"Love is the reflection of God's unity in the world of duality.
It constitutes the entire significance of creation. If love were
excluded from life, all souls in the world would assume
externally to each other, and their only possible relations and
contacts would be superficial and mechanical. It is because of
love that the contacts and relations between individual souls
become significant: and it is love that gives meaning to every
happening in the world of duality. But the love that gives
meaning to the world of duality is a standing challenge to it. As
it gathers strength, it generates creative restlessness and
becomes the spiritual dynamic that ultimately succeeds in
restoring to consciousness the original unity of being."
-Meher Baba
in order to create the fusion (energy of union) between the
two by loving. In our work, "Loving" is self-remembering
--that is, truly loving: for one cannot do so otherwise.
In this way we are able to fuse the two opposing elements of
existence and create/attract something higher. As Baba says,
without Love, aka self-remembering our "only possible relations
and contacts would be superficial and mechanical"--something I
think we have all had chances to verify.
and contacts would be superficial and mechanical"--something I

Thus, we must strive to "love thine enemies", for,
"without contraries is no progression."
