Narada Bhakti Sutras - Day 8

Love cannot be expressed

• Love cannot be described or defined, cannot be expressed in words.
• Every attempt to define or describe love has failed and that is good because if it doesn't fail it is not love.
• A million words can't express what a glance can convey and a million glances cannot convey what a moment of silence can convey. But love is even beyond that moment of silence.
• Like a dump person who cannot say; one who stays in love, cannot express it. You cannot express it you can just find an expression/ a slight glance of it.
• Every single creator on this planet has love present in it. In fact love is present in every particle of this planet.
• Every vessel has same light but the light shines through transparent one only. Stress stops us from being transparent.
• Don't underestimate even a criminal; you don't know when the saint in him may awaken, when he becomes transparent.
• You get credit for honoring someone when he/she is not worth of it because honoring a wise/worthy person is no big deal.
• There are three types of love: satvik (doesn't want anything in return), rajsik (feverishness and looking for something in return) and tamsik (love for destruction) and divine love is beyond all these types.
• Divine love:
• is beyond attributes. Even for a crazy kid his mother's love will be so much.
• grows with time, it increases with every moment.
• doesn't break (beyond breakups).
• is so subtle (that cannot be expressed just can be experienced).
• without loopholes or flaws in it.
• is unconditional; so unconditional that it doesn't depend on behavior or attributes.
• Mediation is immersing in your nature which is love, so how can it be boring. If it is boring, redefine your definition of 'boredom'.
• There is a common thread in love and boredom…repetition. As in 'japa' repetition can lead to love.
• Boredom is lacking of juice and love is juice of life.
• Love is the juice of life and you are that.
• 'I love because….' is a problem and not a pure love. It is just business.
• If anybody can understand you, you haven't lived a deep life; you are living a shallow life. And shallow life is full of complaints.
• You are a mystery which cannot be understood just can be lived with.
