Love: Sat Chid Ananda. Every action is motivated by love of

James Swartz – Big Picture of Vedanta – Talk 1

Posted on 4. February 2021 by nadarupa

To direct love to the Self you have to practice. Love in
relations is dualistic love. Personal gods are symbols to

the joy in an object? Inquiry into love. Yoga is necessary to
understand nondual love. Love is the nature of the Self.
