Unity Means The End of Love
In order for there to be love expressed, there must be at least two nodal individuals, two identities, two persons. Love involves exchanges. If the identity is merged in Oneness of the Supreme Brahman, Nirvana, there is no more love possible, as there is no more individuals.
In terms of spiritual psychology, entering the bramhajyoti, the undifferentiated spiritual status, it is like suicide. It is like burning down the house to avoid paying taxes. It is like sticking one's head in the spiritual sand. It is a type of fatalistic cowardism, obscurantism. It is denial of life, denial of love, denial of everything out of frustration due to dissatisfaction with the limited material sphere of activities and consciousness. It is the last trap of Maya.
We came to the material world to play at being ourselves the Supreme Being, and when that fails, we seek to end our identity. That is Maya's trick.
Freedom from materialistic limited consciousness is a good thing, to negate the limits of matter, but the positive spiritual activities need to be understood, other wise one can become liberated, like flying the rocketship of spirit up into space away from the world, but once up there, where do you land?
Therefore, Godhead has arranged infinite divine realms of blissful loving exchanges. Bodies in Vaikuntha spiritual planets are made of concentrated blissful awareness. There is no birth death disease old age. Everyone has everything inherently. Therefore, exchanges of loving service, unneeded but shared, the dance of love, that is the dance there. That is what we may seek to reenter, having forgotten our place there, temporarily, prodigal sons.
To revive that identity, we are given the Hare Krishna maha mantra, composed of selected Names of Godhead. In spiritual reality, the name and the reality are the same, unlike here, where, for example, chanting the name coca cola wil not bring me the satisfaction of the beverage in truth. But in the spirtual sky, the person and their name are the same.
The effects are sure, but may be instant or slow, depending upon the karmic and spiritual status of the individual chanting.
