Otherness is self engineered for togetherness.

The current theory on the origin of life, abiogenesis, is like science wanted to go full ensō on itself but stopped short at reaching a final conclusion. This final conclusion being that the origin of self is self not wanting to be by itself and that the purpose of self is companionship otherwise known as love. Hence biodiversity.

Of course all that is here is Self desiring not to be by itself. It is why diversity exists. Diversity exist not to feel alone. Diversity exists for Companionship. Diversity exists for Love. The purpose is not to fight, quite the contrary, the purpose is Companionship otherwise known as Love.

The origin of the universe is (the awareness of) loneliness and the purpose of the universe is companionship. All this for love, so not to be alone.

So to love and be loved; such is the meaning of life, of self.

At any time, there is only oneself.Self is differentiated for companionship.Companionship verily the purpose of self.

All is one and the purpose of one is love.

Self appears as many but all the many are Self. Self appears as many not to be by itself. Self appears as many for Companionship. Self appears as many for Friendship. Self appears as many to Love and be Loved in endless return.

There's a couple of different realizations. Perhaps the first realization is Aham Brahmasmi. Then perhaps the following is realized. Before Abraham I AM. Then perhaps the following is realized. Before Brahman ॐ. As such it is realized ॐ. But it doesn't stop here for what really matters is Love. You see. Why does Self (I) perceive itself as diversified? Diversity exists not to be alone. Diversity exists for Companionship. Diversity exist for Love. Love is Terminus Ad Quem.
