To enable us to earn the grace of the Lord, there are so many different paths. The paths of wisdom (jnana), action (karma), and yoga are more difficult than the path of devotion (Bhakti). Devotion will help us reach God, be close to God, and understand the Lord and His miracles. Amongst all the other paths, the shortest and easiest path is the path of love. God is an embodiment of love. To reach God and to understand His divinity, the path of love is the best approach. Divine love (prema) is not something which is fixed either on an individual, or a community, or a specific object. It is very wide, selfless and ever expanding. It is only when we broaden our love using these principles, we will be able to understand and experience the sacred divine love from God.
