It requires no proofs to demonstrate the existence of the beloved to the lover.

Excerpt

When the devotee has reached this point, he is no more impelled to ask whether God can be demonstrated or not, whether He is omnipotent and omniscient or not. To him He is only the God of Love; He is the highest ideal of love, and that is sufficient for all his purposes. He, as love, is self-evident. It requires no proofs to demonstrate the existence of the beloved to the lover.

✨ To meditate on today

According to Swami Vivekananda, the one who loves God no longer needs proofs or arguments about His power: for him, God is Love itself, as evident as the beloved is to the one who loves. Today, instead of trying to prove or convince, let your love speak through a simple act: a look, some help, a tender word.
