In Sanskrit bhakti itself means that which is common between you and the infinite space. That which is there in you, as well as in the Divine; that which you share with the Divine, that which shines is bhakti.
If you ask yourself a straight question, “What is it that you want in your life?” It will boil down to one thing and that is love. Behind every desire there is love, isn’t it? Yet, life cannot move an inch without love; life has sprung from love, moves in love, and its culmination is also love.
Yet we see that life is full of problems. Sometimes if there is no love, then life seems to be better because then there are no problems. Love comes with this tail called problems. If you love objects more, then that becomes greed. If you love people more, it is entanglement. If you love yourself too much, that is ego-centrism, arrogance. If you love someone too much, then jealousy comes behind that. Whether jealousy, greed, lust or anger, there is love present underneath.
Love, when it ferments, becomes hatred. Love, when it gets distorted, becomes fear.
