You see, there is one thing called love, and there is another thing called union. And union is greater than love.
I do not love religion. I have become identified with it.
It is my life. So no man loves that thing in which his life has been spent, in which he really has accomplished something.
That which we love is not yet ourself. Your husband did not love music for which he had always stood. He loved engineering in which as yet he knew comparatively little.
This is the difference between Bhakti and Jnana; and this is why Jnana is greater than Bhakti.
