Love for the Divine  Self is primary; while  for other worldly objects or persons is secondary.  Worldly love for another person cannot be termed as genuine love. The Jagath (cosmos) or the Prapancha (five-element  composite) emanated from the Brahman (God). There is no spot in the Universe  where the Divine is not manifest. The cosmos is ever in movement and the Lord  of the Cosmos (Jagadiswara) is the mover. Love for the Divine Self is the  source of all worldly love. The Upanishads clearly proclaim that when you love  the Divine Self, it brings everyone nearer and dearer to you (Atmanastu Kaamaaya  Sarvam Priyam Bhavati).
