It urges and directs our behaviour, conscious and involuntary, towards an end.

The mother is irresistibly impelled to act towards her child's welfare, the ambitious man towards success, the artist towards expression of his vision.

All these are examples of behaviour, love-driven towards ends.

And religious experience discloses to us a greater more inclusive end, and this vital power of love as capable of being used on the highest levels, regenerated, directed to eternal interests; subordinating behaviour, inspiring suffering, unifying the whole self and its activities, mobilizing them for this transcendental achievement.

This generous love, to go back to the quotation from Baron von Huegel which opened our inquiry, will indeed cause the behaviour it controls to exhibit both rightful contact with and renunciation of the particular and fleeting; because in and through this series of linked deeds it is uniting with itself all human activities, and in and through them is seeking and finding its eternal end.
