Pragmatic Bhakti Sutra, Shlokas 7 to 9


Listen Later

We continue our journey through the aphorisms of divine love as documented in the Narada Bhakti Sutra. I request you to listen to the previous episode (Episode 2), if you have not already done so.

Joining us today in this episode are Kalpana Mata Ji, Maanas Prabhu and Aayush Prabhu.

In this episode, we will cover shlokas 7 to 9. Some of the key questions that these shlokas help answer are given below. Hope you find  your own questions answered here. If you like this podcast please share with your friends and family members. Let us all grow on the spiritual path and obtain the divine grace of God.

Why do desires become stronger the more times you fulfill them and why do desires give rise to more desires?

If desire is the enemy of peace and devotion, what if someone desires peace and devotion?

If divine grace is not possible for someone with desires and ego, does that mean that God does not grace someone with his help if the person has these desires and ego?

I really liked the point raised regarding not tying our loyalty to God or our Guru based on them fulfilling our desires. How does this apply to relationships to other human beings, be they family or friends? And how does this change when applied to say a corporate environment, where networking is done solely on a need basis?

When Naren prays for detachment, devotion, and knowledge, isn't that desire? Why can't he work for these himself, without asking God to give him these things?

What is the difference between Asakti (attachment) and Kamana (longing), and how can one exist without the other?

Following up on the previous question, what is the difference between attraction towards external objects and internal craving?

How can we love God unconditionally and have a one-pointed focus and faith in him, in relation to human beings?

How can we make the world a better place without focusing on the faults or being judgemental?
