Search For Happiness
So the difference between *k**a* and *prema* is the difference between darkness and light.
When your goal is how can I get happiness, that's k**a or lust. Now lust is dirty word, right. But all the worldly love is categorized into this.
And when the goal is the happiness of the beloved that's love, and this love is like the Sun and lust is like darkness. For endless lifetimes our habit was to love other people for our sake.
Our material intellect is habituated to thinking what's there in it for me. What will I get? So when we come to the divine realm we apply the same formula.
If I do bhakti what will I get. If I don't get anything then am I crazy to do bhakti🤔
However, there's something between lust and love 💕as well. And that's business 😇
In lust, the goal is take take take. In love the goal is give give give.
And in business the goal is give and take.
But what I get should be more than what I give, otherwise I'm a foolish businessman.
So this give and take is business! Now when we approach God we also go with the same mentality to do business.
I will do bhakti then I should get this this and this😉
Somebody came to a Guru and said: Gurudeva, why should I chant the name of God?
So Guru said: Because God is great, He is your eternal relative.
The aspirant said: Okay, but if I take the name of God what will I get?
The Guru said: Now you have started your business 🤦🏻♂️
When we wish to go into the divine realm remember something, all this get get we think about is low level thing.
If you can forsake that and leave it to God, He'll give you the highest thing!
Hare Krishna 🙏🏼
