Jai guru datta!

Thanks for the info!

I am a little unclear about the concept of kapata

being related to 'having motives' -- to me the direct

translation of 'kapata' means 'false' -- which implies

that there is an underlying negative motive of such

bhakti -- having a desire / purpose does not

necessarily mean that the person has 'false' bhakti

right? Or does it? I'm thinking that this relates to

'false bhakti' in the sense that a person does not

actually have 'faith' but pretends to for the sake of

name or power or whatever... not sure... if anyone can

clarify that'd be great!

anyway, thanks!

Jai Guru Datta !!! Shree Guru Datta !!!

I think Kapata connotes deception. Therefore the question remains, how can

bhakti be deceptive ? What comes to mind, is that one might be engaged in

Bhakti for display, which would fall under deceptive bhakti.

Which then brings us the question: What is nishkapata bhakti ? This would have

to be bhakti devoid of deception.

I think we need to define bhakti, though we intuitively know what it is. I think

bhakti could be defined as 'adoration'.

With this, we could say that Nishkapata Bhakti bhakti is: adoration without deception.

The love of the Gopis for Lord Krishna is a prime example.

Jai Guru Datta, Shree Guru Datta !!!Dinesh Sthanki
