Because of his present inherent limitations of ego- consciousness, it is virtually impossible for man to avoid conflict, aggression, and wars. But the Gurus clearly hold out hope for man. There are four stages of evolution or development. ”55 The Gurus clearly say that it is human destiny to reach the fourth stage and to meet God, or to be a gurmukh , or one who is in tune with the fundamental Reality or Universal Consciousness, God, Naam, or Love. His ideal is not merger in God or salvation, or union as an end in itself.
Corollaries of ‘God is Love’ :This spiritual experience leads to five corollaries. First, it ipso facto gives status, meaning and reality to the world and life, because Love and God’s Attributes can be 15 expressed only in a becoming universe. For, when God was all by Himself, the question of love and devotion did not arise. ”2 Second, it clearly implies that the religious man has to lead a life of creativity and activity. Consequently, a householder’s life is accepted and monasticism is spurned.

Stace has made a detailed survey of the description various mystics give of the nature of their spiritual experience of the Ultimate Reality.
