Prema (love) is the substratum of creation and quintessence of life. Love is at the beginning, love is at the middle and love is at the end of life. So love abounds totality. Life without love is like a river without water. When it contracts to personal comfort, selfish interest and sensual gratification, it is not prema but Kama (lust). But when it expands to the paradigm of world-welfare and consolidates love for the Divine, it is prema. So prema is ever expanding divine feeling without an iota of mundane desire. Therefore prema is niskama in character. Faith condenses to bhateti, bhakti condenses to bhava and bhava condenses to mahabhava or prema. Prema is immotal in this motal world. Love is the self of the Divine and the Divine is the embodiment of love.
