laxm_thirtha Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 Hi I would like to know the difference between Bhakti( Love for God) and love( u may call it kama or lust for a woman or man). The reason why I am asking this question is because there is a friend of mine who says that he is apparently in love with me and quotes verses about love from the Bible or other scriptures. I think these verses about love in scriptures are love or bhakti for God. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 is devotional service to the supreme lord. You quotes from the bible are, in my opinion also, directed towards love of God. The bible is not a self help book with a list of quotes about loving a man or woman, it is about God, and serving the lord in service. I would watch out for this man, seems a bit desperate to be quoting bible verses about love to you. I may be wrong, but it is just my opinion.

laxm_thirtha Posted April 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 That guy seems desperate. He knows that I am spritual. He had some wallpaper on his desktop. Just to impress me, he now has replaced it with a Vishnu wallpaper. But I am least interested in that guy and he very well knows that. But still thinks that he can get me one or the other day.

sudhaya Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 he must have high regard for you, he put out his Vishnu wallpaper for pic of you then changed back again! does shakespeare ring a bell? I suspect he loves Bible other scriptures, so he quotes from them, which when you think about it, it very good. If I were you {and female} I would be offended, tell me make his own stuff up. Get married have kids, who can recite poetry then he and you can be satisfied lol/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laxm_thirtha Posted April 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 __________ he must have high regard for you, he put out his Vishnu wallpaper for pic of you then changed back again! __________ Nope!! He had some car or other wallpaper. He later changed it to Vishnu. __________ I suspect he loves Bible other scriptures, so he quotes from them, which when you think about it, it very good. __________ Well, He is not interested in bible. He thinks that by quoting verses about love from religious books, he could change my opinion about bhakti or thinks that I would like him. __________ Tell me make his own stuff up. Get married have kids, who can recite poetry then he and you can be satisfied lol/ __________ I am sorry. I could not understand the above sentence. He said that he started liking me by dreaming abt me, what does that mean---It means he lusts for me~~~~thatz sick. Let me start reading a book on Vyasaraja Thirtha. Bye for now.

Haridham Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 He is trying to impress you. All his mundane tricks wont work on you because you are to powerful for that compare to other girls that are out there but he has no bhakti or else he woudnt do all these things. I can see his pick up line. "Hey baby, lets go to my room and read the bible" He he. When I was younger (well i am 25 now) a girl approached me when i was sitting on a book table at my temple and told me that she has read this book, and that book, and this one, and that one over there. BUt i was like uh...ok....cool. He is trying to impress you but i woudnt fall for that. Krsna is testing you. Hare Krsna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
