It is good to love and adore God with a view to gain some valuable fruit either here or hereafter, but since there is nothing more valuable than God, the Vedas advise us to love God with no touch of desire in our minds. Love for love’s sake; love God, since whatever He can give is less than He Himself; love Him alone, with no other wish or demand. Once Draupadi asked Dharmaraja while in exile, “Lord! You are undoubtedly the best amongst those who follow dharmaunwaveringly; how did such a terrible calamity happen to you?” She was stricken with sorrow. Dharmaja replied, “Look at this Himalayan range. How magnificent, glorious, beautiful and sublime it is! It is so splendid a phenomenon that I love it without limit. It will not grant me anything, but it is my nature to love the beautiful and the sublime. The embodiment of this sublime beauty is God. He is the only entity that is worth loving. This is why I am loving Him. I will not wish for any favour from Him. I will not pray for any boon. Let Him keep me where He loves to keep me. The highest reward for my love is His love, Draupadi!”
