I think love is the natural state of awareness. Our personality is like a sheet of cloth with wrinkles on it. All we have to relax and let the sheet to unwind until it is undistorted and without differentiation. When there is no differentiation all one can feel is wholeness, all one capable of is love which is a projection of the undistorted self.
Easier said than done though. Very difficult to relax when your mind keep asking relaxing what and why. My approach is to relax the little twists first, like if I can say "good morning" but usually I felt lazy, I just will do it even though I may not feel like it completely. Little by little, the bigger ones will become smaller and smaller... overtime when I reach a state when there is only one and two bigger ones left, it became easier to elevate myself and get a clear view of my sheet. The hidden wrinkles will surface, but by then I feel like just keeping on relaxing, this generate a momentum to keep undistorting, which means it will get better and better...
What I try to say is love is not some object. It is a state inside you and you feel it more clearly when your personality relax enough.
Oh, another thought is that since all your perception is generated by yourself, so all you can perceive is your self. It doesn't matter if there is anything outside yourself or not, all you can experience is yourself anyway. When this is fully realized, there would be an overwhelming sense of peace. If one is able to dwell on this, one is able to project peace and love to physical reality. All facets of oneself can be viewed equally and naturally return to an undifferentiated state.
