Embodiments of Love!
आत्मरत्य विरोधेन इति शाण्डिल्यः
ātma-raty-avirodheneti śāṇḍilyaḥ
word by word meaning:
atma=individual self/one’s self
rati=of pleasure
avirodhena=by freedom from obstruction
iti=so
Meaning:
According to Sandilya reveling /rejoicing in one’s self without discrimination/conflict (is bhakti or divine Love)
My interpretation
Paul Brunton beautifully explains this process
Seek the centre of inner gravity and try to stay in it. Try to avoid being pulled out of it by emotions and passions, whether your own or other people's, by anxieties and troubles--in short, by the ego.
He who lives in the higher levels of his being comes into a beautiful serenity as part of his reward. This is a pointer to us. By consciously cultivating such serenity, we prepare the way for entry into such a level.
In the end and after many an experience, he will come to see that :
peace must take the place of passion,
truth must banish falsity,
and
reality must come through the illusion which covers it.
See you in the next episode
With lots of love
