Glimpses of Sentiments
(157) Intellect considering virtues belonging to others shows affection towards evils.
Faith considering evils belonging to others shows affection towards noble, righteous things.
After understanding the distance remaining between the sky and a very deep stratum of the earth, accepting faith, removing away the intellect whosoever tries to meet me, gain me, he could never be pulled by any force in the world.
He just can not become of others ceasing to be mine.
With an intense cravings for my virtuous form, righteous form he does not desire even in a dream for this world.
Leaving me he can not become a lover of any beauty.
~
Without getting tempted and getting confused seeing various kinds of forms of the world, he only is uniting with myself - altogether in a different form at the end finds eternal restfulness, gets totally satisfied, fulfilled. He gets unbounded freedom.
But child !
Would you like absolute deduction of intellect, total destruction of any logic, permament exit of arguments, a funeral procession of doubts?
Then only in real meaning, festivals- new and novel you will be able to enjoy daily.
In experiencing emotional sentimental devotion the intellect is a tremendous obstacle, it is an iron wall.
