Swami Mukundananda
Should I suppress love and emotions to grow spiritually?
Turn love toward God
Love is such a deep emotion that it is natural to humans. The path of knowledge says to cancel it, but the devotee says to orient it correctly. On the path of bhakti (loving devotion), spirituality then becomes natural and spontaneous.
You don't need to deny anything. You just need to orient it correctly, and on this path of bhakti spirituality becomes natural and spontaneous.
