It is a perfect creation in which imperfection is allowed in the existence of the separated living entities, who identify with the separated energy. Free will is the key to understand duality and individuality. Individuality is the eternal principle of the spiritual reality, and duality is the eternal principle of the illusory, material reality. Every temporary form within the material world eternally exists in the spiritual world in its pure, original form. The only principle of the spiritual world is love.
Love is spontaneous, voluntary affection.
Real love in its perfect, original, and natural form is to please one's beloved without consideration of one's own pleasure, for to please the beloved is the lover's greatest pleasure. Our original beloved is God. If we love God, we will want to please Him. Since love is spontaneous, every living being has free will and the freedom of choice. God does not force anyone to love Him.
