Mai-ism believes that all acts of virtue, goodness, morality, justice, truth, etc. or their opposites can be subsumed under any of the three classifications, viz. love, indifference and hatred. Love opens up the treasure-house of all goodness, virtue, peace of mind and true happiness. Hatred results in betrayals, defiance, condemnation, injuries and harmfulness of the most painful and oppressive nature.
Thus, we are finally speaking about Love and Hate. Longings and aversions are as good a man's constituents as happiness and misery. Thus, love and hate play a more wonderful part than one can imagine. You go on developing that element of Love for your God and Guru. You automatically become a better and better man, without yourself getting conscious about it.
Love and Devotion are the last words, as remedial elements. Your whole series of virtues and vices have their origin in the love and hate that you bear to the man you deal with.
This, the Founder explains on pages 125-126 and 161-162 of Part II of Mai Sahasranama (Vol.I).
Few people understand why in Mai-ism, Love is so much valued and why the first requirement is " Love All ". It becomes yet still more difficult for them that have no discrimination of " Love and Lust ", "interested and disinterested".
All goodness, virtue, happiness and peace of mind results from Love. Love or the feeling of unity of all different selves in and with Mother and one's own self is creative of order, organisation, consolidation, equilibrium and tranquility.
It is Love that develops a particular admirable type of emotion, character and behavior.
Love helps, gives, prays, feels grateful, appreciates and returns,, gives and shares.
Love results in trust, faith, cheerfulness, contentment, forbearance, magnanimity, mercy, forgiveness, confidence, honesty, dignity, charity, etc.
What is Love? It is liking, being attracted to, feeling pleasure in, being ready to sacrifice for, wishing to be nearer to, burning with the desire of embracing and being embraced by, absorbing and being absorbed in, pulling and being pulled in by intense living. Love has as its symptoms Mahatva, Mamatva, Sankocha-Rahitva, Seva, Samagama and Samarpana (overvaluing, feeling of myness, non-difference feeling, service, a desire of constant contact, and self-surrender).
Love is levelisation. Filling in the deficiency, usurping the excessive-ness, longing for satisfying the requirements and gratifying, reciprocating, confiding in, and being confided with, sharing joys and sorrows with, feeling an excruciating pain in forsaking or being forsaken by.
Love is the root of all virtues and the sacrificing struggle for realization of unity. Love has its own limitlessness, mysteriousness and miraculous-ness. Love is strength and fearlessness and regenerative-ness. Love is humility, patience, forbearance and endurance.
Love is the power of fulfilling and conquering. Love is the power of expansion and transformation.
Sublimation of Love secures Salvation.
