ABSTRACT

Love is creation in its purest sense. Through the giving of unconditional love, the vitality of love in the recipient is inspired. A metamorphosis occurs within the loved one and may well multiply. Love is the ultimate purpose of life. Bureaucratic, economic, governmental, legal, and social situations have been transformed by non-violent strategies and love, such as those furthered by Mahatma Gandhi. “ Unconditional love combined with clarity of perception and spiritual strength form a trinity of experience which could become among the greatest gifts we might offer ourselves and others on this planet-and may very likely serve as our passport into the next millennium” (Chaudhuri, 1987, xvii).
