~ Unconditional Love and Universal Love ~
02/20/2020
For
consideration:
Unconditional
love is a familiar term
used
frequently particularly in recent years.
* * *
* * * * * * * *
Reference: Wikipedia
Unconditional
love is known as affection
without any limitations, or love
without conditions.
Reference: People also ask:
What does it mean to love someone unconditionally?
To define unconditional
love is to say that a person
loves someone unselfishly,
that he or she cares about
the happiness of the other person and will do anything in
return. In other words, the definition of unconditional love
is “love without conditions”.
* * * * * * * * * * *
The
expression at times seems over used and/or perhaps
inappropriately
used. The above description(s) appear(s) correct
for
typical usage, however Universal love
may, at times,
more
accurately describe what was/is truly intended.
Unconditional love tends to suggest/imply a sense
of
‘personal, intimate, affectionate
connection’
which is generally
associated
with human emotion/emotional attachment.
Universal love on the other hand, is
unattached,
neutral,
impersonal: Without limits [and or conditions].
Both
terms convey love.
Differentiation
can take place within the spiritual heart.
Universal love requires little, if any, human
effort,
emotion, response, intensity, stepping forward
or aside,
nor entails withdrawal. Instead,
Universal love is an unconscious
action/reaction; an
emotion
that has zero ‘conditions’; even un-conditions-al.
Reference: “Universal Love” in Buddhism
The transition from an everyday to an enlightened life is
the transition from non-universal to universal love, and only
universal love
can help human beings achieve enlightenment; even the Bodhisattvas
[Mahayana saviors] achieve nirvana only through universal love.
Is
there a difference, does it matter?
