IN this video, I explain when loving someone unconditionally becomes possible. The only thing required for unconditional love for everyone and everything is the love that you have for yourself. Now by love for yourself, I don't at all mean the love which is purely driven by narcissism. Loving yourself means taking care of your state of consciousness, loving yourself means putting in all out efforts in spiritual practices for knowing who you truly are. The truth is that unconditional love is not possible unless you know yourself as the witnessing Consciousness, as the Awareness beyond the body mind complex, unless you know yourself who you truly are, unconditional love would remain just empty words. What happens when you come to realize your True Nature? When you discover your True Self which is nothing but Pure Consciousness, Pure Awareness, Pure Intelligence, you recognize that it's the same Consciousness behind all the bodies, it's the same Consciousness which is expressing through different bodies. And you are that Consciousness. So when you experience this, you find yourself in each and everything, and then unconditional becomes possible. Right now, for you, 'I' means this body mind complex, right now because of the identification with the body, you think that you exist till the tips of your fingers, beyond the fingers, the not-I starts, the other starts. Right now you are ignorant about the fact that the Consciousness within you which is expressing through this body, is the same within your partner, within your spouse, within parents, your children, your friends, your enemies, and the whole world of forms! When I say this, I am reminded of a beautiful verse from Bhagvad Gita. It goes like this, विद्याविनयसम्पन्ने ब्राह्मणे गवि हस्तिनि | शुनि चैव श्वपाके च पण्डिता: समदर्शिन: || This is the eighteenth verse of the fifth chapter of Bhagvad Gita. It says, that the knower of Truth, the Enlightened sage looks upon everyone with an equal eye. He doesn't make any distinction whatsoever because he sees himself in all, he sees the same Consciousness expressing through different bodies and minds. He knows that the bodies and minds are transient in nature, they are temporary, but the consciousness is eternal, is the same within everyone. That is the experience of all enlightened Masters. That's why you find them so compassionate so loving, towards everyone. You may consider yourself as the body mind complex, but the enlightened masters sees the Eternal Consciousness within you, he sees the Real beyond the transient body mind complex.
