BODHAYANTI PARASPARAM – VOL 3
Based on the purushartas also our bhakti will vary, we have got four purushartas, Artha, Kama, Dharma and Moksha. An Artharti Bhakti is entirely different from a kamaarthi bhakti which is entirely different from dhramarthi bhakti and which is totally different from the mokshaarthi bhakti. So which one are you, what are you seeking, are you seeking money, are you seeking fame, are you seeking pleasures or are you prepared to surrender totally to the divine, liberate yourselves from all this, so which one are you, it is a fundamental question you have to put to yourself. At various stages of life we have got various demands on us, social demands are there, personal demands are there, certain times your position is such that you seem to be compelled to seek some artha. Do we yield to that or are we able to keep our goal, goal clarity. Is it possible for us to ignore those things, suppose you are seeking keerthi, dharma keerthi, nothing wrong in asking for that, Shibi did it, Bali did it, why not we. But if you succumb to that, Dharmarthi and the bhakti of that type of dharmarthi, is entirely different from moksha arthi. We are talking about a liberation in our system.
