Highest and Greatest Relation

 

But the highest and the greatest relation is that which starts from

none of the ordinary religious motives, but is rather of the very

essence of Yoga, springs from the very nature of love itself; it is

the passion of the Lover and the Beloved. Wherever thre is the desire

of the soul for its utter union with God, this form of the divine

yearning makes its way even into religions which seem to do without it

and give it no place in their ordinary system. Here the one thing

asked for is love, the one thing feared is the loss of love, the one

sorrow is the sorrow of separation of lover; for all other things

either do not exist for the lover or come in only as incidents or as

results and not as objects or conditions of love.
