Swami Sivananda describes love as Sara Vastu (true substance) in this world.

It is eternal, infinite and undecaying. Feel that all beings are images of God. Feel that your body is a moving temple of God. Whatever activity you are performing, it is an offering. Become a witness and you will enjoy the highest peace and bliss.

The quest for love changes us. There is no seeker among those who search for love, who has not matured on the way. The moment you start looking for love you start to change within and without. – Shams Tabrizi

When we look at both sayings, what is clear is that love changes one and it is an ultimate purifier.
