Summary: Real love must include God. When you love God your love will be truthful, because you cannot let anybody down in the spirit of loving God. You have to see God in everyone. You have to understand that the same Guide and Helper and Lover Who is sustaining you is also sustaining all of them. Loving God is the basic for loving others really, and that is sraddha (faith). When you believe that, you will be very enthusiastic for learning how to love Krishna. Because love for God is a process which you learn by the sadhana (spiritual practice), with the help of the guru and the sastras, they teach you how to love God, how to be the servant of the servant of God. They give you all the guidance and all the personal affection to go on and take up spiritual responsibility along the path.
