What makes the otherwise arduous spiritual
path enjoyable and sweet?
"To realize the Brahman through
continuous meditation on Brahman is not an enjoyable path for all to take. This
was why spiritual teachers like Ramanuja favoured the path of devotion. They
experienced themselves the bliss flowing from love of God and propagated the
love-principle as the easiest means to experience the Divine. There have been
teachers who have emphasized the Karma
Marga (the path of Action), the Jnana
Marga (the path of knowledge), and the different types of yoga or other
means to realize the Divine. But the common under-current that flows through
all of them is the path of Bhakti - the
path of Divine Love. This is accepted by all of them. Love must expand from
the individual to the whole universe. Love
is God. The universe is permeated by God. To see God in everything, to love
everything as a manifestation of God and to offer everything to God as an
offering of Love - this is the way of Love!
Winning
love through love is the vital aspect of devotion. God is Love, Live
in Love.
Be blissful’
