Let g be a Kac-Moody algebra with a symmetrizable Cartan matrix, and let $\{u_j\}$ and $\{u^j\}$ be bases of g dual with respect to a nondegenerate invariant bilinear form $(\cdot|\cdot)$ on g, and consistent with the triangular decomposition of g. Let $L(\Lambda)$ be an integrable representation of g with highest weight $\Lambda$, and let $v_\Lambda$ be its highest weight vector. Denote the Casimir $\Omega=\sum_j u_j\otimes u^j$.

I want to know why $\Omega(v_\Lambda\otimes v_\Lambda)=(\Lambda|\Lambda)v_\Lambda\otimes v_\Lambda$? Could someone give some explanation or some references?
