The yogi can relate to his Beloved in the form of a personal relationship-as a friend, a child, a spouse. He can cherish God in traditional religious performances—honoring saints, holy sites, and scriptures. He can hold God dear in the form of union–as his own Self, or in samadhi. All forms of God are equally suitable for love. (165) Prem Prakash
