"Mythology"
He who loves me is made pure; his heart melts in joy. He rises to transcendental consciousness by the rousing of his higher emotional nature. Tears of joy flow from his eyes, his hair stands on end, his heart melts in love. The bliss in that state is so intense that, forgetful of himself and his surroundings, he sometimes weeps profusely, or laughs, or sings, or dances; such a devotee is a purifying influence upon the whole universe.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Srimad Bhagavatam 11.8"
If you're soft hearted, then you'll never survive in this world of sin.
-Anonymous
The more we come out and do good to others, the more our hearts will be purified, and God will be in them.
-Swami Vivekananda
