Srishti, sthiti and laya are the three forms of Divine Will; you have to penetrate the inner meaning of Srishti, by means of Karma yoga; you have to grasp the significance of sthiti, by means of Bhakti yoga and when you master the Jnana yoga, you arrive at the experience of laya, of manifoldness is the One. Bhakti makes you aware of the Lord who sustains and supports every being; it is prema, which is nitya, satya and nirmala; that is to say, love which is unchanging, sincere and pure. There is no one who is devoid of bhakti, deep down in his core, everyone has the feeling of kinship with all creatures. It is that makes a lonely man miserable, that makes everyone liable to someone or other. If you have no love, you are like a lamp without flame, blind and blinding. Love of the pure type is unmixed with hate, untampered by greed. (SSS Vol.4, p.97)
