I absolutely agree that discipline is a piece of the whole puzzle of unconditional love. Children want limits, they need them to feel safe.
In my opinion unconditional love is just that, no matter what you do, I'll love you anyway. I may not approve of your behavior at this time, but I still love you.
Discipline in our home always begins with "I love you more than you can imagine, do NOT do _____ again. You are better than that."
