Swami B. V. Tripurari Live Q&A; February 11, 2024: Pull the Arrow Out for God’s Sake

Questions on today's Swami call:

0:00 How can we use feelings of sadness about the impermanence of relationships in this world as negative impetus for practice?

00:13:50 The attainment of bhava is said to come out of sadhana, but should we see bhava as the goal of our practice or focus on our practice as an end in itself?

00:23:39 Kashmiri Shaivites also speak about spiritual emotions, and Sri Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya recognized symptoms of spiritual emotions in Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu the first time he saw him. How is it that Shaivites and Advaitins have an understanding of spiritual emotions even though bhava-bhakti is not their goal?

00:32:31 Is it offensive to believe that jivas can fall from the spiritual world? Will misunderstandings about our philosophy hamper our progress?
