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. Pls comment.

sukumar
