What is the value of pure love? How can we cultivate such pure love? Bhagawan most lovingly reminds us today.

There is nothing equal to pure love in this world. Even nectar is insipid in comparison with the sweetness of love. This love makes even the Divine dance in ecstasy, as well as the devotee. It expresses itself in dance. Such pure love can find no place in the heart of self-seeking persons. It will dwell only in the hearts of the pure, the unselfish and the godly. Scriptures compare this pure love to a precious diamond. Where is this gem to be found? When even ordinary diamonds are preserved with great care in a strong safe, how much more safely should the precious diamond of love be preserved? Who is entitled to offer this diamond to others? Only the person who is filled with love and who sustains himself by love always. Only the Divine is qualified to offer such love. Only the Divine, who is the embodiment of love, knows the value of love. Hence, the greater your love for God, the greater is the bliss you experience. Your bliss declines in the measure of the diminution in your love. The extent of your love determines the magnitude of your bliss.
