[QUOTE="Ishraqiyun, post: 57901886, member: 280646"] It depends on how the term "self" is being used. There is a type of self that the highest love is without (the egoic "self"). There is also a Self that all love is striving for sometimes in misguided or confused ways or without even being conscious of it. This also called love for God. Like the Brihadaranyaka Upanshid says: "5) A wife loves her husband not for his own sake, dear, but because the Self lives in him. A husband loves his wife not for her own sake, dear, but because the Self lives in her. Children are loved not for their own sake, dear, but because the Self lives in her. Children are loved not for their own sake, but because the Self lives in them. Wealth is loved not for its own sake, but because the Self lives in it." I believe it is this Self that Christ is speaking of when He tells us to love everyone as we love our Self. [/QUOTE]
