As
there is a state of Supreme Self-knowledge, likewise is there a state of
perfection at the zenith of the path of love. There one finds the nectar of
Perfect Love identical with Supreme Knowledge. In this state there is no room
for emotional excitement; indeed, that would make it impossible for Supreme
Love (Mahabhava) to shine forth. Be mindful of one thing: if,
when following a particular line of approach, one does not attain to that which
is the consummation of all sadhana, namely the final Goal, it
means that one has not really entered that line.
At
the supreme summit of Love, - which is Mahabhava - exuberance,
excessive emotion and the like cannot possibly occur. Emotional excitement and
Supreme Love are in no wise to be compared: they are totally different from one
another.
