We all want to love & be loved. But because our sense of values is inverted our efforts in love simply result in suffering. Trying to love material objects and bodies only leads to sorrow because they are impermanent, imperfect and non-Self. Vedic values hold Brahman as the most important, beautiful, powerful and valuable. Therefore we should love Brahman above all else. All our problems are due to ignoring this good advice and running after inferior objects of love. In the Vedic worldview, gross bodies made of earthly elements are the most impermanent, least valuable forms. They exist in duality which means they are basically illusory. How can we expect a good result from loving illusory material forms? Brahman is present within every sentient being, and even within apparently insentient matter. We can experience loving Brahman as an immediate source of completely satisfying happiness and bliss. Therefore love of Brahman, the Self, is known as parā-bhakti or uttama-bhakti, the ultimate love free from all sorrow.
