Swami Sankarananda says that God is inexpressible and indescribable. “He is the expression of infinite love.”
We all have love in us, of one sort or another. But it is not the same as divine love. How to recognize divine love? It can be felt when we cry for God, it can be felt when our mind is being transformed by the power of God.
Transformation of the mind is the most important but hardest task. Because we cannot control our own thoughts, we cannot transform them ourselves. But Bhagavan has that power which can exert influence over our mind, our thoughts and our tendencies. Merely by His words, wish, or touch, the meanest of the mean can become a wise and holy person. The divinity is already within us, we are all potentially divine. But Bhagavan can ignite that divinity within us, and begin the process of transformation.
