Excerpt
Bhakti-Yoga does not say, "Give up"; it only says, "Love; love the Highest!" — and everything low naturally falls off from him, the object of whose love is the Highest.

✨ To meditate on today
According to Swami Vivekananda, Bhakti-Yoga, the path of the love of God, does not ask us to give everything up by effort: it is enough to love the Highest, and what is lower falls away by itself. Today, instead of fighting a bad habit, nourish a greater love, for a person, for beauty or for God, and notice what falls away on its own.
