Vaishnav devotees consider works like Gita Govindam as symbolic representations of Bhakti marga that emphasizes divine longing. In Narada Bhakti Sutra, bhakti is defined as the ultimate love (sa parama premarupa). In the path of bhakti the devotee starts with relative love to reach the state of transcendental love or absolute love. In the ultimate state the devotee becomes love. As Sant Kabir Says: प्रेम गली अति सांकरी, जा में दो न समाय The lane of love is so narrow that it cannot accommodate two.
