Pragmatic Bhakti Sutra, Shlokas 23-24
Update: 2023-02-11
Description
Shloka 23: तद्विहीनं जाराणामिव॥ २३॥
tad-vihīnaṁ jārāṇāmiva.
तद्-विहीनं - love without the knowledge of the glory of the Lord; जाराणां - of couples indulging in illicit love; इव - like
If they did not have that knowledge of Krishna’s divinity, then their love would have been illicit love similar to that of a mistress for any of her men.
Shloka 24: नास्त्येव तस्मिन्स्तत्सुखसुखित्वम्॥ २४॥
nāsti eva tasmins tat-sukha-sukhitvam.
तस्मिन् - in that profane love; तत्सुखसुखित्वं - happiness in the happiness given to another; न - not; अस्ति - is; एव - surely
In the profane love for the paramour, the sense of happiness in the happiness given to another, surely does not exist at all.
