Guest guest Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Dear member, Adiyane requests you to be patient please and follow the thread to its completion. The series is not over yet. Your comments and observations would be most welcome then. Regards, dAsan, Sudarshan MK --- Sukumar S C <sukumar wrote: Namaste! "maRRai nam kaamangaL maaRRu" (PART 7) >The conquest of "kaama" has been recognized by Vedanta >to be one of the fundamental problems of life >encountered by Man. Swamy, It would be helpful if you could dwell more on this aspect 'kama'. The above sentence puts the word 'kama' as the one which is to be best avoided/conquered. On the other hand, going by VSN in which Vishnu is eulogised as "kaamadevah kaamapaalah kaamee kaantah kritaagamah", and specifically, kaamadevah denotes - On one whom a seeker must necessarily get charmed; One on whom seekers have captivating love, we get a positive meaning of word - kama. Thus 'kaama' if taken positively and by gleaning the meaning from the perspective of Lord makes it a significant aspect in a sadhaka's life. I read that 'kaama' is the first-born emotion Lord when Lord willed to create and out came the beautiful lotus and from there Svayambu born. Thus it is said everything - either loukika or aloukika is driven by 'kama'. Gopis of Brindavana are driven by 'kama' which is satvik and aimed at Lord. May be you can highlight these aspects(even though these may out of subject here) too across - kaama; satvika krodha; satvika ahankara; moha on krishna etc., What I think is these negative traits what we experience in our material life have entirely opposite meanings when we dwell on it spiritually.
