The means to divine love

Love and pain are twins.
Birth begins with pain; only after pain there comes the second experience, i.e. of love.
Logic doesn't know the melody or rhythm and many times logic is misleading.
Heart knows melody and never misleads.
The means to divine love are effortless and melodious.
First mean: first mean is to go inwards

Therefore to surrender we need to come inside.

Senses have limited capacity but desires are unlimited. So knowing or being aware of that all senses have limited capacity to consume/enjoy, will help you return to the center.
Feverishness can't let you being what you are i.e. love. So what to do to avoid feverishness: retire from outside i.e. from things, from people and come 'inwards'. Withdraw attention from outer world & be silent. Take a step back and watch your senses. While doing something: consciously do and watch the actions.
To open the inside lid, you need to close yourself from outside.
Second mean: uninterrupted bhajan ('bhajan' here means to share - to share what divine is). Uninterrupted sharing, uninterrupted connection.
Complete sharing: don’t keep any corner away from divinity otherwise that part may become the reason of fall. Therefore, share everything with divinity and let divinity permeate to every corner of yourself.
Third mean: seeing sacred in all the actions and objects
In your day today activities see that you are doing this for divine.
Appreciate and honour everything - animate or inanimate. Just honour & appreciate. This is 'puja'.
You can be blunt but that need not to be from bitter feelings; that has to be just for particular purpose or person out of love.
Praising positive qualities in others uplift yourself; uplift the same quality in you.
How can someone who knows everything i.e. God, will test you?
Pray to God:

Less evolved people indulge in fault picking. When you indulge in fault finding, you disconnect from God.
