Thus our, and everything else's, Spirit is a spiritual substance that is eternally existing conscious bliss. This can easily ( in my opinion ) be know as Pure Infinite Love.

Therefore, one way to experience or BE Pure Infinite Love is to realize ones True Nature as Self the Atman.
Thank you so much!

That is truly beautiful.

How do you think that should inform our daily lives and decisions? Is it just a 'self' realization, or does it impact the world at all?

I think that we should strive to Realize our True-ness, our True State of Being and then automatically, wherever we go we share that State with others, thus uplifting the world - just by being. It also opens the way for others' to Realize this Unconditional Love State of Beingness. This - some say - is (one of) the best ways to positively impact the world.

Why, because it hits at the very root of suffering..... the one thing no one really wants to have in life and to experience it or their loved ones experience.

You da bomb BE - the LOVE BOMB!


So what in your opinion is it we are fighting? If people's true nature is Pure Infinite Love, how can people be so cruel?

Here's the non-dualist take on it from the last of four speeches by Vivekananda given in London in November 1896.

https://www.ramakrishnavivekananda.i...ta_part_iv.htm

What right has any section of the community to base the whole work and evolution of the universe upon one of these two factors alone, upon competition and struggle? What right has it to base the whole working of the universe upon passion and fight, upon competition and struggle? That these exist we do not deny; but what right has anyone to deny the working of the other force? Can any man deny that love, this "not I", this renunciation is the only positive power in the universe? That other is only the misguided employment of the power of love; the power of love brings competition, the real genesis of competition is in love. The real genesis of evil is in unselfishness. The creator of evil is good, and the end is also good. It is only misdirection of the power of good. A man who murders another is, perhaps, moved to do so by the love of his own child. His love has become limited to that one little baby, to the exclusion of the millions of other human beings in the universe. Yet, limited or unlimited, it is the same love.

Thus the motive power of the whole universe, in what ever way it manifests itself, is that one wonderful thing, unselfishness, renunciation, love, the real, the only living force in existence. Therefore the Vedantist insists upon that oneness. We insist upon this explanation because we cannot admit two causes of the universe. If we simply hold that by limitation the same beautiful, wonderful love appears to be evil or vile, we find the whole universe explained by the one force of love. If not, two causes of the universe have to be taken for granted, one good and the other evil, one love and the other hatred. Which is more logical? Certainly the one-force theory.

Ignorance. laziness. wrong views. I am not sure we are fighting it though, at least not personally and not within us. There are a few proven methods: one is observing it and how it causes suffering and it disapates all on it's own in time.

In the objective world is an added inputes though to help when needed. If someone is beating someone or stealing a child, then we intervene as we can, in whatever way we sensibly can. Here again, are we fighting? maybe.
