Changes

The Divine Love is the essence of Truth and cannot be affected by human confusions. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/divine-love#p13</ref>

Divine Love is not an emotion,—a very different thing to say. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/divine-love-psychic-love-and-human-love#p39</ref>

...there is in the highest or deepest kind of love the psychic element, which comes from the innermost heart and soul, a kind of inner union or self-giving or at least a seeking for that, a tie or an urge independent of other conditions or elements, existing for its own sake and not for any mental, vital or physical pleasure, satisfaction, interest or habit.

<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/divine-love-psychic-love-and-human-love#p28</ref>

Divine Love, in my view of it, is again not something ethereal, cold and far, but a love absolutely intense, intimate and full of unity, closeness and rapture using all the nature for its expression. Certainly, it is without the confusions and disorders of the present lower vital nature which it will change into something entirely warm, deep and intense; but that is no reason for supposing that it will lose anything that is true and happy in the elements of love.

Love cannot be cold—for there is no such thing as cold love, but the love of which the Mother speaks in that passage is something very pure, fixed and constant; it does not leap like fire and sink for want of fuel, but is steady and all-embracing and self-existent like the light of the sun.

There is also a divine love that is personal, but it is not like the ordinary personal human love dependent on any return from the person—it is personal but not egoistic,—it goes from the real being in the one to the real being in the other. But to find that, liberation from the ordinary human way of approach is necessary. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/divine-love-psychic-love-and-human-love#p37</ref>

When the love goes towards the Divine, there is still this ordinary human element in it. There is the call for a return and if the return does not seem to come, the love may sink; there is the self-interest, the demand for the Divine as a giver of all that the human being wants and, if the demands are not acceded to, abhimana against the Divine, loss of faith, loss of fervour. Etc. etc. But the true love for the Divine is in its fundamental nature not of this kind, but psychic and spiritual. The psychic element is the need of the inmost being for self-giving, love, adoration, union which can only be fully satisfied by the Divine. The spiritual element is the need of the being for contact, merging, union with its own highest and whole self and source of being and consciousness and bliss, the Divine. These two are two sides of the same thing. The mind, vital, physical can be the supports and recipients of this love, but they can be fully that only when they become remoulded into harmony with the psychic and spiritual elements of the being and no longer bring in the lower insistences of the ego. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/divine-love-psychic-love-and-human-love#p29</ref>

Krishna with Radha is the symbol of the Divine Love. The flute is the call of the Divine Love; the peacock is victory. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/gods-goddesses-and-semi-divine-beings#p13</ref>

When you reach the contact with the Divine's love you see this love in everything and all circumstances.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/divine-love#p3</ref>

The Divine has an equal love for all human beings, but the obscurity of consciousness of most men prevents them from perceiving this divine love. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/divine-love#p30</ref>

To love truly the Divine, we must rise above attachments. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/love-for-the-divine#p24</ref>

Divine Love can overcome the evil and cruel―the tiger does not attack the yogi. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/general-1#p7</ref>

With the Divine's Love is the power of Transformation. It has this power because it is for the sake of Transformation that it has given itself to the world and manifested everywhere. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/15/transformation#p31</ref>

If the spirit of divine love can enter, the hardness of the way diminishes, the tension is lightened, there is a sweetness and joy even in the core of difficulty and struggle. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/08/8-august-1956#p10</ref>

There is only one true love—it is the Divine Love; all other loves are diminutions, limitations and deformations of that Love. Even the love of the bhakta for his God is a diminution and often is tainted by egoism. But as one tends quite naturally to become like what one loves, the bhakta, if he is sincere, begins to become like the Divine whom he adores, and thus his love becomes purer and purer.

