Narada Bhakti Sutra - Post 11

Dear All,

Now we move on to the last 2 expressions of verse 3.

Amrito Bhavati: He who has attained God realisation becomes immortal. He ever lives in the presence of God. He has his being in God. He has no more desires and so he will not take any more body or birth. Immortality, amritatwa constitutes the essential nature of Bhakti.

Tripto Bhavati : A devotee who is a Siddha or who is perfect, and who is immortal is absolutely satisfied.

Contentment here referred to is not the kind of satisfaction which one gets when some desire is fulfilled. It is absolute satisfaction that comes from the absence of all desires and the attainment of God realisation. Only when one attains the highest perfection he can be perfectly satisfied in his own Self. Only then, he can be contented with oneself. There is no other gain superior to that absolute satisfaction attained through God-realisation.

He who has the philosopher’s stone cares not for little pieces of gold. Even so a devotee who has reached the fountain source of everything cares not for the little objects of this world.

The devotee loves God and serves Him and His creation. He does not strive consciously for Mukti but God confers Mukti on His devotee unsolicited.

Special note by Author on Trupto Bhavati

In 2012, spiritual session on a verse from  Brahmanandavalli in Taittriya Upanishad was given by the Author to a select group of devotees on a verse which says,

“HE WHO KNOWS…WITHIN THE CAVE OF HIS HEART, REALISES ALL HIS DESIRES ALONG WITH THE OMNISCIENT BRAHMAN”

This line of the verse was further explained in the highest context of Brahman to the devotees.

Afterwards, the  essence of “Realizing / Fulfilling all desires (Trupto Bhavati) was also explained in a relatively lucid manner to the devotees later and the essence of the same is reproduced below,  replacing "Brahman" which was explained in that teaching given with "God", so that it becomes relatively easier to understand.

In  our  desire fulfillment at worldly level, each desire is fulfilled successively.

· If you have one pleasure, you cannot have another pleasure at the same time, and if you want to have a third kind of pleasure, the first two must go. Thus, you cannot have varieties of pleasure at the same time because of the conditioning factor introduced by the sense organs in such experience.

·  Your senses do not give you simultaneous knowledge of anything. When one thing is happening, another thing is forgotten.

Except god realization, all other desire fulfillments: -

•     are caused by senses.

•  are due to fulfillment of a desire of processing /  experiencing something which is outside yourself.

•   Due   to the above 2 conditioning factors, you cannot enjoy more than 1 desire at one time. the mere fact that the   desire fulfillment is due to your sense perception of object outside you, these 2 factors playing together- senses and outside objects - can give you fulfillment of only one desire at a time.

•  Have you ever experienced, that you could simultaneously enjoy fulfillment of more   than 1 desire at a time?? not possible!! 

• And, since a human is always hungry to experience (though it takes him lots and lots of birth to even know about this hunger) the ultimate / eternal / everlasting desire (which can be joy, not desire), he jumps from one tree to another, runs from pillar to post, enjoying one fruit (desire), leaving the remains then and there and jumping in search of a more sweeter fruit which he believes can give him more happiness for increased duration of time than the former fruit. 

• Not only that he jumps from one fruit to another, after jumping to 10 fruits like this, his vasanas (mental impressions on consuming each fruit) draws him back sometimes from the 10^th fruit to the 2^nd fruit and thus he is caught in the chakravyuh of the objective world of objective fruits.

Now come to the desire fulfillment upon God  realization/  Finding and merging with God, in love, with Love and AS  LOVE.

All the conditioning factors in the earlier relative desire fulfillment are not there in God realization.

Neither senses are there, nor mind is there, nor external objects are there and therefore, the fulfillment is not due to anything without. 

The fulfilment here is within, total, complete, not successive or one by one, but instant and simultaneous.

It is not fulfilling one desire at a time when it comes to desire fulfillment of Finding God. 

There are no other desires and hence it is not that any other desire is there in the waiting line, to be fulfilled after God realization fulfillment. 

When you have Found God and merged in God, then along with that, all possible desires are fulfilled

                                              because

you cannot have any more desires to be fulfilled, upon fulfillment of desire to merge with God, in LOVE.

Hence, the one who has found God is - TRUPTO BHAVATI!!!!

Love.
