love love love

Q:

Assalamu Alaykum,
In class we discussed Imam Al-Ghazali’s definition of “love.” One of the definition’s included loving something because of what it offers in the hereafter or loving something based on a ‘condition’ or a personal agenda. My question is: 1) When we think of Jannah and the love of Allah, do we only love Allah based on going to Jannah(which is a condition) and 2) how do we make it so the ultimate goal is the love of Allah itself? 3) How do we increase our love and God-consciousness?

JazakAllah and may Allah reward you, this has got me really reflecting!