As supramental Truth is not merely a sublimation of our mental ideas, so Divine Love is not merely a sublimation of human emotions; it is a different consciousness, with a different quality, movement and substance. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/divine-love-psychic-love-and-human-love#p40</ref>

The Divine's love is that which comes from above poured down from the Divine Oneness and its Ananda on the being—psychic love is a form taken by divine love in the human being according to the needs and possibilities of the human consciousness. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/divine-love-psychic-love-and-human-love#p11</ref>

Divine love is of two kinds—the Divine love for the creation and the souls that are part of itself and the love of the seeker and love for the Divine Beloved; it has both a personal and impersonal element, but the personal is free here from all lower elements or bondage to the vital and physical instincts. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/divine-love-psychic-love-and-human-love#p44</ref>

The true love for the Divine is self-giving, free of demand, full of submission and surrender. It makes no claim, imposes no condition, strikes no bargain, indulges in no violence of jealousy or pride or anger―for these things are not in its composition. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/love-for-the-divine#p20</ref>

The true love for the Divine is a self-giving, free of demand, full of submission and surrender; it makes no claim, imposes no condition, strikes no bargain, indulges in no violences of jealousy or pride or anger—for these things are not in its composition. In return the Divine Mother also gives herself, but freely—and this represents itself in an inner giving—her presence in your mind, your vital, your physical consciousness, her power re-creating you in the divine nature, taking up all the movements of your being and directing them towards perfection and fulfilment, her love enveloping you and carrying you in its arms Godwards. It is this that you must aspire to feel and possess in all your parts down to the very material, and here there is no limitation either of time or of completeness. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/divine-love-psychic-love-and-human-love#p24</ref>

True love is something very deep and calm in its intensity; it may quite well not manifest itself in any exterior acts sensational or affectionate. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/divine-love-and-human-love#p64</ref>

A psychic love towards all is also emerging; this love is a thing inward and does not seek to express itself outwardly like the vital love which men usually have. The psychic and spiritual attitude is also not dependent on the good and bad in beings, but is self-existent regarding them as souls who carry the Divine in them however thickly concealed and are children of the Mother.

<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/the-emergence-or-coming-forward-of-the-psychic#p14</ref>

Psychic love can have a warmth and a flame as intense and more intense than the vital, only it is a pure fire, not dependent on the satisfaction of ego-desire or on the eating up of the fuel it embraces. It is a white flame, not a red one; but white heat is not inferior to the red variety in its ardour. It is true that the psychic love does not usually get its full play in human relations and human nature, it finds the fullness of its fire and ecstasy more easily when it is lifted towards the Divine.

When there is no demand or desire, only love and self-giving, that is the psychic love.

<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/divine-love-psychic-love-and-human-love#p14</ref>

Psychic love is quite satisfying, and it can change even the vital love into something great and beautiful.

And the supreme Love is a love without any definite object―the love which loves because it cannot do other than to love.

<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/divine-love-and-human-love#p52</ref>

This was the supreme love, to accept the loss of the perfect condition of supreme divinity, its absolute consciousness, its infinite knowledge, to unite with unconsciousness, to dwell in the world with ignorance and darkness. And yet none perhaps would call it love; for it does not clothe itself in a superficial sentiment, it makes no demand in exchange for what it has done, no show of its sacrifice. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/2-june-1929#p6</ref>

===Supramental Love===

The supramental love means an intense unity of soul with soul, mind with mind, life with life, and an entire flooding of the body consciousness with the physical experience of oneness, the presence of the Beloved in every part, in every cell of the body.

To manifest the Divine love, you must be capable of receiving the Divine love. The wider and clearer the opening in them, the more they manifest love divine in its original purity; the more it is mixed with the lower human feelings, the greater the deformation. The division, the distinction between the two that you make in the beginning are a creation of the mind: once you rise to a higher level, they disappear. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/2-june-1929#p4</ref>

The Divine Love, unlike humans, is deep and vast and silent; one must become quiet and wide to be aware of it and reply to it… To give oneself is the secret of sadhana, not to demand and acquire. The more one gives oneself, the more the power to receive will grow. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/divine-love-psychic-love-and-human-love#p38</ref>

On the physical plane the Divine expresses himself through beauty, on the mental plane through knowledge, on the vital plane through power and on the psychic plane through love. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/15/the-divine-working-in-the-universe#p6</ref>

It [the Divine Love] exists in itself and does not depend on outer contact or outer expression. Whether it shall express itself outwardly or how it will express itself outwardly depends on the spiritual truth that has to be manifested.

<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/divine-love-psychic-love-and-human-love#p6</ref>

There is one divine Love secret in all things, but the manifestation [of it in matter and in forms of life] depends upon the state of consciousness and its organisation. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/divine-love-psychic-love-and-human-love#p7</ref>
