Experience

I have been reading "Narada Bhakti Sutras". One of the "sutras" had me deeply involved in introspection. It talks about "bhakti" and the grace of God being showered through intense hate as much as intense love. There is a story in the book about hating God and every mention of God. And hate is the reverse side of love. The fact also is then, that it is directly proportionate to love. One hates only because one has also loved with equal intensity.
It is a matter of single minded emotion with a sharp focus only on this and nothing else. It is like the sharpness of the sun's rays that can burn paper. It is like complete meditation where, in a flash, one can get liberated. This is subject only to experience. Words would always fall short of the experience.
