It's the "non different" that confuses the sentence. "A pure devotee's pleasure is based on, and wholly infused with, an intrinsic attitude of service to his worshipable Lord." I'm not sure where the "non different" comes in.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither required nor preferable. Just wrong. >It's the "non different" that confuses the sentence. Doesn't confuse me. Of course, it's a little puzzling to say a pure devotee's pleasure is nondifferent from an intrinsic attitude of service to his Lord, but "nondifferent" itself immediately puts us in the realm of the inconceivable, as in acintya-bhedabheda-tattva. Grammatically, the whole sentence works fine without the final comma, as far as I can tell. dd >"A pure devotee's pleasure is based on, and wholly infused with, an >intrinsic attitude of service to his worshipable Lord." > >I'm not sure where the "non different" comes in.... > > > >-- > > >Version: 7.1.405 / Virus Database: 268.11.6/428 - Release 8/25/2006 -- Version: 7.1.405 / Virus Database: 268.11.6/428 - Release 8/25/2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
