You cannot find love; you can only know love. When you know love, love will find you. When you know yourself as love you are as a magnet and you will attract love from others.
The title of this article comes from one of the four facets taught by Isha. Isha teaches that unconditional love is all there is.

People seek the love they do not have and this is opposite of how the system works. If you are looking for something you are actually making a statement about your own experience. You are saying I do not have love; I want love, and therefore I will try to find it. Of course when you try to find anything, it will elude you because you return the experience of trying. Even if you were to try to trick yourself and say "I will find love" you will still return the experience of tricking yourself.
The shortest and easiest way to know it is to be in the moment of love. Know yourself as love, as one who gives it, and in that moment you will feel it.
I am referring to unconditional love, not physical human love. Unconditional love is not the warm and fuzzy love you have for your parents, puppy or lover; it is real love. Unconditional love is another word for freedom and it is emotionless. It does not judge or own; it is complete acceptance of all that is. It is the awareness that all others are aspects of your own unconditional love which allows freedom of thought, word, and deed.
Unconditional loves allows for the creations and destruction of people and worlds within the awareness that those involved have chosen to experience these things through free will at some level of their consciousness. Unconditional love is the awareness of the perfection of all things. Nothing is imperfect or inappropriate unless you think it so. And then it is your own experience of imperfection that you have created in the moment. To experience or know imperfection you must know that you are perfect and want to experience imperfection at your will. It is the desire to experience these things which comes first, and then the event or experience is manifested.
Physical, fuzzy love is transient, illusionary and fickle by its very nature. It leaves as quickly or even quicker than it comes. Whereas unconditional love is the very nature of spirit, it's only the awareness of its presence which eludes humanity in general. Because you cannot feel unconditional love, you tend to ignore it or assume its non-existence as apposed to fuzzy physical love which is felt as an emotion.
With the awareness of unconditional love comes the opportunity to experience life in all its aspects as natural, joyful, and desirable. With this wakefulness you allow yourself to accept the responsibility and power for creating these experiences. Through the eyes of the silent observer of which you are, you can see the events from a higher perspective and purpose. You may watch yourself experiencing all these things without judgment or emotion of any kind.
