How should love for the Divine be for it to result in complete union?
When a drop of water falls into the ocean, it achieves immortality and infinitude.
If you hold a drop of water in your palm, it evaporates in a few moments. But when you join it with the ocean, it becomes boundless and one with it.
Only through Love can union with the Universal be realised. To a devotee who achieves such a union with the Eternal, everything appears as Divine.
Like a fish that cannot live out of water, the devotee who is immersed in the nectarous ocean of divine love, cannot exist for a moment without love of the Divine.
He cannot relish any other thing. Every part of his body is so much filled with love of the Divine that each organ finds expression in proclaiming the glory of Him or rendering service to Him.
It is something beyond intellect and power of reason.
- Divine Discourse, Jan 19, 1986.
Your bodies have been acquired for realising Him and dedicating them for searching,
serving and sustaining the Divine.
