Attachment and affection lead to confusion. Love for God leads to Self Realisation.

From the book Principle of Becoming God

When our feelings are turned towards God, they become Truth. When they are turned towards the world, it is untruth.
In the beggining of sadhana, seeing the world as Maya, one should turn within. After attaining the vision of God, he should see the entire world as God.
Wisdom is incomplete if it has not been put into practice.
