I'm not close to that state yet, but I remember Hawkins saying that up towards the high 500s (575ish) Ecstasy and Bliss come, and even this exquisite state must be surrendered to God in order for Peace at LOC 600 to prevail.

I forget where I read it but it is using an intemediate goal-state to move you on the path. The sate of pure unconditional love for all creatures/beings is a good place to be, once you get there that goal-state is now where you stand so looking toward next steps-goals is the way to go.
I read some of this from Nisargadatta Maharaj. Somewhere it was stated reaching the point of understanding for "I am" and desiring this state is better than not getting to that point. It can be used as an intermediate step along the process.
I am now finding written word to be woefully inadequate. I hope this was semi-coherent.
