and love liberates;

attachment feeds egoism and love dissolves it;

attachment breads fear and hatred and love promotes courage and sacrifice;

attachment is possessiveness and love is freedom or Nirvaana;

attachment controls other person and love sets that person free to grow;

attachment is hurt and love is forgiveness and compassion;

attachment is churning ignorance or stupidity and love is churning learning in wisdom;

attachment is ugliness and love is Spiritual beauty;

attachment is inner filth or impurity and love is Purity;

attachment is weakness and love is Spiritual power;

attachment is birth-death cycle and love is Immortality;

attachment clouds our judgment and love helps us to be objective;

in attachment we pamper the other person when his actions gratify our egoism, but in love we are alert enough to caution the other person against unhealthy habits;

in attachment there is the noise of gain and loss, and in love there is Spiritual silence;

attachment breeds personal misery and disappointment and love knows the reality of sufferin

g;

attachment is body-consciousness ("I, me, mine, you") or selfishness and love is Pure Awareness or Immaculate Self;

attachment is desire and craving, and love is desirelessness and detachment;

attachment is sense gratification and love is Higher Taste;

attachment is evil and love is Divinity;

attachment is restlessness and love is intuitively balanced mind;

Attachment is differences and love is unity;

attachment is exploitation and love is cooperation;

attachment is fanaticism and bigotry and prejudices, and love is Oneness;

attachment is "taking" and love is "giving"; and so on.

I'm not saying that other love is true Manjot Singh Veerji here is what the article is telling us:

As long as there is attachment to material pleasure, there can be no true

love (sggs 328). Listen all, I tell you the Truth: One who practices

love attains God (Paatshaahee 10). One who performs selfless

service, without thought of reward, will attain God (sggs 286).

Without love, there is no devotional worship (sggs 67).

The Gurbani (SGGS) asks us to see God in man and everything else because the same One Reality pervades all. Hence, as universal love, each one of us is seated in the Heart of all beings and they in us. The practical implication is that we must selflessly love and do good to all the creatures. If we do not love, we cannot know God; for God is love. What it means is that if we do not love all the creatures, we cannot love God. Therefore, whatever little good we do with a pure heart and in a spirit of love to all the beings, that little behavior and conduct will help us to gradually to attain universal love, leading to achieving inner peace and realizing God within our own Heart.

Since God is simply love, He would very much like us to be inspired by love. Hence, knowing "God is love" is not enough, we must practice this love. Otherwise there is no meaning to it. In fact one's body without love becomes his own enemy. To love or serve God is to

selflessly love His creation. The purpose of spirituality or what we call "religion" is mainly to understand Oneness of all beings and live the life of harmony. In fact if we look at the glorious lives of all Spiritual Giants, they taught us to look for opportunities for giving unconditional love. In fact that's all they had — selfless love! Therefore, if we truly want to honor and spread the message of all such great souls then we should not look for love or truth, deliver It! In true religion or spirituality, therefore, there is no competition with others; only cooperation in love!
