Guest guest Posted April 15, 2002 Report Share Posted April 15, 2002 Narada Bhakti Sutras - 11 Chapter 4 (Sloka 4 - 8) 4. Beyond all qualities, all desires, ever increasing, unbroken, the finest perception is love. 5. When a man gets this love, he sees love everywhere, he hears love everywhere, he talks love everywhere, he thiks love everywhere. 6. According to the qualities or conditions, this love manifests itself differently. 7. The qualities are: Tamas (dullness, heaviness), Rajas (restlessness, activity), Sattva (serenity, purity); and the conditions are: Aarta (afflicted), Arthaarthi (wanting something), Jijnaasu (searching truth), Jnaani (knower). 8. Of these the latter are higher than the preceding ones. - From a free translation dictated by Swami Vivekananda in America, found in Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda, Volume 6, page 150-154 published by Advaita Ashrama (http://www.advaitaonline.com/) -- --------------- Email: gokulmuthu Webpage: http://www.geocities.com/gokulmuthu/ Phone: +91 80 6689904, 6689938, 6780026-9 +91 80 2384190-3 Ext. 227 Res: +91 80 6594834 +91 44 8140104 --------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
