Is there a reaon why this forum is not the best place to discuss this subject matter?
In the mother-child analogy, does the child do everything to please the mother?
If the Bhaktha and the Lord are one and identical, then why insist to "do whatever is to be done for the SOLE PLEASURE OF THE LORD" ?
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The game goes on and on, the loving exchange between them keeps increasing to no end. Such is the wonder and joy of Bhakthi.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I mean no disrespect to you or others, but from my point of view I see this as a "fixation" over one particular individual.
Analogies given by acharyas are fine and dandy. Well there is no doubt of the kinkiness in adultery. I know you are not suggesting an adharmic society where there are no rules, inhibitions and laws. But if everybody is to experience the supreme bliss and resort to lustful acts, the society wouldn't be the way it is now.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->This lust is considered the highest form of devotional love, but there are much to learn about it. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
How come only the girls get to exhibit this kind of love? Are there any instances where males have sort this sort of adulterous love with say Parvati, Lakshmi, Sita...? Well Ravana lusted for Sita and paid a heavy price. I have heard about Sanskrit poems, but even there the poet had to pay a price.
Pardon me for inducing humor, but if I were to go about saying such things towards any of the goddesses, after convincing my wife; my mom would skin me alive first when she hears this. I doubt she would be the mother in the mother-child analogy and allow me to enjoy. For some strange reason if she lives me to live, the VHP-Bajarang Dal-RSS would probably throw stones at my house.
