Although in all his books the author stresses the distinction between the world of mental notions and the objective spiritual reality that underlies all physical perceptions, The Book on Love is of particular significance as it distinguishes expressions of emotional attachment from the elemental cosmic force sustaining all creation. Few words are used so readily, and with a wider range of connotations, reaching from an attribute of God to the material realm of physical desire, than is the concept "love." Yet while incessantly abused by thoughtless speech, the substance of the world is not debased; even as the sun is not defiled by shining on a putrid swamp. What fundamentally distinguishes all forms of human love from the almighty cosmic force which also bears that name, is that the former need an object they attract and would possess, while the latter—the divine, celestial revelation of that power—is wholly free of all attachment, being perfect and sufficient in itself. It is the latter form of love that animates the Spirit's infinite dimensions, and its reflection must inspire human souls who would experience what all the great historical religions had been founded to convey. A special chapter in the present book sheds light on the historical life and mission of Jesus of Nazareth, who was the greatest Mediator of that highest form of love embodied in this life, which made him able to accomplish his redemptive sacrifice at Golgotha.
