The very essence of the Vedas is to love God .
We are loving so many persons and creatures, so why not God ?
Before loving someone, one must know who they are and what qualities they possess.
In God’s case, we must know who He is and why He does what He does , both directly and indirectly and how he is all good .
Learn to love is an expression we are familiar with . In learning to love someone else, one needs the help of a friend of the person . The unfriendly , speculative, or envious who has attitudes or misunderstandings towards the person we are trying to love can not possibly help us .
If you learn to love God’s devotees they can give access to God in His most complete form , beyond the administrative form , beyond formalities , but rather bring us to a spontaneous heartfelt relationship with Divinity , similar to what you have with your children, your partner, your friend or your lover .
The essence of spirituality is relationship with spontaneous love, which is ever new and inceasing in attraction with ones original spiritual form , not the covering made of atoms , elements, and compounds with a flickering mind and unsteady intelligence
Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu appeared in the Gaudia Vaisnava sampradaya to teach this the essence of the Vedas and its essential asset.
