Narada Bhakti Sutras - Day 11 (Part 2)


    Love: A Hidden Secret

    • You can hide thoughts, it is not difficult. You can hide feelings also, though it is a little more difficult from  hiding thoughts. Feelings are a little hard to hide.
    • You look in eyes and you can find out what is there. Feelings are subtler than thoughts and finer than the feelings is thought. Love is almost impossible to hide. And the more you hide the more is shows up.
    • The love that is hidden, shows up in so many ways. Your very presence ooze the love but strange thing is that you can not express it fully. So you can neither hide it nor express it.
    • Narda says: one who attains the divine love, throat chokes and the hair stands (goose bumps) and they are unable to speak properly because love can not be expressed in words; they blabber. And this blabber is not coming out of nervousness but out of the inability to express that being. This is the sign of that love.
    • You will find enough of those who blabber but fewer are those who shed tears of gratitude, out of love. They are light houses. They are the purifiers for this planets; they purify their family, society, this earth.
    • Don't think only negativity spreads; love also spreads. When you meditate you purify the whole atmosphere.
    • Such moments of gratitude are blessing for this planet; such moments are
    • Only through deep moments of gratitude you can over come the pollution due to negative emotions.
    • When you talk, sing in the glory of the divine and when tears of gratitude rolls down your cheeks that when you have lived your life. Those moments purify your family, friends the whole environment.
    • And where such people stay, they make it a pilgrimage. The place becomes divine, holly. The place by itself doesn't have any value,
    • There are two kinds of people:
      • One who get value by the things they possess
      • One who give value to the things
    • And one those who give value to the things are one who have lived the life.
    • Similarly what you say is not important but with what state of being you are saying is important. What is said is immaterial but what is said is important.
    • Even the scolding from a wise person, a devotee is invaluable and any amount of praise from wicked person has no value
    • Words, actions get the value through the speaker/actor.
    • The words that don't carry feeling along, will have very little impact and value. It is like intellectual gymnastics.
    • But four lines from Chaitanya Mahaprabhu transformed the lives. Jesus told I have come to fulfill the scripture. You life is scripture, you only have to kindle the love that you are.
    • When love ignites your life becomes scripture. You life is holly book, it is scripture and key is divine love.
    • Life is expression of inexpressible.
    • A devotee is full of HIM. Every cell is full of HIM.
    • The ancestors enjoy his company. The one who is filled with love, who shed the tears of gratitude, his ancestors enjoy. Ancestors dance in ecstasy and world finds the lord.
    • Some people say they don't have any experience when they meditate. When you meditate, for some time the portion of your practices is going to your ancestors, fore fathers. They are drawing it. It is like clearing debt. Those ancestors, that energy and angels rejoice. When you meditate just remember that you are not doing this for your self; you are doing it for this world as well as for the world is unseen. Who ever comes close to you they will feel comport, they feel secure.
    • Having such person, the world finds its mentor.
