Unconditional love is a myth. When you water down your feelings so that you just love everybody equally, you become sort of a zombie. I've gone to some activism events where Christians were, and met some people like that. They'd come up to you and say something like "I love you" or "God loves you" and move on. There really isn't any real feeling there for me from them. It's just something they feel they must feel inside themselves. When you try to talk to someone like that, they just stare at you blankly. It's really sad.
Humans judge other humans. That's natural, and useful to our daily lives. We can and should give people a basic level of respect, on the assumption that they are average decent people. However, that level of respect changes as you get to know the person. They either gain more respect or lose it based on their interaction with you. It's not a fixed "everybody is equal/love everybody" thing. You treat people decently, and go on from there.
Christians, here, are confusing love for societal mores and general human compassion. Morality evolves in society, and when we meet others, we expect them to follow those mores. This allows us to start off with a certain level of interaction, which translates to treating strangers decently instead of circling the wagons until we know if they're friend or foe. Human compassion is an instinctual thing. We identify with others like us and tend to help those we consider part of our group. It does make us feel good, and helps our society bond together in a positive way. If we help the weakest of us, it helps us as a whole.
So, blanket love for everybody is rather simplistic and meaningless. It's much more textured and varied than that. Of course, pretending that blanket love is an ideal requires less real thinking about the subject.

Every spiritual guru/Head belives in unconditional love. They dont unite. Even they have an altimate goal is same the way of approach is in defferent path direction and media have their own speed.They never be equal at that point of time.Parallel line nover meet each other it may be infine.

It is akin to saying that since all living things are born first, then they grow then they blossom then they start dying gradually ,and since these being the common factor for all of them ,then why all trees ,all humans, and all animals, do not unite to become one big tree or one big human or one big animal in that catagory?Similarly there are so many religions, teaching the same ultimate truth so why all spiritual gurus dont unite to form a big religion and one big guru?Engineering is same in all the countries why should there not be only One Engg. school or collage in this world?So the beauty lies in unity in divercityThis is the crux of the matter.

Dear Mukesh111,
If you are confident enough about the correctness of your question then I seriously advice to every Spiritual Guru / Head not to just believe in unconditional Love.
They should practise to love Unconditionally.

With only one business in the world, they all cannot flourish the way they do today. Their aim is wealth and not that divine love you speak about. They cannot unite because they all have different aims and different paths. Once they admit it, the values for them in the mind of the people are lost and they have no survival. So they openly preach love and practise their individual business.

The answer to that question should be obvious. They talk of LOVE, but clearly they don't practice it. They are not from YHVH but from the adversary--- a pagan "religion". The Almighty YHVH created this world very good. Once man sinned, he could no longer meet the requirements of YHVH. Because of His great love for man, He sent His son the Savior. The Savior's name means YHVH is my Savior!--YAHOSHUA! The only way one can have his sins taken care of is to invite the Savior in to carry them. If a person chooses to remain attached to their sins, they will be consumed in the cleansing fire the Almighty will send to cleanse this world so He can make it new! How could the Almighty be more generous?

They all agree on the oneness of God; But you cannot expect them to shed their differences in their approach to God. Man is not a automated machine to expect uniformity in his outlook and views. Bhagavat Gita, the Hindu Book of Faith, reiterates that there are different ways of reaching God. All the paths lead to the same God. Once, the diversity of man's paths to God is understood, there will be a better understanding about God and more tolerance towards other faiths.

well, how do you know they don't speak or interact with each otther?
And then they are united if we look at their message.
They stand separately because one person may respond to one Guru more and reject the other gurus speaking the same language.
I think they stand united but separate in order to give more options to ignorants like us.

Have you asked any Guru if he is one-
"All of you call me Guru" would be his reply
They all love God and the God in you - There need be no doubt at all
