For Gibran love to direct people to God, and because the love of God also bring together Himself to man. Because it is in the view of Gibran real love is love for God and love of God Himself, because everything is a reflection and the immanence of the Mahacinta. Love to others besides Allah, but on behalf of and is based on God will bring man and the universe to fellowship with God. This is revealed clearly in his article titled Love Beauty of Silence, (Yogyakarta, Cultural Landscapes, 1999, p.. 72-74)
"Love Thy led approach but then anxiety led me away from it. I have left my bed, love, for fear of forgetfulness ghost hiding behind the blanket off. Wake up, wake up, my love, and listen to me. I listened to you, my beloved! I heard Your call of the ocean and feel the softness of thy wings. I have my bed and leave the walking on the grass. Embun night wet feet and the hem of my clothes, here I stand under the Almond tree flowers, attention to thy spirit. "
Gibran not only emphasizes love as the basis for the relationship between man and God, but more than that through and in human love is directed, led until the last stage of life in union with God. Love beyond human limitations, through physical space and meet with God. Thus love Gibran placed as the most important and highest form of relationship.
To get to the fellowship with God through Love, for Gibran's love must depart from the concrete human role in human nature and potential-potential far and wide. In the trilogy "The Prophet, the Garden of the Prophet, and the Voice of the Master (Yogyakarta, Library Literature, 2004, p. 212) clearly illustrates Gibran about it.
"You people of faith who could find the existence of a basis for the advancement of all mankind in both human nature, and that in humans there are stairs leading to the perfection of the Holy Spirit? If you can apply this, then you will like a lily in the garden of truth the eternal fragrance stored either inhaled human or swept away by the wind. "
The same thing is said Gibran dalamSemua For Love (Yogyakarta, Narrative, 2005, p.. 54)
"Life without love is like a sturdy tree stand but dried branches, without flowers or fruit decorated."
In line with the views of the mystical religions of the Book, for Gibran unity of God and human beings do not only occur in an overwhelming love and ardent to God in ecstasy. Gibran better view of the ethical aspects of mystical experience. Mystical experiences in the view of Gibran does not mean running away from the duties and responsibilities of living in this world, with stepped aside to enter the ecstatic happiness for myself alone, back to the world and forget all the sorrows of life themselves and others. For her mysticism that only selfishness is egoism aka denial of human nature. Gibran emphasize that the relationship between God and human love will become real if the overflow into the world in the form of love for one another. This must happen not in words, but in compassion and self sacrifice.
The highest manifestation of love for Gibran is involved or involve themselves in the world, and forms of involvement was interpreted by Gibran to work. Work or job is the only form of human relationship with God in the world, as a form of self-sacrifice of the concrete. Work that is intended Gibran not only involve physical resources but also human thoughts and feelings. Through human work can manifest itself as an individual. By working people can immerse themselves in unity with others, and by working well humans can see God in the universe. This is depicted in a trilogy Gibran (p.28-29)
"... I say that life is darkness, if without the passion and desire. And all desire-the desire is blind, if not accompanied by knowledge. And all knowledge is hollow, if not followed by a job. And every job will be in vain, if not accompanied by love. Working with a sense of love, it means you are uniting yourself with yourself, with the selves of others - and to God. "
Gibran believed that the work is a fundamental dimension of human life in the world. The background idea is because man is the image of God, as well as orders received from the Creator to conquer and rule the world. For Gibran all jobs must be oriented towards human love. Because the work is based on love, then through work or work not only changed the nature of human beings, but also manifest itself and build a family community and nation.
For Gibran Love has no meaning other than to realize their own meanings. Love does not give anything in humans, except the whole himself, and cintapun not take anything from people, except from himself. Love does not have or own, because it has been enough to love. But if people love with passion and desire, then the man must disarm himself, running in it, and get involved. It's just in love with a perfect human life could not be found. Life is a veil of darkness, hooded and veiled. Through and in human love always encouraged to do the search for meaning of life with the practice of love, but perfect love only exists and is owned by God.
"If you love, do not say:" God is in my heart "but instead you feel:" I was in God "And do you think that you can determine the direction of love, for love where it has been settled on you, he shall determine the life journey of love. " (Trilogy p.14)
In life, humans are not able to measure the quality of love, because true love is the fullness of God Himself. God is the beginning and end of life, God is love, then only in and through human love walking and directs himself to God
