The Lover's Life - 10b

[Guest guest]

In worldly matters, complication can arise from

anywhere. Dilemmas can occur because of something that is

desired, but not received. The mayic possibilities are

endless. Whatever the case, the true lover will not direct

negative emotion towards any sentient being. She knows it

is disruptive to not only the Hari relationship, but

to Hari's lila-creation as well. <br>As the lover's

relationship deepens, the way she relates to people in her

world changes. In the divine process, sometimes people

who are not sensitive to the transformation become

jealous. They are not seeing the process. Even if they

aggressively confront the lover, she withstands the attacks

and keeps her attention upon the Beloved.

<br><br>Conflict can come from the work place, from employees or

employer, conflict can arise from circumstances where

wealth is distributed. Even if the aggression is without

cause and clearly contrary to the higher sensitivities

of dharma, the lover will not lower herself to

engage at the level her aggressors. She understands the

protective aura of the Beloved and endures. This ability to

withstand all situations extends to relationships with

associates of her Beloved who because of some negligence or

personal <br>trait, turn upon the their fellow lover.

Still, she does not falter in her Hari position.

<br><br>When everything is seen as a play of karma that is

working itself out for a higher cause, the lover is able

to refrain from anger even while withstanding the

force of suffering. Devotional fortitude is what allows

the lover this ability. Hari's perfect connection to

all things is her focus. She sees Him just before

her, as well as to both sides. In that blessed state,

she employs her devotional perspectives to avoid and

transform all negativities. The illumination of the

Beloved's presence is her protective shield. <br><br>This

was kindly translated by Shyamdas ('The Lover's

Life'). <br><br><br>Jaya Sri Radhey!
