The Fruit of Love Is Love Itself
Narada teaches that the final fruit of the path of devotion is not some separate reward but the perfection and permanence of love.
When devotion ripens to its fullness, its fruit is simply love made perfect, eternal, and unbroken — the devotee abides forever in the love they sought (Narada Bhakti Sutra 80-81). Narada returns at the path's end to where he began: love is both the means and the goal, the seed and the harvest. There is no further attainment beyond this, for to love God perfectly and to be eternally established in that love is itself the highest fulfillment of existence. This circularity is the deepest teaching of the bhakti path. The lover does not love in order to gain something else; the loving is the gain. In the end, the soul is given not a reward for love, but love without end.
Attaining this, one attains everything; there remains nothing more to be attained.
The vision of love as both path and goal anticipates the Christian mystical claim that 'God is love' and that the soul's final beatitude is an eternal participation in that love, rather than a possession distinct from it.
