"When the heart is purified and cleansed and filled to the brim with the divine nectar of love,
all other ideas of God become simply puerile, and are rejected as being inadequate or unworthy.
Such is indeed the power of Para-Bhakti or Supreme Love; and the perfected Bhakta no more goes to see God in temples and churches;
he knows no place where he will not find Him. He finds Him in the temple as well as out of the temple;
he finds Him in the saint’s saintliness as well as in the wicked man’s wickedness, because he has Him already seated in glory in his own heart,
as the one Almighty, inextinguishable Light of Love, which is ever shining and eternally present."
- Bhakti Yoga by Vivekananda
"It is written that “Love is the law, love under will.” Herein is an Arcanum concealed, for in the Greek Language ΑΓΑΠΗ, Love, is of the same numerical value as ΘΕΛΗΜΑ, Will. By this we understand that the Universal Will is of the nature of Love.
...
Now Love is the enkindling in ecstasy of Two that will to become One. It is thus an Universal formula of High Magick. For see now how all things, being in sorrow caused by dividuality, must of necessity will Oneness as their medicine.
....
Consider that as Love is mighty to bring forth all Ecstasy, so absence of Love is the greatest craving. Whoso is balked in Love suffereth indeed, but he that hath not actively that passion in his heart towards some object is weary with the ache of craving. And this state is called mystically “Dryness.” For this there is, as I believe, no cure but patient persistence in a Rule of Life."
