Divine Love is the Love of the Divine, the Love that the Divine sends in this creation to heal and transform it.
Bhakti is love for the Divine, the love that some human beings feel in response to the touch of the Divine Love.
Divine Love is very powerful, the most powerful Divine Force as it removes everything, including the human ego that stands in the way of the human soul and the Divine. It is the intense love that is embodied by Mahakali. Human beings cannot bear it unless human nature is prepared by the psychic being. Without the true soul, the psychic being governing the nature, if we seek the Divine Love through vital Bhakti (jumping, dancing, weeping, excitement, singing in the name of bhakti) we end up only becoming a tool of the vital forces instead of finding Divine Love.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
