Further insights into divine love In this section, Narad Ji describes the ultimate divine love, Siddha Bhakti.

Shloka 51: अनिर्वचनीयं प्रेमस्वरुपम्॥ ५१॥ 

anirvacanīyaṁ prema-svarūpam.

अनिर्वचनीयम् - indescribable, inexplicable; प्रेमस्वरुपम् - the inherent nature of divine love

The inherent nature of divine love cannot be described or defined. It can only be realized.

Shloka 52: मूकास्वादनवत्॥ ५२॥ 

mūkāsvādana-vat. 

मूक-अस्वादन-वत् - like the dumb man’s experience of delightful taste 

Like the taste enjoyed by the dumb person.

Shloka 53: प्रकाशते क्वापि पात्रे॥ ५३॥ 

prakāśate kvāpi pātre.

प्रकाशते - comes to express, is manifested; क्व-अपि - rare, somewhere, sometimes; पात्रे - in a fit recipient

Only in the hearts of some rare ones who are capable and deserving recipients, this kind of indescribable divine love and grace of God gets realized.


Shloka 54: गुणरहितं कामनारहितं प्रतिक्षणवर्धमानं अविच्छिन्नं सूक्ष्मतरं अनुभवरुपम्॥ ५४॥ 

guṇa-rahitaṁ kāmanā-rahitaṁ pratikṣaṇa-vardhamānam avicchinnaṁ sūkṣma-taraṁ anubhava-rūpam.

गुण-रहितम् - devoid of all attributes; कामना-रहितम् - without any desire whatsoever; प्रतिक्षण-वर्धमानम् - growing every moment; अविच्छिन्नम् - unbroken, constant; सूक्ष्म-तरम् - supremely subtle; अनुभव-रुपम् - of the nature of immediate experience

This supreme love is devoid of attributes (Nirguna); it is free from all selfish desires; it grows in intensity every moment; it is a continuous and consistent inner experience, subtler than the subtlest.
