The affection between the Lord and the living entities is something like that between the male and the female; therefore the term love of Godhead is quite appropriate
Srimad-Bhagavatam
SB Canto 1
The affection between the Lord and the living entities is something like that between the male and the female. Therefore the term love of Godhead is quite appropriate.
SB 1.7.7, Purport: The ultimate result of devotional service is to develop genuine love for the Supreme Personality. Love is a word which is often used in relation with man and woman. And love is the only word that can be properly used to indicate the relation between Lord Kṛṣṇa and the living entities. The living entities are mentioned as prakṛti in the Bhagavad-gītā, and in Sanskrit prakṛti is a feminine object. The Lord is always described as the parama-puruṣa, or the supreme male personality. Thus the affection between the Lord and the living entities is something like that between the male and the female. Therefore the term love of Godhead is quite appropriate.
