Love is a link that connects, a force that attracats, a fascination

that seizes, and a clasp that grasps. Therefore, when one establishes

the relationship of devotion with the Divine, he steps up into a

realm of his own, having his own enchantment and personal experiences.

 

Again Devarshi Narada says in the next sutra (or statement).

 

The Supreme love for the Lord, called Devotion Divine, is of the

nature of Immortality. Having described the devotion as " Divine Love

for the Lord " , the teacher here adds that " it is also of the nature

of Immortality " . In utter devotion when an individual lifts all his

identifications from the realm of change into the contemplation of

the Changeless, Immutable, Lord, the constant agitations cease, and

therefore, all sense of mortality too vanishes. This constant

experience of the Changeless infinitude and the consequent equipoise

lived by a true devotee is the State-of-Immortality.

 

When you are one with the Lord, culmination of Knowledge is Devotion

and culmination of Devotion is Knowledge. If knowledge does not lead

to Devotion it is arrogance, similarly, if Devotion does not result

in knowledge, it is fanaticism or incomplete.
