Love as the End Goal
- The ultimate goal of the spiritual journey is love.
- This involves loving God and extending that love to others.
Four Stages of Love
- Bernard of Clairvaux describes four stages of love: self-love, love of God for self, love of God for God, and love of self for God.
- Each stage represents a step towards mature, perfect love.
Origin of Love
- The concept of love as life's meaning originates from Jesus, not science, politics, or Eastern religions.
- This idea has become widespread in the modern West, despite its non-secular roots.
