Guest guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Bhakti and Social Customs Sutra 62: Na tat siddhau lokavyavaharo heyah kintu phala tyagastat sadhanancha karyameva The Bhakti is developed one must not neglect to observe social customs and ceremonies. One should surely perform them but only the fruits of all social activities are to be surrendered to the Lord. Sutra 63: Stree-dhana-nastika-vairi-charitram na sravaniyam Stories of description of women, wealth, atheists or enemy should not be listened to. Sutra 64: Abhimanadambhadikam tyajyam Egoism, hypocrisy and other vices should be given up. Sutra 65: Tadarpitakhilacharah san kamakrodhabhimanadi tasminneva karaniyam Having once dedicated all activities to God, he (the devotee) should show (if at all) his desire, anger, egoism, etc., only to Him. Sutra 66: Trirupabhangapurvakam nityadasya-nityakanta-bhajanatmakam premakaryam premaiva karyam Love and love alone such as that of a devoted servant or a wife, which transcends the three forms mentioned before (in Sutra 56) should be practised. Sutra 67: Bhakta ekantino mukhyah Those who have one-pointed devotion to God for His own sake are primary. Contd... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
