Cultivating Love Divine
In the following sutras, Narada declares the methods of cultivating and securing the spirit of devotion in the hearts of the seekers: Indeed, the sources of devotion are explored fully through(1) renuciation of sense-objects and also by (2) giving up wordly attachments (Sutra35)
The technique of self-perfection consists of : a) detachment, which leads to withdrawal from the pursuits of the senses and of pleasure in sense objects; and b)attachment to the supreme through a devoted, selfless surrender to Him.
This is like the technique of falling asleep. To reach sleep we must first move away from the waking state, invoke sleep, and then totally surrender ourselves to the enveloping dark silence of the state of sleep-consciousness. In this sutra, Narada explains how to achieve a sense of detachment, and in the next few sutras he explains how to develop attachment to the supreme.
We are generally attached to both inert things and sentient beings, which together constitute the dynamic world around us. Our worldly relationships are to be chastened by changing the attitude of our love towards them. Our love for an individual becomes an attachment when it is poisoned by the expection of gratification the we expect to gain through that individual. As long as that person remains, we become desperate for their continued existence! This suicidal reationship that compels our own love to stifle us is called attachment.
To
be
a
slave
to
the
world
of
sense
objects,
or
to
the
world
of
beings,
is
to
debase
one's
own
personality.
Such
a
person
cannot
offer
himself
to
the
Lord
as
a
free,
self-
willed,
energetic
person,
but
a
confused,
dull,
and
miserable
person
caught
in
a
web
of
worldly
entanglements.
To
renounce
the
sense
objects
is
thus
essential,
and
this
is
achieved
through
right
thinking
and
correct
self-analysis.
It
is
then
that
we
come
to
understand
the
true
meaning
of
renunciation(vairagya),
giving
up
the
sense
of
pain
or
pleasure
in
the
sense
objects
is
vairagya,
not
physically
renouncing
the
sense
objects.
To renounce something, we must first own it, we cannot give up something that we do not own, for nothing in this world belongs to us. The only thing we can give up is our own imposition of likes and dislikes, and pain and pleasure. Thus a person of true detachment becomes self-sufficient and entirely God centered.
