Bhakti has been the one constant theme of our sages. Apart from the

special writers on Bhakti, such as Shândilya or Narada, the great

commentators on the Vyâsa-Sutras , evidently advocates of knowledge

(Jnâna), have also something very suggestive to say about love. Even

when the commentator is anxious to explain many, if not all, of the

texts so as to make them import a sort of dry knowledge, the Sutras ,

in the chapter on worship especially, do not lend themselves to be

easily manipulated in that fashion.
