True love can happen only between God and his Bhakta. The bhakti or divine Love of Lord Hanuman to Lord Ram, Meera who devoted every second of her life to Krishna is the biggest example of Bhakti-Yoga. Parvati loved Shiva from the day she was born. Manadevi, wife of the king of Himalayas, devotee of Shiva, wanted a daughter who would grow up to be wife of Shiva. She performed Tapasya, Pleased Gauri promised to be born as her daughter. Parvati was then born, the first word that she uttered was "Shiva". Later she undertook strict penance to win Shiva. This is true love, rare these days. This is bhakti yoga, pure spiritual devotion of love for God. Everything is but a manifestation of the divine and all else is meaningless, including the Ego. When the Bhakta is blessed by divine grace he feels an undivided union and for him "Love is God and God is Love". The bhakta longs to meet God. Nothing else attracts him. This is true love which can happen only between God and his devotee. Everything else in this world is materialistic. No friendship, no love is without hidden agenda. Ordinarily when you love someone there is some form of expectation attached and its conditional. But divine love is unconditional, no matter what the circumstances are. we become happier individuals when our love is not adulterated by expectations. And there is no guarantee that all aspects of our nature will be similar or complement the other person’s nature. The strife and trouble begins once we discover the difference. On the other hand, spiritual love is based on the unchanging soul. Bhakti Yoga is the most direct shortest way to experience the divine. All yoga and knowledge rest on the foundation stone of true faith, true devotion, true bhakti yoga. There is nothing higher than love and Bhakti Yoga is the religion of love. Draw close to Shiva and be one with him, he is the beginning, he is the end, all else is meaningless. ~ Lagan Shiva Se Laga Baithi Jo Hoga Dekha Jayega, Shiva ko Apna Bana Baithi Jo Hoga Dekha Jayega!!
