Bhakti is intense devotion and exceptional attachment to the Supreme Being. It is the thread of supreme love that binds the heart of a devotee with the lotus feet of the Supreme Being. It is pure, unselfish, divine love. There is not the slightest of bargaining or expectation of anything here. It is a pure emotion with sublime sentiments that unites the devotees with the Supreme Being.<ref>Swami Sivananda Saraswati (1937), [https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.217437/page/n45/mode/2up Practice of Bhakti Yoga], Amritsar: Editor, Ideal Home Magazine.</ref>
