"Narada Bhakti Sutra - 03 / 10" Talk in English by Swami Aparajitananda, Chinmaya Mission Mangaluru.

Hari Om!
Continuing the thought flow of the previous talk, Swami Aparajitananda ji elaborates on how divine love is different from worldly love. Going further, he makes some thought provoking observations and explains with the help of varied and amazing examples from Bhagavatam, Mahabharata, Ramayana and general life that befit this 'vishvatomukham' text.
Some food for thought -
• Do you love the creation or the Creator?
• The whole process of spirituality is to shift attention (priority) from world to God.
• Love for God and dispassion towards the world are necessary for fixing the mind on the Self.
• Sign of supreme devotion is a contented desirelessness. This needs to be practised. Technique for this is discussed in the talk.
Topics covered in today's talk include:
• What is Nirodha?
• What is Ananyatā? What is āshraya?
• What is Udāsinatā?
• Special instructions to seekers
• Scriptures and devotion - correct understanding a must. Result of incorrect understanding
• Giving priority to devotion (devotion is the highest goal in life)
• Litmus test to determine whether an activity should be undertaken or not
• How long to fulfill duties in the world or when to renounce the world?
This talk demonstrates how interesting a sutra or bhakti literature can be.

Tomorrow - How devotion expresses itself once it arises in the mind?
