This is the union of feeling and knowledge. As Krishna has so beautifully expressed it, "To those ever attached to Me, worshiping Me in love, I give that union to knowledge by which they come to Me." Such universal expression alone is valuable. Separating self from self, we place boundary marks upon knowledge and so make omniscience impossible. People speak about higher mind and completeness of mind. There can be no such completeness without love. Even if love takes that cool form called interest it is something, for without that interest there would be no knowledge. And what is interest? It is a turning and a tuning-a turning and a tuning often quite similar to the process by which one attains to any or every goal sought.
