@Leo Gura if Infinity and Love are identical there wouldn't need to be two words. They would be the same word  He's not wrong.  He doesn't use it because love tends to point to an emotion or feeling

this is one possible answer to the matter, I suspect sadhguru might reject the word Love for the same reason. 

Unconditional existential love should not even be in the same category as emotional love

What the fuck does this prove? It proves nothing.

You are using the logic of a child.

Pain does not disprove Oneness/Unity.

If you put your hand in the fire it will hurt. Hurt is also you.

Bullshit. İf the hurt is also me, it wouldn't be hurt. İt would be Me.

When there is oneness and unity, forget even a word, a sound can't be a or b. 

Fuck all of your experiences.

Surrender them.

And be what You truly are.

Entire universe arises and falls within You, You are none.

You're not making any sense   if You are Everything than that includes pain too.

In his mind if you needed to use the word Love it would indicate the word Infinity is not all encompassing enough.  Which in that case it wouldn't be Infinity.

This is bad logic.

The point of all this work is to unify various ideas in your divided mind.

World and mind are two different things until you realize they are identical.

And so on.

The human mind experiences facets to the Absolute. We utilize various labels to point at the different 'cut sides' & ways 'the light passes through' the refined gemstone.

[Willy Phallicus]

There's a reason why LOVE and EVOLution are the same backwards.

Without Love the whole thing flies apart.

[emil1234]

@Willy Phallicus what. hadnt heard that one before hahah

[Terell Kirby]

Ralston is conscious there is no self.

But is he conscious that he is God?

That is the question that none of us will ever know.

You can only know it for yourself, which is how it should be.

P.S. His books are awesome nonetheless

Well yeah you unify relative things into One (or the Absolute).  Take the word Consciousness.   Awareness is relative to non,-awareness.  Like Mind vs Material.  But you can unify Consciousness and infinity as Infinity is everything and nothing.  So what are we bringing together with love and Infinity?  You can realize "omg its Infinity" or "omg its Love" but really what do these words mean to you?  How do you interpret these words?  In the end we find that no words can actually capture "IT" ..not even "IT".

Semantics on fire.

Yes exactly. 

[Leo Gura]

No. Love has nothing do with semantics.

You are either conscious that everything is Love or you are not.

If this puzzles you, then you aren't conscious of Love.

If is no different than the word God. If the word God puzzles you, then you aren't conscious of it.

When you say, "But calling it love is just a word", that means you haven't realized Love. It's not just a word. Infinite Love is being pointed to and you're not getting it.

But that's what im asking you.  What is the facet of Love to you vis the facet of Oneness.  You have said in your videos that Absolute Love is the lack of all distinctions or the realization that there is no difference between anything.  That to me is Infinity or oneness, that to me misses the specific facet of Love of which you speak.  I want you to tell me the specific facet of Lpve that makes the word different.

[No1Here2c]

Love is Union.

Love is equivalent to Oneness.

God Loves so deeply that he is literally you!

God Loves so deeply that he will be there, in union, with & through it All!

[Inliytened1]

What i am asking you is Love better described  as feeling,  a warm feeling of connection and well.love!  If that's not the case than what makes it different from raw oneness?

I cannot answer such questions from my current state of consciousness.

[No1Here2c]

Technically I can try but it would be no better than for me to shout bad words in the airport.
