Namaste Nurcarnation,

Amrta-swarupa ca Verse 3

Amrta –swarupa (nature of immortality) ca (also)

This (bhakthi) is also of the nature of immortality

By using the word ca which means "also" the sage have intertwined both the

second definition with the first .Thus now both verse must be read together to

further define what is meant by bhakthi .Remember , earlier it was mentioned as

prema swarupa and now it means amrta swarupa also .

Thus the nature of true devotion is one of immortality. In others words the

nature of true devotion or supreme love to God is forever. This is where it

distinguishes itself from ordinary love which would not continue

uninterruptedly. Now what is the difference here with material love ;

In material love person who is experiencing love and person loved are limited.

Thus it ends with this person – interrupted flow

It is bound by temporary things ,limited by time ,circumstances, expectation and

object towards which loves flows- interrupted flow

The verse says "nature of" bhakthi but did not say bhakthi " is " supreme

immortal love towards Him .What this means is that material love and devotion

looks the same but not the same which means - is not exactly that but similar

to that .

So be careful of what you see and do .You might see the Master doing something.

Please do not try to do it without his prior instruction. Today a lot of

spiritual aspirant sees the sages and saints doing something and tries to

imitate them. If they see a sage crying they try to cry as well. If they see

the saint offering blood they offer blood as well without understanding the

internal reason for Him to do so nor obtaining his instruction to do so .Let me

share a story to illustrate this point to you ;

A sage was on top of mountain meditating and because of the interruption of the

wild animals nearby his meditation hut, he bought a dog to stand guard and

without unobstructed meditation now he attained enlightenment and left his body

.. The next day the entire villagers near by the market went to the dog seller

and bought dog each for their meditation because they taught it is necessary

for realization as the sage did so. They did not ask the sage (as he is not

alive now) nor assessed their level of spiritual competency for the requirement

nor consulted proper guru. (Actually as they stayed in the village together they

did not need a dog as no wild animal will come to the village below the mountain

!!!!!! In fact because there was so many dogs in their vicinity of the houses

there was so much barking all through the day)

This is called blind following. Another factor that need to be assessed is your

level of competency a consideration that only a guru can make . Listen to this

story; a sage went asking alms to devotee in a village and because of his

spiritual greatness the devotees from all the houses started offering fruit

juices and also herbal drink to him . The disciples who came with him felt

irritated because the devotee after serving their master only served plain

water to them . They wondered what is the difference as they also felt as

thirsty as their master . Furthermore they taught why does a spiritual master

of that level need to be treated differently. Aren’t he suppose to be not

attached and could be treated just the same . The Master understood what was in

their heart. Just than they reached a cobbler house and the cobbler had nothing

to offer . The Master said offer whatever that makes you happy to give my child

and the cobbler offered the hot iron liquid and the Master drank them happily .

That is when the disciple became glad they were not offered what was offered to

their Master as well. Thus the competency level in spiritually also must be

considered before imitating the great sages (are we in same level with the

great sage in spiritual practice ). Don’t imitate their ways but follow their

teachings ………

Thus in Bhakthi it might look that you understand what the sage feel (the love )

but remember it is only of the nature of supreme love . If you want to

experience the same nature you got to practice the spiritual practice for it
