Narada Bhakti Sutram 23 and 24—Love Vs Lust



Embodiments of Love!




Love failure 1, love failure 2, love failure 3……..?
Read it as  “Lust failure 1, Lust failure 2, Lust failure 3, so on and so forth!

Many of us would have loved many girls/boys from adolescent stage and continue to behave like adolescents and lust many girls/boys, till Death calls it a day!

There are a few who just bluff that they never loved any girl/boy in their life…
…it is another disease; it is out of scope of this subject matter!
Narada has made a beautiful alliteration of Love and lust!

Let us juxtapose Love and Lust, the way Narada does.


Text for sutram 23 and 24


तद्विहिनं जारानामिव​…..23
नात्येव तस्मिम्स्तत्सुखमुखित्वम्……24


Transliteration for sutrams 23 and 24


nāsty eva tasmiḿs tat-sukha-sukhitvam---24


Word by word meaning

Sutram-23

tat — of it (awareness of the Lord's greatness);
vihīnam — devoid;
jārāṇām — of couples indulging in illicit love;
iva — like.

Sutram-24

na — (there is) not;
asti—is
eva —surely/ indeed;
tasminin it(in that profane love) ;
tat — His;
sukhain the happiness;
sukhitvam — finding happiness.
(tat suka sukitwam means happiness in the happiness given to another

Simple meaning for 23 and 24

Love without the knowledge of His true nature is like the illicit love for the paramour…23

In the profane love for the paramour, the sense of happiness in the happiness-given-to-another does not exist at all….24



My Explanations

Very simple; let us draw a few basic differences between Love AND Lust!

Love is the LEGAL TENDER;
Lust is the COUNTERFEIT!

Love creates;
Lust destroys!

Love is the Victory of the soul;
Lust is the condemned cry of the lower mind!

Love lives the Joys;
Lust just seeks them!

Love is for the One in Many;
Lust is for the Many in One!

Love is Selfless;
Lust is selfish!

Love generates Tranquility;
Lust begets excitement all around!

LOVE……………………TO BE!
LUST………………NOT TO BE!

Choice is YOURS!

धन्यवाद:

See you in the next episode
With lots of love
