There are various levels of love, ranging from the very grossest to the highest spiritual level. One can love in a very limited way by physical means only. One can love in a higher form where body and mind are involved. The highest level comes when mind, body and spirit are involved. That forms the totality of love.
The root of worship lies in the subject, not in the object.
The totality of love can only be expressed if we are total. In achieving the totality of love, one has discovered the secret of the universe. One has become one, in at-one-ment with the universe. Therein lies the completeness of love.
The kind of love which is most common with 99.99 percent of people is a kind of business: “I give you this and you give me that in return.” Pure love requires no return. When a sage says he loves the world, humanity, and every creature, he does not expect any return for it whatsoever, because he loves for the sake of love. That love within him is so powerful that it just expresses itself. In other words, he can’t help loving because he is love.
