Types of Love to God

There are two paths of love as clearly seen in the family life itself
Love to wife is emotional and relates to the level of mental plane
This may vary towards other lady or subside fully in the old age
It may be divorced and it always exists for selfish happiness only.

Similarly Love to God in several cases is only emotion of mind
It may vary to other form and subside in absence of any boon
One may leave the God if He does not grant the desired result
Such love is only to achieve the selfish happiness and is untrue.

The other path of Love is on the children which is always fixed
It belongs to the plane of intelligence that grants final decision
It is never based on the aspiration of any happiness or any fruit
It is full of reality and does not change at the cost of even insult.

In the first path the sacrifice of work and its fruit exist temporarily
Since selfishness exists such sacrifice is not real but apparent only
In the second path the same sacrifice is without any selfishness
It is true love; test the path of your divine love between these two.
