Guest guest Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 LOVE As soon as attraction for the world is completely gone, divine love for God arises naturally. If you get to know the World, you will develop detachment; and if you get to know the God, then you will develop love for Him. One whose realization is a certainty, love Him (God); and one whose separation is inevitable (World), serve it. Love is where there is not even a whiff of desire for one's own happiness and selfishness. The thing that is ours, it appears ever sweet to us. So, in believing God as our very own, our one and only, love for God naturally blossoms. There is no greater worship than loving God. As long as a spiritual aspirant wants to carry out his own wishes, till then, he will neither develop love for God with attributes, nor God without attributes. With austerities one gains power and strength, but not love. Love arises from the feeling of oneness with God i.e. from treating God as one's very own. Devotion is when there is immense attraction and pull towards God. Devotion for God is never completed. It increasingly grows with each passing day. For God's love, a firm feeling of " my-ness " , a feeling of my very own is essential. Also a deep longing for His sight (darshan) is required.
